«O Barão Trepador» is the novel by Italo Calvino translated by José Manuel Calafate, published by Editorial Teorema (320 pages, in Portuguese).
The protagonist, Cosimo, a young nobleman, rebels against monotony by climbing trees and decides never to come down. From there he lives adventures, maintains love affairs, reads and reflects on the world. With echoes of Diderot, Rousseau, Voltaire or Napoleon, the work presents a satire between the sublime and the ridiculous about the ideal society.
This work is the second installment of the series «I nostri antenati» («Nuestros antepasados»). It was originally published in 1957 and received the Letterario Viareggio Rèpaci Prize.
For readers of classics, Italian literature and philosophical narrative with fantastical elements.
