Line 1: {{~~trope~~work}} '''''Invisible Cities''''' is a novel by Italian author Italo Calvino, who also wrote ''[[If on a winter's night a traveler]]''. Like all of Calvino's works, ''Invisible Cities'' is as much a puzzle box as a story: it plays with the concepts of language, imagination and communication. The novel consists of [[The Travels of Marco Polo\|Marco Polo]]'s descriptions of the many fantastic cities he has seen, delivered to an at first skeptical Kublai Khan. The cities are classified according to their nature: "Cities and the Dead", "Hidden Cities", "Cities and Eyes" etc. These short passages are interspersed with dialogues between the two men.
