| Italo Calvino tells the astonishing story of Cosme, a boy who decided to climb a tree and never touch the ground again. The book shows his life from the moment he decided to rebel against his family in such a strange way till the day he "passed away". Talks about someone who didn't want to belong to the same world of the "ground-walkers". It's a nice fable, and as many nice fables, talks about big truths about human beings, even the ones which do not climb the trees to escape‹or fight against‹his problems. | ||
