I assume you mean "Traveller". Invisible Cities is a bit of a surrreal trip through a series of imagined cities written in a contemplative narrative provided by Marco Polo at the court of Kubli Khan. Calvino's prose is wonderful here, IMO on a par with M. John Harrison at his best if you've read any of his stuff before. If not try his tour de force Viriconium.
