A challenge to his honor sends Agilulf on a search through France, England, and North Africa to confirm the chastity of a virgin he saved from rape years earlier. In the end, after many surprising turns of plot, a closing confession draws this sparkling novella to a perfect finish.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>ITALO CALVINO's superb storytelling gifts earned him international renown and a reputation as "one of the world's best fabulists" (<i>New York Times Book Review</i>).
