The essay aims to provide materials for an in-depth examination of some aspects of Il pianeta irritabile, the allegorical-apocalyptic novel published by Volponi in 1978, in the midst of youth movements and struggles. The first level of analysis is that of intertextuality: the hypothesis is that the novel is even more culturally saturated than has been recognised so far. The second level is that of the dynamics of interaction between the characters: the animal protagonists are neither anthropomorphised as they used to be in the fairy-tale or ironic-satirical tradition, nor are they figures of an absolute exteriority to humankind. The third level, barely touched upon, is that of the oblique connections with the youth protest of the Movimento 1977.
