Marcovaldo Italo Calvino Marcovaldo ovvero Le stagioni in città, è un romanzo principalmente umoristico, uscì per la prima volta nel 1963 ed è composto da venti novelle. In the rapidly changing digital sphere CEEOL is a reliable source of adjusting expertise trusted by scholars, publishers and librarians. We argue that the banality of Calvino’s setting is only apparent and that his protagonist is involved in some adventures that are far from being common.ĬEEOL is a leading provider of academic e-journals and e-books in the Humanities and Social Sciences from and about Central and Eastern Europe. The last part will add another significant aspect to the discussion, namely the identification of certain fantastical elements embedded in the narrative structure of Calvino’s stories, elements considered by McHale, author of Postmodernist Fiction, as characteristic of a new type of fantasy, the postmodern one. The second part is concerned with underlying Calvino’s views on the fantastic, by looking into his essays on the fantastic and Italian fairytales. The first part of the study focuses on some theoretical considerations on the fantastic, starting from Remo Ceserani’s essential book, Il fantastico (1996), and continuing with other writings dedicated to the subject. Le recueil d'Italo Calvino nous propose plusieurs de ses tranches de vie, tales sur 5 ans raison d'un rcit par saison, dans lesquels on peut par exemple voir Marcovaldo essayer de dormir la belle toile en plein centre-ville, partir la chasse aux champignons. In doing so, we intend to increase the visibility of the texts in question, which became extremely popular amongst general readers, but received limited attention from the academia, who rushed into following the author’s opinion and labelling them as children’s literature. Marcovaldo est ouvrier, doux rveur et amoureux de la nature, il vit sans le sous en ville avec sa femme et ses enfants. Summary/Abstract: The present paper aims to investigate a peculiarity of the Italian fantastic, specific to the first half of the 20th century, and present in some of Italo Calvino’s stories about Marcovaldo, a labourer from the countryside, trapped in the big city and struggling with material difficulties.
