Calvino has alot of authority here. He really knows what he is talking about in this essay. He keeps his thoughts clear and easy to understand. He really has a lot of emotion for the classics, you can see this a lot in this essay because every definition is a different reason you should read the classic novels. Calvino's essay seemed very well researched, like he didn't just jump in and start writing he thinks and researchs the things he wants to say first. At least, it seemed like he did to me. He really wants to make sure he gets his points across. Calvino mainly believes that if you are not fully mature you should not read the classic novels and he makes this very clear to the reader.
