5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, Sep 2 2001
Calvino is a genius. I read most of his books and all are differents in style, thematic, lenght, etc; but all are similar in quality, humanity and sensibility.

This one is a collection of stories where love is only a component, an important one but not the only (as in real life). Even is not the usual love that it is important here. Reaction to love, moments before love, lonely love are the esential components of these stories.

Calvino knows that it is not possible write about love, we can only describe the environment of love, but not LOVE. But when you are able to write about it with the class of Calvino, you do not need anymore.

Excellent, excellent and excellent

5.0 out of 5 stars A true book of experiences, May 13 1998
By A Customer
Life is about stories. Italo Calvino has (had) a true ability to bring you "into the detail" of life. The stories are set before you to experience yourself. Many stories which we long for in our own lives, many which we would never wish to know.

This book enables you to feel the soil, smell the sea, sense the fear...the details that not so many other authors can bring to you.
