The stories that are told in "Invisible Cities" are near-perfect dialogues between Marco Polo and Kublai Khan, the Mongol Emperor. These stories are filled with imagination and ming-blowing details about the cities. Calvino's decription makes you imagine that you are experiencing those cities, like you are a part of them. Sometimes some details of the cities makes you feel like you have been there. As you go on reading the tales of the cities you stop and think, "Well, I was here before or I saw this once before but you can not really remember where it was, it is simply a 'Deja Vu'. This kind of description can rarely be found today in any other book. In the end, all I can say is that this book with all of its stories completely captivated me.
