Description
The Nonexistent Knight by Italo Calvino is a witty and engaging novella that playfully subverts medieval knighthood. In this picaresque tale, a gleaming white suit of armor with nothing inside it embarks on a journey to confirm the chastity of a virgin he saved from rape years earlier.
As Agilulf navigates through France, England, and North Africa, his search is filled with surprising turns of plot. Narrated by a nun with her own secrets to keep, this sparkling novella draws its reader in with its clever wit and humorous charm.
A satisfying conclusion awaits at the end of this sparkling novella, as Agilulf's journey comes full circle in a closing confession that brings the story to a perfect finish.
