4,5 stars, hands down. A compelling story of young son of a Baron who, when standing against his fathers authority climbs up in a three and stays in trees the rest of his life. So many interesting angles of life in this relatively short novel. Cosimo stays in the trees for two reasons. Out of love to sinferosa and out of conviction that in order to examine world you have to above it. His ideas go about society go largely unnoticed as people tend to see him as a village idiot. Meanwhile the world around goes gets more violent and confusing..
