Product details

Italo Calvino will not impose a "canon" on anyone. His essays on Manzoni, Stendhal, Balzac, Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Pasternak, Tolstoy, and many others are the result of a passionate reading experience that inspires discoveries and rediscoveries. It is a book that tells of personal experiences with books that have accompanied Italo Calvino throughout his life. "Classics are books that one believes to know by hearsay and finds all the more new, unexpected, and unknown when one reads them properly for the first time." Italo Calvino.
