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.

A group of travellers chance to meet, first in a castle, then a tavern. Their powers of speech are magically taken from them and instead they have only tarot cards with which to tell their stories.

Story
These intoxicating stories delve down to the core of our senses of taste, hearing, and smell. Amid the flavors of Mexico's fiery chiles and spices, a couple on holiday discovers dark truths about the maturing of desire in the title story, "Under the Jaguar Sun". In "A King Listens", a gripping portrait of a frenzied mind, the menacing echoes in a huge palace spur a tyrant's thoughts to the heights of paranoid intensity. "The Name, the Nose" drives to a startling conclusion as men across time and space pursue the women whose aromas have enchanted them.

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
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
"Che cos'è oggi la città per noi? Penso d'aver scritto qualcosa come un ultimo poema d'amore alle città, nel momento in cui diventa sempre più difficile viverle come città."(Da una conferenza di Calvino tenuta a New York nel 1983)
Città reali scomposte e trasformate in chiave onirica, e città diaboliche e surreali che diventano archetipi moderni di un testo narrativo altamente poetico.-

Story
"Sono nato nel segno della Bilancia: perciò nel mio carattere equilibrio e squilibrio correggono a vicenda i loro eccessi. Sono nato mentre i miei genitori stavano per tornare in patria dopo anni passati nei Caraibi: da ciò l'instabilità geografica che mi fa continuamente desiderare un altrove. Il sapere dei miei genitori convergeva sul regno vegetale, le sue meraviglie e virtù. Io, attratto da un'altra vegetazione, quella delle frasi scritte, voltai le spalle a quanto essi m'avrebbero potuto insegnare; ma la sapienza dell'umano mi restò ugualmente estranea." (Italo Calvino)

Story
"I temi che tocco con 'La giornata d'uno scrutatore', quello della infelicità di natura, del dolore, la responsabilità della procreazione, non avevo mai osato sfiorarli prima d'ora. Non dico ora di aver fatto più che sfiorarli; ma già l'ammettere la loro esistenza, il sapere che si deve tenerne conto, cambia molto le cose". (Dalla presentazione scritta da Calvino nel 1963) L'attività di scrutatore in un seggio elettorale diventa per il protagonista l'occasione per meditare su se stesso e sulla follia del mondo.

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).
