Available from these sellers.

Book Description

Publication Date: 1981

This boxed paperback set includes three of Italian author Italo Calvino's best-known works: Invisible Cities - A beautifully written book in which the young Marco Polo sits in a garden with the aged Kublai Khan, weaving fantastic tales about cities that merge into one. If on a Winter's Night a Traveler - a collection of ten stories that weave themselves into one incredible novel. The Baron in the Trees - A fantasy set in the 18th Century about a young Italian nobleman who rebels against parental authority by climbing into the trees, where he remains for the rest of his life. Calivino's style has been described, by turns, as light fantasy, postmodern, and magical realist. Whatever his style, these stories, translated from the Italian by William Weaver, are to be savored and enjoyed.
