Krátky popis
Italo Calvino's enchanting stories about the evolution of the
universe, with characters that are fashioned from mathematical
formulae and cellular structures, The Complete Cosmicomics is
translated by Martin McLaughlin, Tim Parks and William Weaver in
Penguin Modern Classics.'Naturally, we were all there, - dld Qfwfq
said, - where else could we have been? Nobody knew then that there
could be space. Or time either: what use did we have for time,
packed in there like sardines?' The Cosmicomics tell the story of
the history of the universe, from the big bang, through millennia
and across galaxies. It is witnessed through the eyes of 'cosmic
know-it-all' Qfwfq, an exuberant, chameleon-like figure, who takes
the shape of a dinosaur, a mollusc, a steamer captain and a moon
milk gatherer, among others. This is the first complete edition in
English of Italo Calvino's funny, whimsical and delightful stories,
which blend scientific fact, flights of fancy, parody and wordplay
to show the strangeness and the wonders of the world. Italo Calvino
(1923-1985), one of Italy's finest postwar writers, has delighted
readers around the world with his deceptively simple, fable-like
stories. Calvino was born in Cuba and raised in San Remo, Italy, he
fought for the Italian Resistance from 1943-45. Among his other
works published in Penguin Modern Classics are Italian Folktales,
Hermit in Paris, Into the War, The Path to the Spiders' Nests,
Numbers in the Dark, Six Memos for the Next Millennium and Why Read
