Sobre este artículo
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Pantheon Books, 1995. First American Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Translated from the Italian by Tim Parks. "Written between 1943 and 1984, and masterfully translated by Tim Parks, these several dozen short fictions are whimsical and horrific, feverish and delightful, tragic and wry, sweet and brutal--sometimes alternately, sometimes all at once. Ranging over a panoply of concerns--politics, the nature of power, the implications of a relentless application of technology, the quest for truth, and the elusive possibility of human connection--they are all of them pure Calvino." As new,first edition, first printing, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. [Not remainder-marked or price-clipped] L96
Sinopsis
For the first time in paperback--a volume of thirty-seven diabolically inventive stories, fables, and "impossible interviews" from one of the great fantasists of the 20th century, displaying the full breadth of his vision and wit. Written between 1943 and 1984 and masterfully translated by Tim Parks, the fictions in Numbers in the Dark display all of Calvino's dazzling gifts: whimsy and horror, exuberance of style, and a cheerful grasp of the absurdities of the human condition.From the Trade Paperback edition.
