Abstract

Literary criticism dedicated to the writer Italo Calvino has long pointed to the centrality of the relationship between man, culture and nature in his fictional production. The question was constantly reformulated by the author, as he experienced the historical transformations of Italy in the second half of the Twentieth century. He was interested in the disjointed way in which modern man, living in his urban-industrial spatiality, dealt with nature, something still little present in the literature of the time. With the intention of investigating this theme, this research analyzed short "stories by Palomar", "Marcovaldo" or the "Seasons in the City" and the text "The Argentine Ant", which, presented in pairs, show contrasts and differences in the way the characters perceive and live with animal life. and the vegetation in the city (AU)
