«Las ciudades invisibles» is the novel by Italo Calvino, published by Siruela in paperback (172 pages, in Spanish).
Marco Polo describes to Kublai Khan imaginary cities named after women: microscopic towns, fabrics suspended over abysses, two-dimensional cities. Each vignette, framed by dialogues between traveler and emperor, is a poetic meditation on memory, desire and the modern city, between travel narrative and lyrical prose.
It belongs to the Biblioteca Italo Calvino collection, where it is volume 3. Translation by Aurora Bernárdez; original Italian Le città invisibili.
A title for readers of short fiction and poetic prose, and also for those seeking a literary reflection on the city and urbanism.
Italo Calvino was an Italian novelist and short story writer. His best-known works include the Our Ancestors trilogy (1952–1959), the Cosmicomics collection of short stories (1965), and the novels Invisible Cities (1972) and If on a winter's night a traveler (1979).
