【🍄Celebrity reviews and recommendations🍄】
Borges, Márquez and Calvino all dream the most beautiful dreams for us. Among the three, Calvino's is the warmest and brightest.
—John Updike Calvino’s imagination is like a delicate equilibrium of the universe, placed between Voltaire and Leibniz.
—Umberto Ecocalvino taught me that originality is as important as history itself.
- Orhan Pamuk When the end of the world comes, I can't think of a better writer to accompany me than Calvino.
- Rushdie: For a while I seemed to understand him, but then I realized I didn't understand anything because his mind is so complicated. Calvino's books are worth reading over and over again.
——Mo Yan I can’t force everyone to like every one of his books, but I think everyone must like his idea: the art of fiction has infinite possibilities… I haven’t explored the infinity yet, and I’m far behind Calvino.
—Wang Xiaobo Critics are happy to compare Calvino with Nabokov and Borges, but in reality, Calvino's influence is far greater and more enduring. ... Calvino's passing marks the end of pure literature, at least for Western literature.
——Chen Xiaoming [🍄Content Introduction🍄]
This Marcovaldo had a pair of eyes that were not very suitable for city life: signboards, traffic lights, shop windows, rainbow lights, posters, those things designed to attract people's attention, could never retain Marcovaldo's gaze. He looked at these things as if he was scanning the sand in the desert.
As the seasons passed, Marcovaldo used his ingenuity to form wondrous observations of the world. He could interact and play with mushrooms and migratory birds, or lead his children through the consumerist supermarket, lost and sighing. "That snowy morning, it was silence that woke him." This is Calvino's final love poem to the city. Within its lightness and vibrant colors, we discover more to look forward to.
