O Cavaleiro Inexistente by Italo Calvino
A witty, fable-like novella set in Charlemagne’s retinue that revolves around an impeccably disciplined suit of armor who insists he is a perfect knight despite having no body, and the young, impulsive squire whose loyalty and quirks force the group to confront what 'existence' really means. Through comic episodes, courtly intrigue and philosophical asides, the story satirizes chivalric ideals and bureaucratic faithfulness, probing identity, duty and the contrast between outward form and inner substance.
