5.0 out of 5 stars Engrossing and beautiful, Jun 19 2000
By A Customer
This is a charming, lucid, thoughtful work, full of the beauties and difficulties of an observant and reflective life. It is a quietly important work and highly original.

5.0 out of 5 stars A shining work from a master, Oct 24 1999
By Chin-Tser Huang (Columbia, SC USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is about the order of nature and human civilization, about the relationship between science and literature. Mr. Calvino tried his best to show us different ways to observe even the commonest things around us, to describe them in a precise way, and to unearth the hidden truth with contemplation. I really believe he was very successful in doing that.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great description and narrative, but a little bored, April 29 1999
By A Customer
Well, Calvino's work in general is great, but this book is a little bit different of all other, is all Narrated and is a complete description of everything, it's about a man that watch everything wondering why everything goes on, and it bores the reader, if you like description well done so read it, if you like dialog don't read it you won't like it
