«El barón rampante» is the novel by Italo Calvino, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (285 pages, in Spanish).
Cosimo Piovasco di Rondò, a young nobleman, climbs up a tree as a sign of rebellion and decides never to come down. From the treetops he witnesses village life and events such as the French Revolution and the Napoleonic campaigns, and maintains ties with the world without giving up his distance: a fable about freedom and individuality.
The novel was originally published in 1957 as Il barone rampante and is the second installment of the trilogy I nostri antenati. Translation by Esther Benítez.
For readers of Italian literary classics and novels that combine history, fantasy, and reflection on the individual.
