"Invisible Cities" is a novel by Italo Calvino that explores the imaginative descriptions of fictional cities through the conversations between the explorer Marco Polo and the emperor Kublai Khan. Each city represents different themes, such as memory, desire, and the human experience, inviting readers to reflect on the nature of urban life. The book is structured as a series of poetic vignettes, where each city is described in a unique and metaphorical way. This narrative style encourages readers to think about the relationship between reality and imagination, as well as the complexities of cultural identity and perception.
