The Baron in the Trees

The Baron in the Trees tells the story of Cosimo Piovasco di Rondò, a young Italian nobleman who, after a family dispute, decides to live his life entirely in the trees.

The novel follows his adventures, friendships, and romantic encounters as he navigates the world from his arboreal perspective.

Italo Calvino masterfully weaves a tale that blends fantasy with historical realism, exploring themes of individualism and societal norms.
