Invisible Cities 2 I tried to translate another city from "Invisible cities" by Italo Calvino. Can you correct it? Once entered in the land that has Eutropia as chief town, traveler sees more than one city, equals in size and not different from each other, lie in a big and hilled land. Eutropia is not one, but all these cities togheter; one is inhabited, the others empty and this happens in turn. I’ll tell you how. The day Eutropia inhabitants get tired, and nobody suffers anymore his job, his relatives, his home and his street, debts, people to greet or greeting him, then everybody decides to move in the nearest city, lied waiting for them, empty and as new, where inhabitants will get a new job, a new wife, will see another outlook out of the window, will spend night in other hobbies and relationships. So their life get new move to move, in cities a bit different each other for slope, or waterways, or winds. Their society is ordered without big differences in richness and authority, so chances happen with no shock. Variety is assured by the big quantity of tasks and jobs, so rarely one go back in a job was already his. That’s how Eutropia repeats its life equal moving up and down in the empty chessboard. Inhabitants act in the same scenes with different actors; they say the same sentences with different slangs; they open mouths in similar yawnings. Eutropia, the only one in empire’s cities, persists identical to itself.

Ciao/ It is very difficult to make any comments or corrections without the original text. We know that literary translation is an art. Good luck!
