Abstract

Amongst numerous sources, literature has long found inspiration in science. There exists among them similarities that permit an intertwining of which imagination is the bond. Italo Calvino’s “Cosmicomics” is here proposed as the basis for reflecting on the visibility of the world described by science, made possible through literature, for the validity of both discourses as modes of revealing the world.
