The first complete English-language edition of Calvino's early short story collection. These early short stories brim with the beauty of the Italian countryside and seaside, telling tales both sumptuous and unnerving. Calvino's war-torn Italy is vivid, intense, almost hyper-real. A trio of greedy burglars rob a pastry shop, a boy offers a girl presents of toads and insects from the garden, a wealthy family invites a rustic goatherd to lunch, only to mock him. In every story he reveals the hidden meaning beneath the surface of everyday life, and the ludicrousness of war. Some stories from La Last Comes the Raven - Italo Calvino od authora Italo Calvino a nakladatelství za skvělé ceny na e-shopu Martinus. cz.
