Story
Italo Calvino imagines a novel capable of endless mutations in this intricately crafted story about writing and readers. If on a Winter's Night a Traveler turns out to be not one novel but 10, each with a different plot, style, ambience, and author, and each interrupted at a moment of suspense. Together they form a labyrinth of literatures, known and unknown, alive and extinct, through which two readers, a male and a female, pursue both the story lines that intrigue them and one another.

Story
In a garden sit the aged Kublai Khan and the young Marco Polo—Mongol emperor and Venetian traveler. Kublai Khan has sensed the end of his empire coming soon. Marco Polo diverts his host with stories of the cities he has seen in his travels around the empire: cities and memory, cities and desire, cities and designs, cities and the dead, cities and the sky, trading cities, hidden cities. As Marco Polo unspools his tales, the emperor detects these fantastic places are more than they appear.

Story
Cosimo di Rondo, a young Italian nobleman of the 18th century, rebels against his parents by climbing into the trees and remaining there for the rest of his life. He adapts efficiently to an existence in the forest canopy - he hunts, sows crops, plays games with earthbound friends, fights forest fires, solves engineering problems, and even manages to have love affairs. From his perch in the trees, Cosimo sees the Age of Enlightenment pass by and a new century dawn.

Story
At the time of his death, Italo Calvino was at work on six lectures setting forth the qualities in writing he most valued and which he believed would define literature in the century to come. Here, in Six Memos for the Next Millennium, are the five lectures he completed, forming not only a stirring defense of literature but also an indispensable guide to the writings of Calvino himself. He devotes one "memo" each to the concepts of lightness, quickness, exactitude, visibility, and multiplicity.

Story
In Difficult Loves, Italy's master storyteller weaves tales in which cherished deceptions and illusions of love-including self-love-are swept away in magical instants of recognition. A soldier is reduced to quivering fear by the presence of a full-figured woman in his train compartment; a young clerk leaves a lady's bed at dawn; a young woman is isolated from bathers on a beach by the loss of her bikini bottom. Each of them discovers hidden truths beneath the surface of everyday life.

Mr. Palomar, whose name purposely evokes that of the famous telescope, is a seeker after knowledge, a visionary in a world sublime and ridiculous. Whether contemplating a cheese, a woman's breasts, or a gorilla's behavior, he brings us a vision of a world familiar by consensus, fragmented by the burden of individual perception.

Story
Italo Calvino was not only a prolific master of fiction, he was also an uncanny reader of literature, a keen critic of astonishing range. Why Read the Classics? is the most comprehensive collection of Calvino's literary criticism available in English, accounting for the enduring importance to our lives of crucial writers of the Western canon. Here - spanning more than two millennia, from antiquity to postmodernism - are 36 immediately relevant, accessible ruminations on the writers, poets, and scientists who meant most to Calvino at different stages of his life.

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
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
Un viaggiatore, una piccola stazione, una valigia da consegnare a una misteriosa persona... Da questa premessa si possono snodare innumerevoli vicende, ma sono dieci quelle che l'autore propone in questo sorprendente e godibilissimo romanzo. "È un romanzo sul piacere di leggere romanzi: protagonista è il lettore, che per dieci volte cominica a leggere un libro che per vicissitudini estranee alla sua volontà non riesce a finire. Ho dovuto dunque scrivere l'inizio di dieci romanzi d'autori immaginari, tutti in qualche modo diversi da me e diversi tra loro." (Italo Calvino)

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).
