Italo Calvino was only twenty-three when he first published this bold and imaginative novel. It tells the story of Pin, a cobbler's apprentice in a town on the Ligurian coast during World War II.

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...

T nula
ISBN: 9788076750722 / Czeski / 2023 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. V povídkách souboru T nula Italo Calvino rozvíjí tematiku i formální strategie iniciované Kosmickými groteskami a dokládá, že experimentální verva ho rozhodně neopustila. Calvino vždy přikládal velkou váhu dialogu literatury a vědy a byl přesvědčen, že právě vědecké hypotézy mohou spisovatele nejkratší cestou přivést k tomu, o čem by měl mluvit: k rozhovoru s univerzem. V prvním oddílu se opět vrací proteovský vypravěč Qfwfq, v následujícím triptychu Priscilla pak Calvino vytvořil obraz života na buněčné úrovni a povídky závěrečné části...

Il cavaliere inesistente
ISBN: 9788804772712 / Włoski / Miękka / 2023 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. "Stavolta Calvino si è spinto più a ritroso nei secoli e il suo romanzo si svolge tra i paladini di Carlomagno, in quel Medioevo fuori d'ogni verosimiglianza storica e geografica che è proprio dei poemi cavallereschi. Ma il sapore delle invenzioni calviniane è più che mai moderno. Quando sarebbe stato possibile dar vita ad Agilulfo, il cavaliere inesistente, se non oggi, nel cuore della più astratta civiltà di massa, in cui la persona umana tanto spesso appare cancellata dietro lo schermo delle funzioni, delle attribuzioni e dei comportamenti prestabiliti? ... Ma quel che più conta è...
