Another interesting story from Calvino's novel - Invisible Cities. This is a short story which mainly consists of explanations about the city of Baucis. The city is characterized by its wilderness and methods that people use to live there. I found it very impressing the way that the author describes the standards of living in this city while he constantly uses his broad imagination. He indicates that these people are far from the rest of the world. Particularly, Calvino describes their perception of the world filled with hate and dislike. On the other hand, they respect it so greatly that they avoided all contacts with the world. The author tries to emphasize the fact that they are technologically and culturally in disadvantage.
