In the case of Calvino's character Cosimo, it is a life-long experience started by a child who matures in this new environment and takes active part in the surrounding important historical events. Desai's Sampath ends on a guava tree almost by accident, in his adult age, and does not control the repercussions of this choice. The paper discusses the similarities and differences between the two different concepts of freedom advocated by the characters, along with the inevitable rules and boundaries attached to these utopias.
