About Item: New York, New York, U.S.A.: Pantheon Books, 1995. First American Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Translated from the Italian by Tim Parks. "Written between 1943 and 1984, and masterfully translated by Tim Parks, these several dozen short fictions are whimsical and horrific, feverish and delightful, tragic and wry, sweet and brutal--sometimes alternately, sometimes all at once. Ranging over a panoply of concerns--politics, the nature of power, the implications of a relentless application of technology, the quest for truth, and the elusive possibility of human connection--they are all of them pure Calvino." As new,first edition, first printing, in fine, mylar-protected dust jacket. {Not remainder-marked or price-clipped} L96
