Seis Propostas para o Próximo Milénio

Ítalo Calvino's 'Six Memos for the Next Millennium' is a collection of essays based on lectures Calvino was preparing to deliver at Harvard University before his death.

In these essays, Calvino explores the literary values he believed would be essential for the future of literature.

Each essay focuses on a specific quality: lightness, quickness, exactitude, visibility, and multiplicity.

Calvino delves into the importance of these virtues in literature and their relevance to understanding the complexities of the modern world.

The planned sixth lecture on consistency was never written, leaving the book with five insightful reflections.
