Pour bien voir la terre, il faut la regarder d'un peu loin. En 1767, suite à une dispute avec ses parents au sujet d'un plat d'escargots, le jeune Côme Laverse du Rondeau monte dans l'yeuse du jardin. Il ne descendra plus des arbres jusqu'à sa mort, s'y éveillant au savoir et à l'amour, à la solitude comme à la fraternité. Conte philosophique en hommage au siècle des Lumières, autoportrait d'un excentrique épris de liberté, Le baron perché enchante par son humour généreux, ses constantes inventions, son humanisme intemporel. Le baron perché fait partie de la trilogie Nos ancêtres, qui comprend également Le vicomte pourfendu et Le chevalier inexistant.

Work Description

Il romanzo racconta le vicende di Cosimo di Rondò, vissuto nella seconda metà del XVIII secolo in piccolo paese della Liguria. Cosimo, per sfuggire ad un punizione, decide di salire su un albero e non scenderne mai più: si costruisce un mondo aereo dove diversi personaggi della cultura e della politica (Napoleone compreso) lo vanno a trovare, testimoniandogli la loro ammirazione. Vive anche una tormentata storia d'amore con la volubile Viola. Cosimo muore vecchio, senza mai discendere in terra: ammalato, in punto di morte, si aggrappa alla fune di una mongolfiera e scompare mentre attraversa, così appeso, il mare.
