The Road to San Giovanni, Paperback / softback Book

The Road to San Giovanni Paperback / softback

Part of the Penguin Modern Classics series

Paperback / softback

Less than 10 available - usually despatched within 24 hours

Description

In five elegant autobiographical meditations Calvino delves into his past, remembering awkward childhood walks with his father, a lifelong obsession with the cinema and fighting in the Italian Resistance against the Fascists.

He also muses on the social contracts, language and sensations associated with emptying the kitchen rubbish and the shape he would, if asked, consider the world.

These reflections on the nature of memory itself are engaging, witty, and lit through with Calvino's alchemical brilliance.
