Italo Calvino, Conferences, Literature, Writing.Abstract
"Lightness", "Speed", "Accuracy", "Visibility" and "Multiplicity" are five conferences that Italo Calvino had prepared for Harvard University and, due to the sudden death of the author, could never hold them. The goal in view: to have these lectures devote some values or qualities or characteristics of the literature which are particularly dear. They are also five of the qualities of writing (a sixth, the Consistency, would be the theme of the last conference never written) that Calvino would have wanted to convey to the humanity of the next millennium.
