Calvino Italo; Parks Tim
The Road to San Giovanni
Vintage International 1994. 1st Printing. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. First printing. Page ridges lightly foxed. 1994 Trade Paperback. 150 pp. Translated from the Italian by Tim Parks. This major testament by Italo Calvino is composed of five strikingly elegant "memory exercises" about his life and work. The title piece "The Road to San Giovanni" poignantly evokes his childhood home. "A Cinema-Goer's Autobiography" tells of his adolescence when he was riveted by American films starring Gary Cooper Clark Gable and others. "Memories of a Battle" is at once a reminiscence of his experience in a partisan unit during World War II and a reflection on the roles of real and imagined memories. "La Poubelle Agree" is a Parisian set piece and "From the Opaque" is essentially his writer's credo. Vintage International paperback books

CALVINO (Italo)
Contes populaires italiens - Italie du Nord : Ligurie, Piémont, Lombardie, Vénétie, Trentin, Dalmatie
Au début des années cinquante, à l'instigation de la Radio italienne, Italo Calvino, le plus imaginatif des conteurs, entreprend de constituer, en empruntant aux recueils folkloriques des diverses régions et en les transcrivant à sa manière d'après les patois (et c'est souvent en les écrivant tout bonnement) un ample corpus de fiabe ou contes de fées, plus exactement de contes populaires, car, aux Fées et aux magiciens qui les peuplent ordinairement , s'ajoutent d'autres héros, qui peuvent être aussi bien Jésus-Christ et saint Pierre errant au Frioul ou en Sicile, ou des personnages autochtones, turbulents et burlesques. Il en résulte plus de deux cents récits, et c'est un ouvrage singulier, captivant pour les adultes non moins que pour les enfants qui figure désormais aux programmes scolaires italiens pour la richesse de son contenu aussi bien poétique qu'ethnographique et social.
