內容簡介
內容簡介 伊塔羅·卡爾維諾，義大利作家。他的奇特和充滿想像的寓言作品使他成為二十世紀最重要的義大利小說家之一。卡爾維諾於一九七三年完成的《馬可瓦多》。你們說的是什麼花？這個花園裏我向來只看到雜草！馬可瓦多知道大家對這位老年女侯爵的意見十分紛歧：有人視她為天使，有人則認為她的小器鬼和自私自利的人。 還有鳥：她從來沒給過鳥一點麵包屑！她招待牠們住：你們覺得這樣還不夠嗎？你們的意思是，就好像她對待蚊子一樣 'The most magically ingenious of the contemporary Italian novelists' The TimesMarcovaldo is an enchanting collection of twenty stories that are both melancholy and funny, farce and fantasy. Calvino charts the struggles of an Italian peasant to reconcile country habits with urban life, combining comical disasters with a surrealistic view of city life through the eyes of an outsider. As always with Calvino, nothing is quite as it seems.
