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 the experience of how people realize themselves: 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 there is a path to completeness in "The Baron in the Trees" - this is the non-individualistic completeness achieved through unswerving efforts in personal self-selection.
A stubborn rebellion made Cosimo decide to never get down from the tree at the age of twelve. From then on, he lived in the tree all his life, but his life was more closely connected to the earth. Is it true that only by alienating oneself from people first can one finally be with them?
About the Author · · · · · ·
Italo Calvino (1923-1985)
The most influential contemporary Italian writer in the world. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1985, but missed the prize due to his sudden death that year. However, he and his works have already had a huge impact on the Italian and even world literary circles.
Calvino has been engaged in literary creation for 40 years, and has been trying to use various methods to express the life and soul of contemporary people. His works integrate realism, surrealism and postmodernism, and construct unimaginable stories with rich fairy tale meanings with rich methods and peculiar angles. They are highly praised by contemporary writers and have a profound impact on them. The trilogy "Our Ancestors", "The Castle of Crossed Fates" and "Palomar" have reached amazing artistic heights and ideological depths. "Italian Fairy Tales" has preserved the original appearance of Italian folk oral stories to the greatest extent, and has both artistic and academic values. It is a rare work that reproduces the deep accumulation of Italy's "national memory". "American Lectures" is a systematic review and theoretical summary and elaboration of Calvino's rich experience in nearly 40 years of novel creation practice. His works reflect the times in a unique way and even transcend the times.
