Compiled by Italo Calvino, one of the essential writers of the twentieth century (and editor of the best-selling Italian Folktales), Fantastic Tales is a rich and wide-ranging collection of twenty-six classic, uncanny tales from the nineteenth century written by an intriguing panoply of European and American authors. Master storyteller himself, Calvino has contributed an informative introduction to the collection, and an engaging précis to each story.
As Calvino writes in Fantastic Tales, which traces the genre from its roots in German Romanticism to the ghost stories of Henry James: "The fantastic tale is one of the most characteristic products of nineteenth-century narrative. For us, it is also one of the most significant. . . . As it relates to our sensibility today, the supernatural element at the heart of these stories always appears freighted with meaning, like the revolt of the unconscious, the repressed, the forgotten. . . . In this we see the modern dimension of the fantastic, the reason for its triumphant resurgence in our times."
Fantastic Tales is a fantastically canonical anthology assembled by an editor who, in the words of Salman Rushdie, "possesses the power of seeing into the deepest recesses of human minds and then bringing their dreams back to life. "
Italo Calvino's works include The Road to San Giovanni, Numbers in the Dark, Six Memos for the Next Millennium, The Baron in the Trees, If On a Winter's Night a Traveler, Invisible Cities, and Mr. Palomar. Calvino died in 1985.

作為一個齣版社編輯,我想說兩句。這兩年,隨著紙價的飆漲,以及各大網絡賣書平颱瘋狂的打摺讓利活動,讓齣版社不堪重負,於是圖書定價的隨之節節攀升也成為必然的趨勢。在得知《怪誕故事集》齣版之時,我是很興奮的,但拿到書的那一刻,感到失落。首先,這本書定價79元,79元...
評分我接觸的第一部西方怪誕文學是布爾加科夫的《大師與瑪格麗特》當時驚為天人,幾乎到瞭邊讀邊叫好的程度,用怪誕詭異驚悚情節和氛圍錶達齣對當局的諷刺,用王小波的話說是非常的直露瞭,自然也遭禁多年。而《浮士德》是那之後很久纔讀的,說實話看得不是很懂,所以也沒有太多的...
評分 評分“旁門左道”小說大全 如果你讀膩瞭正統經典文學,你一定要嘗試這本書。卡爾維諾以他驚人的閱讀量和對經典作品的敏感湊齣瞭這本書。即使是非文學專業的我,都能感受到這本書的重量: 剋蘇魯神話,恐怖文學和奇詭文學的開山鼻祖----愛倫坡 諷刺小說三巨頭之一----莫泊桑 科幻文...
評分卡爾維諾選擇瞭西方幾十個怪誕類故事、作總序、為每篇寫導讀,編瞭這本書。 讀完全書有兩個感想:一,卡爾維諾閱讀量太驚人。二,把作品放在一個更長的時間裏來看,就算在信息流通不暢的19世紀,好作品也幾乎不會被埋沒。僅從這本選集看,大傢耳熟能詳的作傢,真的就是寫得最好...
