"Italo Calvino regarded by many as the greatest master of Italian fiction in this century first published this work in 1972 as Le citta invisibili. A tale mixing fantasy reality and philosophy it recounts a long conversation between a young Marco Polo and an aging Kublai Khan. The book was lauded by Gore Vidal as more than a novel more like a "meditation or poem" and "perhaps his Calvino's most beautiful work". William Weaver who translated it from the Italian into English considers that among his translations "it is the one I reread with the most pleasure". <br/><br/>With artwork by Wayne Thiebaud b. 1920 an American painter associated with the Pop Art movement who is known for among other things his urban and landscape paintings drawing influence from artists like Richard Diebenkorn and Edward Hopper. With a career that has spanned decades Thiebaud is one of America's most prominent contemporary artists.<br/><br/>For this work Thiebaud contributed twelve drawings with the idea that the images of cities and objects remain invisible until the reader takes action. To realize this concept Andrew Hoyem designed the book with the drawings printed on clear plastic in different colors of inks each matching the color of the following sheet. The images are revealed only when the transparent sheet is turned back onto the preceding page a white sheet with printed text." <br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Bound in an anodized aluminum ring binding with U-posts back cover supports four U-posts lid has four slots through which the U-posts rise and a locking pin of aluminum rod slips through the hoops securing lid to base mylar endpapers 12 illustrations monotype and hand-set Veronese type both colored and white Italian Tiziano mould-made Fabriano paper folio 14" x 12" 164 pp. limited to 400 numered copies for sale this being number 147 26 lettered copies were printed for private distribution signed by the artist.

19942287918Vintage International 1994. 1st Printing. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. First printing. Page ridges lightly foxed. 1994 Trade Paperback. 150 pp. Translated from the Italian by Tim Parks. This major testament by Italo Calvino is composed of five strikingly elegant "memory exercises" about his life and work. The title piece "The Road to San Giovanni" poignantly evokes his childhood home. "A Cinema-Goer's Autobiography" tells of his adolescence when he was riveted by American films starring Gary Cooper Clark Gable and others. "Memories of a Battle" is at once a reminiscence of his experience in a partisan unit during World War II and a reflection on the roles of real and imagined memories. "La Poubelle Agree" is a Parisian set piece and "From the Opaque" is essentially his writer's credo. Vintage International paperback books
