«O castelo dos destinos cruzados» is the experimental novel by Italo Calvino, published by Editorial Teorema in paperback (126 pages, in Portuguese).
In a castle where the characters have lost the power of speech, the narrative advances through tarot cards: each guest places cards on the table and their combination allows stories to be interpreted as they cross one another. The whole becomes a mosaic of fantastic and symbolic tales that explore the narrative capacity of the tarot and its echoes in the collective unconscious.
Translation into Portuguese by José Colaço Barreiros. The work was originally published in 1969 as «Il castello dei destini incrociati»; this Portuguese edition is from 1973.
Intended for readers of experimental fiction, short fiction and tarot symbolism.
