Imaginary conversations between Marco Polo and his host, the Chinese ruler Kublai Khan, conjure up cities of magical times.
A beautiful tale of all cities and one city. I feel as though I live in one of them though (spoiler alert) Venice is a wonderful punch line.
One of the most profound and inspired literary examinations of the city: its possibilities and how we might read, understand and imagine it.
看不见的城市
伊塔洛·卡尔维诺
关于城市最深刻、最具启发的文学探索:城市的可能性,以及我们应从何开始解读、认识和想象它。
A lovely insight into the imagination’s role in the image of the city.
While today’s oftentimes banal cities multiply and grow at dizzying rates, this book becomes all the more relevant for helping us imagine their untapped potential.
An endlessly permutational book, as well as the most appropriate use of the typeface Buster in print; the first English edition of Invisible Cities makes the font look like a bespoke creation for this very volume.
Calvino and the entire Oulipo Group are engaged in fundamental issues of architecture. Invisible Cities opens up poetic views to an imaginary urbanity.
I read Invisible Cities and Ficciones as a young student. Both authors immerse themselves into fantastic and supernatural places, always of import.
