Carte: Italo Calvino – Orasele invizibile

Posted on November 30, 2011 by admin

Greu de categorisit o carte cum este ‘Orasele invizibile’ a lui Italo Calvino. Structura exterioara aduce cu cea a colectiilor de povestiri orientale, cele ‘1001 de nopti’ vin imediat in minte la lectura dialogurilor intre hanul mongol Kubilai Han si … Continue reading →
