Описание: Carlo Scarpa was a virtuoso of light, a master of detail, and a connoisseur of materials. Today he is known as a 20th-century master of architecture. To mark the first centenary of Scarpa's birth, all his works are presented here for the first time. The 250 illustrations cover all 58 of his structures, including the Castelvecchio Museum (Verona), the Olivetti showroom (Venice), and the Brion Tomb in San Vito d'Altivole (Treviso), as well as his important glass designs. The book includes essays by leading architects and architecture critics, offering an extensive overview of Scarpa's life as well as interpretations of his architecture. Known as the "Frank Lloyd Wright of Italy," Scarpa's decorative style has become a model for architects wishing to revive craft and luscious materials in the contemporary manner.

Описание: A couple on a journey across Mexico are excited by the idea of a particular ingredient, suggested by ancient rituals of human sacrifice.

Описание: 'Words connect the visible track to the invisible thing ... like a fragile makeshift bridge cast across the void'With imagination and wit, Italo Calvino sought to define the virtues of the great literature of the past in order to shape the values of the future. His effervescent last works, left unfinished at his death, were the Charles Eliot Norton lectures, which he was due to deliver at Harvard in 1985-86.

These surviving drafts explore the literary concepts closest to his heart: Lightness, Quickness, Multiplicity, Exactitude and Visibility (Constancy was to be the sixth), in serious yet playful essays that reveal his debt to the comic strip and the folktale. This collection, now in a fluent and supple new translation, is a brilliant precis of a great writer whose legacy will endure through the millennium he addressed. Translated by Geoffrey Brock 'The book I give most to people is Six Memos for the Next Millennium' Ali Smith'Wonderful .

Описание: "All that can be done is for each one of us to invent our own ideal library of our classics." --from Why Read the Classics?

Classics, according to Italo Calvino, are not only works of enduring cultural value, but also something much more personal: talismans, touchstones, books through which we understand our world and ourselves. In Why Read the Classics?, Calvino shares over thirty of his classics in essays of warmth, humor, and striking insight. He ranges from Homer to Jorge Luis Borges, from the Persian folklorist Nezami to Charles Dickens. Whether tracing the links between Ovid's Metamorphoses and Alain Robbe-Grillet's objectivity, discovering the origins of science fiction in the writings of Cyrano de Bergerac, or convincing us that the Italian novelist Carlo Emilio Gadda's works are like artichokes, Calvino offers a new perspective on beloved favorites and introduces us to hidden gems.

"This book serves as a welcome reminder that the great works are great because they can mean so much to readers, and Calvino is a most knowledgeable guide to all the best destinations." --San Francisco Chronicle

Описание: Il 24 novembre 1960, a Parigi, in un bistrot della rue du Bac, nasce, per volonta di R. Queneau e F. Le Lionnais, l’Ouvroir de Litterature Potentielle (Oulipo). Non un movimento letterario, ne un laboratorio scientifico ma un gruppo di scrittori e di matematici che si propongono, attraverso un approccio «sistematico» e «scientifico», di rinnovare l’idea di letteratura e apportare nuova linfa vitale a quel dibattito culturale che, in Francia, negli anni Sessanta, rimette in questione il mito surrealista dell’ispirazione e si allontana da un’idea di letteratura engagee di matrice sartriana. Nello stesso periodo, Italo Calvino inizia a frequentare piu assiduamente Parigi e nel 1972 e eletto membre etranger di questo gruppo che, lontano dalla «gravita» della critica italiana, gli offre la possibilita di confrontarsi con una serie di modelli che giocheranno un ruolo fondamentale nella sua opera successiva. A partire da un approfondimento della retorica oulipiana, e attraverso un approccio «oulipocritico» alla produzione letteraria degli anni parigini di Calvino, il presente saggio ricostruisce le tappe fondamentali di questa storia fatta di «destini incrociati».
