Originally published in 1979, Italo Calvino's singular experimental novel crafted a postmodern narrative like never seen before--offering not one novel but ten, each with a different plot, style, ambience, and author, and each interrupted at a moment of suspense. Together, the stories form a labyrinth of literature known and unknown, alive and extinct, through which two readers--in a truly unique work of metafiction--pursue the story lines that intrigue them and try to read each other. Deeply profound and surprisingly romantic, this classic is a beautiful meditation on the transformative power of reading and the ways we make meaning in our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Calvino is a wizard...There is no halting [this book's] metamorphoses.\" \u003ci\u003e--New York Times Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 7.9 x 5.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 20, 1982\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53057859715296,"sku":"9780156439619","price":21.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/5909\/4496\/files\/2e4u5THhIN9780156439619.webp?v=1781384330","url":"https:\/\/improvedinc.myshopify.com\/products\/if-on-a-winters-night-a-traveler-paperback","provider":"Improved Improper Input Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
