Oh, not meaning to sound boastful but my lovely husband gave me the complete (except for essays and fairy stories) Calvino in Italian! It's on such fine paper that it fits into two volumes. One of my very favourite possessions.
Oh, wow.
That's all I have to say on the matter, but yes - WOW.


If on a Winters Night a Traveller was the first Calvino I read - pretty much quite by accident - I grabbed it off a bookshelf right before I went travelling because it had the most interesting title, I think. I ADORE it - it's... I just loved reading it.
