No longer am I yelling about Invisble Cities by Italo Calvino & begging people to read it. Enough is enough. I am taking matters into my own hands. Please join me for...
💌Invisible Cities storytime💌
Every day, I will post the next chapter of this fabulous fantastical book, narrated in English by yours truly. I have Zero (0) experience in this field but I am fuelled by passion 👍
The book features the imagined descriptions that Venetian explorer Marco Polo gives to the great Kublai Khan as he journeys throughout his empire. As the book proceeds through one magical metaphorical city after another, more is revealed about Marco Polo's relationship with the Khan and with his own native city, Venice...
Each chapter describing a new city is about 1-2 minutes long, with the occasional chapter featuring a rendezvous between Marco & the Khan reaching up to 4 minutes — perfectly bite-sized!
Feel free to follow along with the tag '#Invisible Cities storytime' if you don't want to miss out, or else dip your toes in as you please (start with the Thin Cities & the Sky Cities in this case — my personal favourites 💙). Sadly, I won't be posting transcripts with each chapter because copyright :T
The first chapter is here!
