The Invisible Knight Author: [Italy] Italo Calvino Publisher: Yilin Press

Calvino Classics: The Absent Knight is one of Calvino's "Our Ancestors" trilogy. The "Our Ancestors" trilogy includes: The Absent Knight, The Viscount Who Broke in Two, and The Baron in the Trees. These three stories represent three stages leading to freedom, and are about how people realize their own experiences: fighting for survival in The Absent Knight, pursuing a complete life that is not destroyed by society in The Viscount Who Broke in Two, and a path to completeness in The Baron in the Trees - this is the non-individualistic completeness achieved through unswerving efforts in personal self-selection.

Ajiluerfu, a model soldier, exists in an empty armor, but he is the embodiment of a perfect knight. He is the only one who makes the armor meaningful. When his world-famous achievements are challenged, questioned, and about to be erased, can his existence still be justified?
