If on a Winter's Night a Traveler
ISBN: 9780156439619 / Angielski / Miękka / 1982 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Italo Calvino imagines a novel capable of endless mutations in this intricately crafted story about writing and readers.
If on a Winter's Night a Traveler turns out to be not one novel but ten, each with a different plot, style, ambience, and author, and each interrupted at a moment of suspense. Together they form a labyrinth of literatures, known and unknown, alive and extinct, through which two readers, a male and a female, pursue both the story lines that intrigue them and one another.

Palomar
ISBN: 9788076750234 / Czeski / 2021 / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. 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...

Když jedné zimní noci cestující
ISBN: 9788073638337 / Czeski / 2017 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Román Když jedné zimní noci cestující je rafinovaným beletristickým dílem, je to „kniha o knihách“, i o sobě samé. Kombinují se zde dvě narativní linky – tou první je příběh Čtenáře a Čtenářky, druhou tvoří úvodní kapitoly deseti románů, které se mezi sebou rozmanitými způsoby proplétají, a tím vyvolávají napětí a neustále živí čtenářovu zvědavost. Calvinovi se tak do struktury jednoho románu podařilo zakomponovat fragmenty různých prozaických žánrů, které napodobuje a paroduje. Četba této neobvyklé knihy vyvolává otázky po...

Każda opisuje spotkanie podróżnych, którzy z niewiadomych przyczyn nie mogą porozumiewać się za pomocą głosu, a jedynym sposobem opowiadania o swoich losach jest przedstawianie ich za pomocą kart tarota. Narrator dokonuje interpretacji tych historii, nawiązując do klasyków literatury, takich jak Ludovico Ariosto czy William Szekspir. Wykładane na stół karty tworzą misterną konstrukcję, a losy podróżnych splatają się ze sobą, przez co można je interpretować w sposób odmienny niż sugerowany...
