Hard Cover. First Edition. Near Fine in a Fine dustjacket. Maroon boards quarterbound in maroon cloth. The spine is stamped in silver. 290pps. First Printing. The only flaw is a remainder mark on the bottom of the textblock. It is, otherwise, clean, tight, square, and bright. All tips are sharp. The text is immaculate; no readin…g wear and no previous ownership markings. The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, has a touch of crinkling at the head of the spine; no chips, soiling, or tears. The original price is intact. ".Who but Italo Calvino could blend realism and illusion to capture so precisely and so elegantly these moments in the lives of ordinary people? A theft in a pastry shop, a frenzied evening in a tavern, a young soldier caught up in a private fantasy of seduction, a middle-class woman who discovers while swimming that she has lost the lower part of her bikini -- all are transformed by Calvino's consummate artistry into stories that brilliantly explore intricate interior worlds. In these classics of the 1940s and 1950s, Calvino depicts instants of recognition and alarm, when cherished deceptions and illusions of love -- frequently self-love -- are stripped away." Purchase with confidence: all books, gradings, and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile. Satisfaction guaranteed or all costs you've incurred will be promptly refunded.
