The Path to the Spiders' Nests: Revised Edition

After a mishap with a Nazi soldier, Pin becomes involved with a band of partisans. Calvino's portrayal of these characters, seen through the eyes of a child, is not only a revealing commentary on the Italian resistance but an insightful coming-of-age story. Updated to include...

Palomar je poslední větší próza Itala Calvina a i zde se autor rozhodl pro originální experiment. Kapitoly této knihy bychom mohli vnímat jako básně v próze, ale spíše je lze označit za křížence románu nebo básně s esejem. V Calvinově díle má jejich titulní protagonista, pan Palomar, četné předchůdce – rozmanité komentátory a spekulativní talenty. Ti všichni jsou, stejně jako on, velkými pozorovateli světa, protože pozorování věcí je podle Calvina naším základním úkolem. Pan Palomar však chce svět nejen uvidět a pochopit, ale také popsat a...

ISBN: 9788073638337 / Czeski / 2017 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Román Když jedné zimní noci cestující je rafinovaným beletristickým dílem, je to „kniha o knihách“, i o sobě samé.

Calvinovi se tak do struktury jednoho románu podařilo zakomponovat fragmenty různých prozaických žánrů, které napodobuje a paroduje. Četba této neobvyklé knihy vyvolává otázky po...
