Story
Nella guerra tra Austria e Turchia del 1716, il visconte Medardo di Terralba viene colpito da una cannonata turca in pieno petto e torna a casa dimezzato. Questo truculento inizio dà l'avvio a una fiaba cadenzata come un balletto, nella quale attorno al mezzo-visconte si muovono e s'affannano sudditi più dimezzati di lui. È una fantasia paga del fuoco di fila delle sue trovate, questa di Calvino, o una pensosa allegoria della condizione dell'uomo contemporaneo sempre "alienato", mutilato, impossibilitato a raggiungere l'integrità, la completezza?

Nate come testi per un ciclo di conferenze da tenere ad Harvard queste lezioni costituiscono l'ultimo insegnamento di un grande maestro: una severa disciplina della mente, temperata dall'ironia e dalla consapevolezza di non poter giungere ad una conoscenza assoluta. Presentazione di Esther Calvino e postfazione di Giorgio Manganelli.

Story
Blending reality and illusion with elegance and precision, the stories in this collection - one of Calvino’s earliest - take place in a World War II era and postwar Italy tinged with the visionary and fablelike qualities that would come to define this master storyteller’s later style. A trio of gluttonous burglars invade a pastry shop; two children trespass upon a forbidden garden; a wealthy family invites a rustic goatherd to lunch, only to mock him.

Story
Personaggio buffo e melanconico, Marcovaldo è il protagonista d'una serie di favole moderne, dove Italo Calvino va segnando avvenimenti impercettibili nella vita di una grande città industriale. Partite come divagazioni comico-poetiche sul tema della più elementare lotta per la vita, le venti favole di Marcovaldo arrivano alla rappresentazione della più complicata realtà d’oggi, alla satira del "miracolo economico" e della "civiltà del consumo"; ma sempre restano fedeli a una classica struttura narrativa: quella delle storielle a vignette dei giornalini per l'infanzia.

Story
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. Here are speculative stories on life in the digital age, genre-bending wonders, and “impossible interviews” with the likes of Montezuma and a Neanderthal.

Story
Italo Calvino was only 23 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. He lives with his sister, a prostitute, and spends as much time as he can at a seedy bar where he amuses the adult patrons. 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.

Story
"Il racconto fantastico è una delle produzioni più caratteristiche della narrativa dell'Ottocento, e una delle più significative per noi. Alla nostra sensibilità d'oggi l'elemento soprannaturale al centro di questi intrecci appare sempre carico di senso, come l'insorgere dell'inconscio, del represso, del dimenticato, dell'allontanato dalla nostra attenzione razionale. In ciò va vista la modernità del fantastico, la ragione del suo ritorno di fortuna nella nostra epoca."

"Il protagonista di questo libro si chiama Qfwfq. Altro non si sa, non è nemmeno detto che sia un uomo... Quanti anni ha? Dato che non c'è avvenimento di milioni o miliardi di anni fa cui non abbia assistito, si deve calcolare che ha più o meno l'età dell'universo. Basta che il discorso tocchi di sfuggita l'accensione delle galassie o l'estinzione dei dinosauri, la formazione del sistema solare o i cataclismi geologici, ed eccolo saltar su a raccontare che c'era anche lui."

Story
"Gli amori difficili: definizione ironica, certo, perché dove d'amore - o di amori - si tratta, le difficoltà restano molto relative. O almeno, ciò che sta alla base di molte di queste storie è una difficoltà di comunicazione, una zona di silenzio al fondo dei rapporti umani. Se queste sono, per la più parte, storie di come una coppia non s'incontra, nel loro non incontrarsi l'autore sembra far consistere non solo una ragione di disperazione ma pure un elemento fondamentale - se non addirittura l'essenza stessa - del rapporto amoroso" (Italo Calvino).

Story
"Le donne, i cavallier, l'arme, gli amori" cantati da Italo Calvino, con la sua lettura chiara, appassionata e lucida di un classico della nostra letteratura. Calvino propone una ricca scelta di strofe non rispettando la divisione in canti, ma seguendo le vicende dei singoli personaggi. Si alternano perciò parti di commento, narrazione, quasi di anticipazione, a versi del testo originale, in un vero "racconto" in cui sembra quasi di sentire la voce.

Story
These three stories, set during the summer of 1940, draw on Italo Calvino's memories of his own adolescence during the Second World War, too young to be forced to fight in Mussolini's army but old enough to be conscripted into the Italian youth brigades. The callow narrator of these tales observes the mounting unease of a city girding itself for war, the looting of an occupied French town, and nighttime revels during a blackout. Appearing here in its first English translation, Into the War is one of Calvino's only works of autobiographical fiction.

Story
"Il leggere per la prima volta un grande libro in età matura è un piacere straordinario: diverso rispetto a quello d'averlo letto in gioventù. La gioventù comunica alla lettura come a ogni altra esperienza un particolare sapore e una particolare importanza; mentre in maturità si apprezzano molti dettagli e livelli e significati in più. Ci dovrebbe essere un tempo nella vita adulta dedicato a rivisitare le letture più importanti della gioventù. Se i libri sono rimasti gli stessi noi siamo certamente cambiati, e l'incontro è un avvenimento del tutto nuovo." (L'autore).

"...preferisco dividere la materia in tre parti, per mettere in evidenza tre linee tematiche del mio lavoro di quegli anni. La prima è il racconto 'della Resistenza' (o comunque di guerra o violenza) visto come avventura di suspense o di terrore, un tipo di narrativa che eravamo in parecchi a fare a quell'epoca. La seconda linea è pure comune a molta narrativa di quegli anni, ed è il racconto picaresco del dopoguerra, storie colorate di personaggi e appetiti elementari.

Story
In five elegant autobiographical meditations Calvino delves into his past, remembering awkward childhood walks with his father, a lifelong obsession with the cinema, and fighting in the Italian Resistance against the Fascists. He also muses on the social contracts, language, and sensations associated with emptying the kitchen rubbish and the shape he would, if asked, consider the world. These reflections on the nature of memory itself are engaging, witty, and lit through with Calvino's alchemical brilliance.

Dr. Peterson guides us through the ancient, foundational stories of the Western world. In riveting detail, he analyzes the Biblical accounts of rebellion, sacrifice, suffering, and triumph that stabilize, inspire, and unite us culturally and psychologically. Adam and Eve and the eternal fall of mankind; the resentful and ultimately murderous war of Cain and Abel; the cataclysmic flood of Noah; the spectacular collapse of the Tower of Babel; Abraham’s terrible adventure; and the epic of Moses and the Israelites.

When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.
