书籍介绍
This collection of playful, deadly fables is populated with waifs and strays, a gluttonous thief and a mischievous gardener. The grimly comic story "The Argentine Ant" moved Gore Vidal to declare 'if this is not a masterpiece of twentieth-century prose writing, I cannot think of anything better'.
用户评论
只读过中文版，非常喜欢。自然毫不造作，人造的虚荣幼稚肤浅。

看的节选翻译本。Theft in a Cakeshop一则很不错，早期卡尔维诺的作品有一些魔幻色彩，更多通过扭曲夸张来表达人的天性。
"This collection of playful, deadly fables is populated with waifs and strays, a gluttonous thief and a mischievous gardener"
喜欢Adam, one afternoon，the enchanted garden，theft in a cakeshop和the argentine ant，俏皮的现实童话或者说是寓言，阿根廷蚂蚁里能读到的东西太多了！
自然的、人性的、狡黠的力量 漫不经心地把做作的、残酷的、刻板的社会击得粉碎——亚当的长发 亚当的花园 亚当的动物 柔软但势不可挡地肆意蔓延 侵入人类空间；小男孩和小女孩在富人的花园里游戏 苍白的主人畏缩在百叶窗后面；打不准枪的猎人怕误伤了温和的牲畜 迟迟不肯开枪射击德国兵；不死的战俘拒绝“营救” 退离叫喊的人群 就从坑底爬到开阔的荒野 想：“生活 是一座地狱 只有极少的时刻发出对古老天堂的召唤”
早期现实主义作品，文本描述细致精确，看起来立即要跳脱。网翻本来，阮一峰译。
