Italo Calvino, one of Italy's finest postwar writers, has delighted readers around the world with his deceptively simple, fable-like stories. Calvino was born in Cuba in 1923 and raised in San Remo, Italy; he fought for the Italian Resistance from 1943-45. He died in Siena in 1985, of a brain hemorrhage.
Italo Calvino in Collection of Sand claimed that 'the brain begins in the eye'. The essays collected here display his fascination with the visual universe, in which the things we see tell a truth about the world. With encyclopedic knowledge and engaging curiosity, Calvino writes about such diverse subjects as the imaginative pleasures of maps, bizarre exhibitions and the earliest forms of written language. Books and paintings provoke discussions of artistic motivation, while descriptions of a meticulous Japanese garden, Trajan's column crumbling to dust or a Mexican temple smothered by the jungle lead to contemplations on space, time and civilization.
Surprising and profound, Collection of Sand provides a glimpse into the mind of a master of the magination.

評分這本是微信閱讀隨機推薦給我的,看封麵普普通通,但名字有點意思。我以為是小說,打開纔發現是隨筆集。我著迷地看著伊塔洛·卡爾維諾寫下的博物館見聞,就像第一次意識到這是美洲大陸而非亞洲的意大利人一樣,貪婪地吞食起我從未見過的一切。 作者在本書中提及瞭非常多的書籍,...
