Il sentiero dei nidi di ragno è il primo romanzo di Calvino, che alla Resistenza prese parte e volle lasciare memoria di quellesperienza senza cadere né nella retorica, né nelle facili polemiche dei detrattori della lotta partigiana

Literary biography, selected bibliography and links to other writers of like-mind.

Italo Calvino (1923-1985) Journalist, short story writer and novelist, experimental writer whose imaginative fabulations made him one of the most important Italian fiction writers of the 20th century

Calvino's career as a writer spanned nearly four decades

I have tried to remove weight, sometimes from people, sometimes from heavenly bodies, sometimes from cities; above all I have tried to remove weight from the structure of stories and from language." (from Six Memos for the Next Millennium , 1988) Italo Calvino was born in Santiago de las Vegas, Cuba, of Italian parents

(Libra is the 7th sign of the zodiak, operative September 24-October 23; the word for book in Italian is libro.) Calvino moved with his family in Italy in his youth and spent his early years in San Remo

Calvino studied at the University of Turin (1941-47) and Royal University in Florence (1943)

I thought of the expanses of water like this, of the infinite grains of soft sand down there at the bottom of the sea where the currents leave white shells washed clean by the waves." (from 'The Argentine Ant' in Adam, One Afternoon , 1949) After the war Calvino graduated from the University of Turin and worked for the communist periodical L'Unitá in 1945 as a journalist and for Einaudi publishing house from 1948 to 1984

Calvino's Novels, by Gore Vidal
Detailed 1973 review and analysis of the author's works to date by Gore Vidal.

Calvino's Novels by Gore Vidal B etween the end of the Second World War in 1945 and the beginning of the Korean War in 1950, there was a burst of creative activity throughout the American empire as well as in client states of Western Europe

I do remember in 1948 coming across a book by Italo Calvino

Idly, I wondered what a man called Italo Calvino would write about

During the last year, I have read Calvino straight through, starting with the book I only glanced at in 1948, now translated as The Path to the Nest of Spiders

Calvino's first novel is a plainly told, exuberant sort of book

Although the writing is conventional, there is an odd intensity in the way Calvino sees things, a closeness of scrutiny much like that of William Golding

Calvino does the same in the story of Pin, a boy living on the Ligurian coast of Italy, near San Remo (although Calvino was brought up in San Remo, he was actually born in Cuba, a detail given by none of his American publishers; no doubt in deference to our recent attempted conquest of that unfortunate island)

This sort of precise, quasi-scientific observation keeps Calvino from the sort of sentimentality that was prevalent in the forties, when wise children learned compassion from a black mammy as she deep-fried chitlins and Jesus in equal parts south of the Mason-Dixon line
