Description
The Nonexistent Knight & The Cloven Viscount is a collection of two novellas that explore the complexities of human nature through the lens of medieval fantasy. The first, a humorous and irreverent tale told from the perspective of a nun, pokes fun at the conventions of chivalry, while the second, a more fantastical story, delves into the nature of good and evil through the metaphor of a nobleman bisected into his dual selves.
Translated with brilliance and precision, these two novellas showcase the unique blend of wit, imagination, and intellectual curiosity that has come to define the work of Italo Calvino. a worthwhile read for anyone interested in exploring the boundaries of fantasy and the human condition.
