(The Magic “Kolobok” and Other Writings)

Published in the series “Terza Pagina” (Third page), it collects articles published in the newspaper of Turin between 1963 and 1968, including several accounts on travels in Europe, on the natural environment, the people and the cities.

“Il magico Kolobok” in particular tells an imaginary journey in Russia on the footsteps of the writer Mikhail Mikhailovich Prisvin (see the imagine). The “kolobok” is a sphere, and even a round cake, but also indicates the enchanted guidance of the fairy tales that with their rolling induce the protagonist to follow them.
