內容介紹
除了卡爾維諾還有誰能如此準確和優美的捕捉普通人生活中的一個個瞬間，並將現實和幻想熔於一爐？一個麵包店裡的小偷，一個小酒館裡的狂熱夜晚，一個陷入性幻想的年輕士兵，一個游泳時發現比基尼泳衣掉了下半截的中產階級婦女--所有這些都被卡爾維諾的如花妙筆寫成了一篇篇傑出探索人類內部複雜世界的小說。在這些二十世紀四五十年代的傑作中，卡爾維諾描寫了當對愛的自我欺騙和幻覺（經常是自我戀愛）被揭破時，那些覺悟和警醒的瞬間。Harcourt Brace Jovanovich1983年英語第一版，William Weaver， Archivald Colquhoun， 和Peggy Wright翻譯。Who but Italo Calvino could blend realism and illusion to capture so precisely and so elegantly these moments in the lives of ordinary people? A theft in a pastry shop, a frenzied evening in a tavern, a young soldier caught up in a private fantasy of seduction, a middle-class woman who discovers while swimming that she has lost the lower part of her bikini—all are transformed by Calvino's consummate artistry into stories that brilliantly explore intricate interior worlds. In these classics of the 1940s and 1950s, Calvino depicts instants of recognition and alarm, when cherished deceptions and illusions of love—frequently self-love—are stripped away. Published by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1983. Translated by William Weaver, Archivald Colquhoun, and Peggy Wright.
