Traveling with Calvin

The "Cloven Viscount"
Is the theme of the double which is in us.
The struggle between good and evil in soul and body.
The bad relationship between these two appearances, as distinct realities, produces "The human being"
Divide the character figuratively, it is both ironic and insane, riproponendoci, the theme of the absurd, topical today.
The eye is divided into many eyes that "see" depending on your perspective, a concept, a thought and express it through the mouth, which is no longer the only means of communication, but many small mouths-eye.
The mouth shouting, speaking, singing, poetry sings, whispers, but then the whole body to express their true thoughts.
Halving or separating these elements, it is not the most human, and that's the absurd, it is, as it is this dichotomy that make HUMAN.
The Cloven Viscount is all about.
Italo Calvino expressed with mere literary mastery this report, as if the "Viscount" was a real character even if "halved".
