Introducing Little Clothbound Classics- irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world' s greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. Twelve enchanting and fantastical stories about the evolution of the universe from the giant of Italian literature, Italo Calvino. His characters - whether human, dinosaur or mollusc - disport themselves among galaxies, experience the solidification of planets, move from aquatic to terrestrial existence, play games with hydrogen atoms - and have time for a love life.
If you have never read Cosmicomics, you have before you the most joyful reading experience of your life -- Salman Rushdie A landmark in fiction, the work of a master -- Ursula K Le Guin
Italo Calvino, one of Italy' s finest postwar writers, has delighted readers around the world with his deceptively simple, fable-like stories. Calvino was born in Cuba in 1923 and raised in San Remo, Italy; he fought for the Italian Resistance from 1943-45. His major works include Cosmicomics (1968), Invisible Cities (1972), and If on a winter' s night a traveler (1979). He died in Siena in 1985.
