From the Inside Flap
"In mezzo alla città di cemento e asfalto, Marcovaldo va in cerca della Natura. Ma esiste ancora, la Natura? Quella che egli trova è una Natura dispettosa, contraffatta, compromessa con la vita artificiale. Personaggio buffo e melanconico, Marcovaldo è il protagonista d'una serie di favole moderne, dove Italo Calvino va segnando, come in un suo block-notes segreto, avvenimenti impercettibili nella vita di una grande città industriale, quali possono essere il passaggio d'una nuvola carica di pioggia o l'arrivo mattutino d'uno sbuffo di vento. Quando le avventure di Marcovaldo hanno raggiunto un bel numero, seguendo come un colorato calendario l'alternarsi delle stagioni, Calvino le ha disposte in un libro. Partite come divagazioni comico-poetiche sul tema - 'neorealistico' per eccellenza - della più elementare lotta per la vita, le venti favole di Marcovaldo arrivano alla rappresentazione della più complicata realtà d'oggi, alla satira del 'miracolo economico' e della 'civiltà del consumo'; ma sempre restano fedeli a una classica struttura narrativa: quella delle storielle a vignette dei giornalini per l'infanzia. Marcovaldo non è altro che un Fortunello contemporaneo, un Bonaventura all'incontrario, un Pampurio dei caseggiati popolari". (Italo Calvino)
