CALVINO
E IL MARE DELL'ALTRO

This book traces a new itinerary in Calvino’s imagination,
leading us towards a different symbolic landscape : the one of Anglo-Saxon
culture and literature from the 18th to 20th century. Pioneers,
explorers of new worlds are the protagonists and authors of the
stories of this “unknown” Calvino, which flow together
like models in his allegoric-fantastic book Il barone rampante.
Through a series of possible paths in the network of symbols relating
Calvino’s work to those of Defoe, Sterne, Conrad, Stevenson,
this essay tells the story of Calvino’s Anglophilia and the
political and personal reasons of his public removal.
