Romanzi e racconti. Gli amori difficili

The collection presents a theory of characters with a precise registry identity, photographed at a particular moment that can be define an impossible encounter with the other than oneself: "what underlies many of these stories" - Calvino writes in the Introductory Note to the work - "is a difficulty of communication, a zone of silence at the bottom of human relationships", so much so that the term adventure is
almost ironic, since it often "indicates only an inner movement , the story of a state of mind, an itinerary toward silence".
