Storia
Storia
It was the first month of King of Rome, the desk of my study was still facing the door and not on the right as now. A boy enters with a book in his hand and asks me for a commission.
“Yes, tell me what you would like me to represent for you”
“I would like you to represent the first chapter of this book” and he gives it to me.
Cosmicomics, Italo Calvino.
Cosmicomics is a collection of 12 stories that Calvino wrote in 1962 about the universe, space and time. The first chapter is called The Distance of the Moon. I read it.
The story has 4 people as protagonists: the old Qfwfq, his deaf cousin, the captain of the cork boat with his wife Vhd Vhd. There was also a little girl, I think, but I don't remember what she does. Anyway, they are all on the boat, precisely, to go and get the moon milk that is between the cracks of the Moon with a ladder. And to go there they take advantage of the proximity of the Moon at a specific time in a specific place where it is possible to climb on it. The deaf man who was the best at climbing goes up, but then the woman catches up with him because she was in love with him. Then when the Moon was about to move away, the deaf man jumps into the sea while the woman stays on top, then the old man, who was in love with the woman who was in love with the deaf man, reaches her to be able to spend a month with her but then he realizes he is homesick for Earth so he wants to get off but the woman stays up because of gravity, in short, it's a mess because these two remain suspended and attract and repel each other like two magnets.
What Calvino meant with this strange story I don't know. I googled it and it seems he was referring to Darwin when he wrote that once the Moon was very close to the Earth but the tides pushed it away. He treats the Moon like a magnet that brings people who love each other closer and further apart. Weird is weird, but isn't it wonderful?
