Présentation de l'éditeur:
From the internationally-acclaimed author of some of this century's most breathtakingly original novels comes this posthumous collection of thirty-six literary essays that will make any fortunate reader view the old classics in a dazzling new light.
Learn why Lara, not Zhivago, is the center of Pasternak's masterpiece, Dr. Zhivago, and why Cyrano de Bergerac is the forerunner of modern-day science-fiction writers. Learn how many odysseys The Odyssey contains, and why Hemingway's Nick Adams stories are a pinnacle of twentieth-century literature. From Ovid to Pavese, Xenophon to Dickens, Galileo to Gadda, Calvino covers the classics he has loved most with essays that are fresh, accessible, and wise. Why Read the Classics? firmly establishes Calvino among the rare likes of Nabokov, Borges, and Lawrence--writers whose criticism is as vibrant and unique as their groundbreaking fiction.

Vendeur : Crappy Old Books, Barry, Royaume-Uni
Paperback. Etat : As New. Why Read the Classics (2000) by Italo Calvino ? Vintage Books Offered by Crappy Old Books Crack open this gloriously dog-eared gem from Vintage Books, where Italo Calvino?literary wizard and unapologetic book nerd?makes a case for the dusty tomes you keep meaning to read. In Why Read the Classics , Calvino doesn?t just tell you why old books matter?he seduces you into believing they?re the most vital thing you?ll ever touch. With wit, intellect, and more than a little charm, he dives into everyone from Homer to Hemingway, reminding us that ?classic? doesn?t mean boring, it means eternally relevant . This particular copy from Crappy Old Books has seen better days?but then again, so have the classics. Dog-eared, possibly underlined by someone with strong opinions and poor penmanship, and carrying just the faintest aroma of forgotten bookshelves, it?s perfect for those who love their literature with a bit of mileage. Great for fans of smart essays, literary nostalgia, and philosophical bookshelf guilt. Come for the Calvino, stay for the sense of cultural superiority. Near new condition. N° de réf. du vendeur 3992
