Castle of Intersecting Destiny

Italo Calvino, who presents the reader with a new literary experiment in each of his works, this time enters the world of magical tarot cards in "The Castle of Intersecting Destiny". The travelers, who had to interrupt their journey in the forest with the onset of darkness, come together in a castle; But they are all silent, because they are both the heroes of the narrative and the pictures on the tarot cards! Their stories can only be expressed through tarot cards lined up side by side; But since the number of cards is limited and the things they can tell are almost endless, the stories become intertwined, where one ends, the other begins, and each storyteller tries to grab the cards of his own story from someone else. While Italo Calvino contributes a unique invention to a tradition that extends from Boccaccio's "Dekameron", Chaucer's "Cantenbury Tales", Marguerite de Navarre's "Heptameron" to modern science-fiction stories, he gets the main support from the stories of great writers: Thus, "The Castle of Intersecting Destiny", where Hamlet, Macbeth, Orlando, Faust and many other famous stories are told in a new fiction, has gained the quality of a unique literary anthology.
