Plot Summary:
The Baron in the Trees is a long novel written by the Italian astronomer Italo Calvino, one of his trilogy Our Ancestors. Compared with One Hundred Years Of Solitude written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, this novel is more virtual and absurd. An accidental chance resulted in the baron’s odd behavior, which ordinary people didn’t understand. It is living in the tree that he stuck to from twelve years old. Believe it or not, living in the tree and touching the sky were his unshakable faith. Give me liberty or give me death.The lovely baron used his absurd life to tell us that the world is not perfect, but it is worth fighting for.
