About This Item
Unknown, 1993. Very good. . In these three witty and fantastical stories, Italo Calvino explores the sensory aptitudes of the body in taste, hearing and smell. 'Each story continues Calvino's lifelong campaign to add more territory to the empire of the imagination; each discloses marvels in regions that we presumed exhausted' Time 'In all three stories, intellectual keenness accompanies intense receptiveness to sensuous nuance' Sunday Times
Synopsis
Three senses-taste, hearing, and smell-dominate the lives of the characters in these witty, fantastical stories. But the senses, promising the fulfillment of desire and an exit from the self, only lead back to their source: the savoring palate, the listening ear, the smelling nose. “A sumptuous small gem of a book” (Publishers Weekly). Translated by William Weaver. A Helen and Kurt Wolff Book
