Welcome to Litsy!

Currently reading an Italian classic. This edition has some fantastic artworks! #italian#classic#booklover#artworks#book#Calvino

1. I think it was The Path to the Spiders‘ Nests by Italo Calvino.
2. Unfortunately, no. I can only read English.

Here I am reading Calvino's preface to his first novel, and pages later I keep returning to the same sentence because there is something of truth in it that tugs at me.

"But when you are young every new book you read is like a new eye which opens on to the world and which modifies the viewpoint of the other eyes or book-eyes which you had before..."

I've finished the tagged book, Clear Horizon (in Pilgrimage), Song of Solomon, Grief Is the Thing with Feathers, Faces and Masks.

I am, of course, still reading the rest of Pilgrimage, Century of the Wind, and Anniversaries. I'm also reading Her Body and Other Parties.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Pin is a little 💩 but somehow manages to be an endearing one. 😂 Some of his antics ended up making this book much funnier than I had expected it to be. I loved the writing, and the excellent preface (also written by Calvino) had me sold on the book before I‘d even truly started it.

One of my friends gifted me this book along with two other books by Calvino and now I‘m even more excited to get to them.

hello. it's been a while.

Fantastic book from the Italian writer Italo Calvino. Must read it to understand the beauty behind!

My first Calvino and I wasn't really captured by the story or the characters. The beginning and the end, however, made up for the middle part, which I think was pretty boring. #1001books

A new-to-me book store in the middle of Angloland, that actually carries books in French! Bought two. So excited!
