Story
Blending reality and illusion with elegance and precision, the stories in this collection - one of Calvino’s earliest - take place in a World War II era and postwar Italy tinged with the visionary and fablelike qualities that would come to define this master storyteller’s later style. A trio of gluttonous burglars invade a pastry shop; two children trespass upon a forbidden garden; a wealthy family invites a rustic goatherd to lunch, only to mock him.

Story
These intoxicating stories delve down to the core of our senses of taste, hearing, and smell. Amid the flavors of Mexico's fiery chiles and spices, a couple on holiday discovers dark truths about the maturing of desire in the title story, "Under the Jaguar Sun". In "A King Listens", a gripping portrait of a frenzied mind, the menacing echoes in a huge palace spur a tyrant's thoughts to the heights of paranoid intensity. "The Name, the Nose" drives to a startling conclusion as men across time and space pursue the women whose aromas have enchanted them.

Story
"La nuvola di smog" è un racconto continuamente tentato di diventare qualcos'altro: saggio sociologico o diario intimo. Immagine e ideogramma del mondo cui ci troviamo a far fronte è lo smog. La nebbia fumosa è carica di detriti chimici delle città industriali. Questo volume comprende anche un racconto di qualche anno prima e molto diverso, "La formica argentina", che l'autore ha voluto affiancare a "La nuvola di smog" per un'affinità strutturale e morale. Qui il male di vivere viene dalla natura: le formiche che infestano la riviera.

Story
These three stories, set during the summer of 1940, draw on Italo Calvino's memories of his own adolescence during the Second World War, too young to be forced to fight in Mussolini's army but old enough to be conscripted into the Italian youth brigades. The callow narrator of these tales observes the mounting unease of a city girding itself for war, the looting of an occupied French town, and nighttime revels during a blackout. Appearing here in its first English translation, Into the War is one of Calvino's only works of autobiographical fiction.

Story
"Appartengo a quella parte dell'umanità che passa gran parte delle sue ore di veglia in un mondo fatto di righe orizzontali: un mondo che può essere molto ricco, magari ancor più ricco di quello non scritto, ma che comunque richiede un aggiustamento speciale per situarsi al suo interno. Quando mi stacco dal mondo scritto per ritrovare il mio posto nell'altro, in quello che usiamo chiamare il mondo, fatto di tre dimensioni, cinque sensi, popolato da miliardi di nostri simili, questo equivale per me ogni volta a ripetere il trauma della nascita." (Italo Calvino)

Story
Il 19 maggio 1953 Leonardo Sciascia scrive a Italo Calvino, funzionario dell'Einaudi, chiedendo un libro da recensire. E lo invita a collaborare alla rivista «Galleria». È l'inizio di un fitto scambio epistolare tra i due che continuerà fino alla morte di Calvino, e che è stato integralmente ricostruito in queste pagine: 145 tra lettere, biglietti, cartoline, telegrammi. Il carteggio restituisce il loro rapporto di stima e amicizia: l'incontro, il reciproco scoprirsi e intendersi, la pubblicazione di molte delle loro opere, il parziale allontanamento degli anni Settanta.

Story
In five elegant autobiographical meditations Calvino delves into his past, remembering awkward childhood walks with his father, a lifelong obsession with the cinema, and fighting in the Italian Resistance against the Fascists. He also muses on the social contracts, language, and sensations associated with emptying the kitchen rubbish and the shape he would, if asked, consider the world. These reflections on the nature of memory itself are engaging, witty, and lit through with Calvino's alchemical brilliance.

Story
"I temi che tocco con 'La giornata d'uno scrutatore', quello della infelicità di natura, del dolore, la responsabilità della procreazione, non avevo mai osato sfiorarli prima d'ora. Non dico ora di aver fatto più che sfiorarli; ma già l'ammettere la loro esistenza, il sapere che si deve tenerne conto, cambia molto le cose". (Dalla presentazione scritta da Calvino nel 1963) L'attività di scrutatore in un seggio elettorale diventa per il protagonista l'occasione per meditare su se stesso e sulla follia del mondo.

Story
"Sono nato nel segno della Bilancia: perciò nel mio carattere equilibrio e squilibrio correggono a vicenda i loro eccessi. Sono nato mentre i miei genitori stavano per tornare in patria dopo anni passati nei Caraibi: da ciò l'instabilità geografica che mi fa continuamente desiderare un altrove. Il sapere dei miei genitori convergeva sul regno vegetale, le sue meraviglie e virtù. Io, attratto da un'altra vegetazione, quella delle frasi scritte, voltai le spalle a quanto essi m'avrebbero potuto insegnare; ma la sapienza dell'umano mi restò ugualmente estranea." (Italo Calvino)

Story
Oltre cento interviste distribuite nell'arco di quattro decenni: il più imponente corpus disponibile di autocommenti calviniani. L'effetto è quello di un grande cantiere autobiografico: un'autobiografia in progress, mobile e sfaccettata, costruita per successive espansioni. Un'autopresentazione simile a un prisma rotante che prende forma davanti ai nostri occhi, senza mai consentire una visione completa e stabilizzata. Proprio così, forse, Calvino avrebbe desiderato apparire: coerente ma non inerte, dinamico senza essere dispersivo, e intento a un'assidua costruzione di sé.

Declaração de ética, mais que de poética, as conferências que Calvino preparou para a Universidade Harvard representam o testamento artístico de um dos protagonistas literários do fim de milênio. Em meio à crise contemporânea da linguagem, cada vez mais aguda, o grande escritor italiano identifica as seis qualidades que apenas a literatura pode salvar - leveza, rapidez, exatidão, visibilidade, multiplicidade, consistência—, virtudes a nortear não apenas a atividade dos escritores mas cada um dos gestos de nossa existência.

"Mi è sempre stato difficile raccontare in prima persona i miei ricordi di guerra partigiana. Potrei farlo secondo varie chiavi narrative tutte egualmente veritiere: dal rievocare la commozione degli affetti in gioco, dei rischi, delle ansie, delle decisioni, delle morti, al puntare invece sulla narrazione eroicomica delle incertezze, degli errori, dei disguidi, delle disavventure in cui incappava un giovane borghese, impreparato politicamente, privo d'ogni esperienza di vita, vissuto in famiglia fino allora."

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.
