天生的梦想家马可瓦多，智多星马可瓦多。作为20世纪五六十年代意大利北部一个乏味的工业城市的低级工人，马可瓦多善于发现自然美，并热切的渴望更靠近他想象中未受到破坏的世界。他追寻他的梦想，为了减轻身上的负担，他用他的直率，而不是世故的方法，来压制他的幻想和尝试，他的举动另他的妻子，孩子，老板和邻居都大惑不解。他带来的结果永远是任何人都想不到的。
在20 个有着迷人魅力和非凡创意的故事中，伊塔罗。卡尔维诺创造了一幅令人难忘的肖像，叙述了智勇兼备的马可瓦多的经历：他策划在自家屋顶上诱捕鸟雀，他为了找到木柴砍下高速公路上广告牌，他为了照顾一株办公室里的植物（他背运时的伙伴）不惜走极端。无论是对“合成食品”进行一个人的战争，还是带着他的一家在一个他一件东西也买不起的超级市场里的梦幻旅行，马可瓦多都显示了独一无二的本性。Einaudi出版社1963年第一版，Harcourt Brace Jovanovich出版社1983年英语第一版，William Weaver翻译。
Marcovaldo the irrepressible dreamer, Marcovaldo the inveterate schemer. An unskilled worker in a drab northern Italian industrial city of the 1950s and 1960s, Marcovaldo has a practiced eye for spotting natural beauty and an unquenchable longing to come a little closer to the unspoiled world of his imagining. Much to the puzzlement of his wife, his children, his boss, and his neighbors, he chases his dreams, gives rein to his fantasies, tries—with more ingenuousness than skill—to lessen his burden and that of those around him. The results are never the anticipated ones.
In twenty stories of striking charm and exuberant originality, Italo Calvino creates a memorable portrait, recounting Marcovaldo's adventures with grade, verbe, and wit: Marcovaldo plotting to trap game birds on his apartment house roof, Marcovaldo chopping down highway billboards for firewood, Marcovaldo going to extremes to care for an office plant (his companion in misfortune). Whether vowing a personal war against "synthetic foods" or leading his family in a trancelike tour of a supermarket in which absolutely nothing is affordable, Marcovaldo remains inimitable himself.
