À propos de cet audio

In this fantastically macabre tale, the separate halves of a nobleman split in two by a cannonball go on to pursue their own independent adventures.

In a battle against the Turks, Viscount Medardo of Terralba is bissected lengthwise by a cannonball. One half of him returns to his feudal estate and takes up a lavishly evil life. Soon the other, virtuous half appears. The two halves become rivals for the love of the same woman, fight a bloody duel, and achieve a miraculous resolution.

Now available in an independent volume for the first time, this deliciously bizarre novella is Calvino at his most devious and winning.

Amazing way of storytelling but the story wasn't for my kind of taste. The narrator is amazing as well.
