Sinopsis
For Italo Calvino, classics are works of enduring cultural value, yes, but also something much more personal: talismans, touchstones, books through which we understand our world and ourselves. In Why Read the Classics?, Calvino shares thirty-six of his classics in essays of warmth, humor, and striking insight. He ranges from Homer to Borges, from the Persian folklorist Nezami to Dickens, and offers surprising insights along the way. Whether tracing the links between Ovid’s Metamorphoses and Alain Robbe-Grillet’s objectivity, discovering the origins of science fiction in the writings of Cyrano de Bergerac, or convincing us that the Italian novelist Carlo Emilio Gadda’s works are like artichokes, Calvino offers a new perspective on beloved favorites and introduces us to hidden gems.

Sobre ISBNBKS
Hello: Greetings from Oregon. I am a long time on-line bookseller. I buy books in all subjects especially out of print editions. My personal interests are history, military history, American Civil war and western Americana in general. I make a real effort on my descriptions and customer service. Also, I do book searches. Eugene, Oregon if you haven't been here is a very good book town. Have a great day.
