![]() These interludes between the two characters are no less poetically constructed than the cities, and form a framing device that plays with the natural complexity of language and stories. Short dialogues between Kublai and Polo are interspersed every five to ten cities discussing these topics. The majority of the book consists of brief prose poems describing 55 fictitious cities that are narrated by Polo, many of which can be read as parables or meditations on culture, language, time, memory, death, or the general nature of human experience. The book is framed as a conversation between the elderly and busy emperor Kublai Khan, who constantly has merchants coming to describe the state of his expanding and vast empire, and Polo. The book explores imagination and the imaginable through the descriptions of cities by an explorer, Marco Polo. It was published in Italy in 1972 by Giulio Einaudi Editore. ![]() Invisible Cities ( Italian: Le città invisibili) is a novel by Italian writer Italo Calvino. ![]()
