Why Read the Classics?
Sinopsis :
This collection of essays by the acclaimed author of
Cosmicomics offers a fascinating, personal journey through
some of literature’sgreatest works. Classics, according
to Italo Calvino, are not only works of enduring cultural value,
but also personal touchstones. They are the books we are
always rereading in order to understand our world and
ourselves. Here, Calvino introduces more than thirty works
from his own ideal library in essays of warmth, humor, and
striking insight. He discusses great authors ranging from
Homer to Jorge Luis Borges, and from Charles Dickens to the
Persian folklorist Nezami. Whether tracing the links between
Ovid’sMetamorphoses and Alain Robbe-
Grillet’sobjectivity, discovering the origins of science
fiction in the writings of Cyrano de Bergerac, or convincing us
that the Italian novelist Carlo Emilio Gadda’sworks are
like artichokes, Calvino offers a new perspective on beloved
favorites and introduces us to hidden gems. “Ths book
serves as a welcome reminder that the great works are great
because they can mean so much to readers, and Calvino is a
most knowledgeable guide to all the best
destinations.”#8212San Francisco Chronicle
