Italo Calvino's superb storytelling gifts earned him international renown and a reputation as "one of the world's best fabulists" (New York Times Book Review). He is the author of numerous works of fiction, as well as essays, criticism, and literary anthologies. Born in Cuba in 1923, Calvino was raised in Italy, where he lived most of his life. At the time of his death, in Siena in 1985, he was the most-translated contemporary Italian writer.
Italo Calvino was not only a prolific master of fiction, he was also an uncanny reader of literature. Why Read the Classics? is the most comprehensive collection of Calvino's literary criticism available in English, accounting for the enduring importance to our lives of crucial writers of the Western canon. Here - spanning more than two millennia, from antiquity to postmodernism - are thirty-six ruminations on the writers, poets, and scientists who meant most to Calvino at different stages of his life.
读这本书并不是真的要弄清楚读经典的理由——事实上,对于包括我在内的很多人来说,读经典需要的不是一个理由来支撑,而是捧起他们的决心和坚持下去的毅力。 卡尔维诺在这本书中述说了他对几十位经典作家/作品的看法,你可以将它视为一本书评的小集子。在这些作家作品中,有的...
评分1 我知道卡尔维诺时间比较晚。1995年采访王小波时,我有个问题是“《黄金时代》写了多长时间?”在回答这个问题时,王小波说到他喜欢的作家和作品。有杜拉斯的《情人》,杜伦马特的《法官和他的刽子手》,尤瑟纳尔的《一弹解千愁》,君特-格拉斯的《猫与鼠》和卡尔维诺的《分成...
评分沉下去是为了浮上来 ——为读经典而作 在金色的波浪中,在玫瑰色的天空下,我就像一只小虾,或更像一只小鸟,在她的脚下嬉戏,她具有一如泉水般清澈透明的魅力,更有一种叫人无法抗拒的诱...
评分去年买的《卡尔维诺文集》里没有收这一本书。为什么读经典呢。读了三五年闲书,自己已有答案。 经典,在我看来就是那些产生它的时代已然消失而它依然鲜活的造物。 我读的第一部经典,是《静静的顿河》,是从学校的一个老职员自办的图书室里借的,每天读五十页,起先有点闷,...
评分过节在家,带的是最近译林出版的《为什么读经典》。译林的老版的一套《卡尔维诺全集》,我当时是全数集齐了的,这次出了新版,用了色彩鲜艳的新封面设计。虽然我不喜欢精装版,但还是喜欢老版的用卡尔维诺的照片作封面,卡的眼神又狡黠又严肃,又深邃又有点嘲讽。 可巧这一期...

评分對我來說這本書的重中之中並不是Calvino對他所選擇的那些經典的評論,因為它們中的一大部份我一無所知,最多知道個名字。但是本書的第一章卻是至關重要,乃至萬分後悔直到這個年齡才接觸到這本書。<Why Read the Classics?> 像是浩瀚書海中的燈塔,指明了一個方向。Classics在Calvino的定義下不僅僅限於大眾所知曉的經典,而是更加Personalise, 強調了個人對某本特定的書的感覺,或許有着強烈的共鳴,能夠多次地閱讀,每次閱讀都有不同的發現... 除了要閱讀那些眾所周知的Classic, 還需要列出自己的Classic List.
