FantasySynopsis
Marco Polo entertains the aging Kublai Khan with tales of the fantastical cities he has visited throughout the emperor's vast domain. Each city is a poetic meditation on memory, desire, signs, and the hidden structures of human experience. Through 55 luminous prose poems, Calvino constructs an intricate exploration of how we understand and inhabit the places we call home.
