Abstract
[Genealogy of contemporary man: the anthropological literature of Italo Calvino] Italo Calvino explores the central themes of his time during the Cold War, which relate to modern man’s peculiar characteristics. Through an epic narrative, philosophical and existential questions are presented magically, while the problems are real and present. With his protagonists from previous eras, Italo Calvino shows something crucial about contemporary man, his neuroses, and his existential problems that are highly dependent on social bonds and legal claims.
