The Invisible City
"The Invisible City" is a concept often associated with the writings of Italo Calvino, particularly in his book "Invisible Cities." In this work, Calvino presents a series of imaginative cities described through the eyes of Marco Polo, who recounts his travels to Kublai Khan. Each city symbolizes different aspects of human experience, culture, and imagination.
The cities are not physical places but rather reflections of ideas and emotions. They explore themes such as memory, desire, and the nature of reality, inviting readers to contemplate the relationship between the tangible world and the intangible experiences that shape our understanding of life.
