Mo Yan and Wang Xiaobo praised! Calvino's "Ten Years of Sharpening a Sword" work follows the day of a scrutineer at the Turin election station, focusing on the absurd reality and criticizing the absurdity of reality. During the 1953 elections, Olmea was appointed as a scrutineer at a polling station in Turin. In order to win votes, rival parties ushered hordes of disabled people to the polls: amidst barking, laughing, and hideous deformities of all kinds, they collected the votes of bedridden patients. Olmea watched and reflected, and he wanted to turn the tide... In "The Observer", which came out in 1963, Calvino cut into today's life without hesitation and asked penetrating questions about life. Calvino is no longer a writer who criticizes uncertainty personally and psychologically, but a writer who describes the objective existence of this uncertainty in reality: the essence of this reality is difficult to explore.

This series selects representative works of Calvino's works that have both literary value and reader reputation, including "The Invisible City", "The Non-Existent Knight", "The Viscount in Two", "The Baron in the Trees" and "Marcovaldo". Italo Calvino is the most influential contemporary Italian writer in the world. His works have had a huge impact on the art of modern fiction with his unique and exquisite conception and profound and timeless way of thinking. Although he missed out on the Nobel Prize for Literature due to sudden death, he enjoyed the reputation of "writers' writers" together with Borges and became the idol of many world literature lovers. In this collection of works, the "Our Ancestors" trilogy has reached astonishing artistic heights and ideological depth, and was called "a model of lightness" by Wang Xiaobo. Mo Yan said that this series has influenced a generation of Chinese writers; "Invisible Cities" is Calvino's most famous work and is considered to be the ultimate presentation of Calvino's imagination...

This novel is simply intended to be evidence of how one of those who began his own literary experiment in 1945, then and now, has followed the fantasy of capturing a smell, a flash, a creak, a tone of life. A difficult idyll, a difficult memory, a difficult love, a difficult life. In these four volumes of short stories, Calvino lets his stories speak for themselves, keeping silent about what we expect, leaving us alone to resolve our hesitations, to listen to the endless rhythm of life, and to explore the hidden laws of the universe.

On the battlefield in the Middle Ages, Viscount Medardo leaped on his horse and drew his sword, but was blasted in half by a Turkish cannon. A complete man is thus divided into half a villain and half a saint. The Viscount said: "Not only am I torn and incomplete, but you are too, and everyone is." Every encounter between two creatures in the world is a fight between each other, and people experience the "complete" world in the fierce battle with themselves. Although the two-half Viscount Medardo eventually returned to being a whole person, it was clear that without that split, just one whole Viscount was not enough to make the world whole.

Because of Calvino, "Italian Fairy Tales" can become a classic comparable to "Andersen's Fairy Tales" and "Grimm's Fairy Tales". And Calvino, who single-handedly created this miracle, what are the basic rules and paradigms of classic fairy tales in his eyes? "On Fairy Tales" is Calvino's comprehensive summary of the work of writing Italian fairy tales, and it is also a love poem he dedicated to the world's fairy tales. Calvino studied fairy tales from all over the world and absorbed their wonder, simplicity, fun and morals into the arrangement and rewriting of Italian fairy tales. He is the well-deserved "Father of Italian Fairy Tales".

Twelve-year-old Cosimo angrily left home and lived in a tree because he couldn't stand the snail meal cooked by his sister. From then on, his feet never set foot on the ground again: he read, hunted, put out fires, fought against pirates, and even fell in love and wrote in the trees. His tombstone is inscribed: "Living in the trees - always loving the earth - rising into the sky." Part one of the trilogy "Our Ancestors", including Calvino's own postscript: In "The Baron in the Trees" there is a path to wholeness - a non-individualistic wholeness achieved through unswerving efforts to make one's own choices.
