柯西莫。树上的男爵。卡尔维诺
Baron in the tree. By Italo Calvino(Italy)
A rebellious Italian nobleman reacted against his father’s authoritarianism and the injustice of being forced to eat macabre dishes – beheaded snails among them , preparared by his diabolical sister Battista. He climbed a tree and never came down.12 year old Cosimo Piavosco di Rondo spends the rest of his considerably long life in the trees.This 1957 book is one of my all time fiction favorites. Is one of Calvino’s most charming and whimsical stories, but it is also touched with poignancy and sadness, a mixture at which Calvino expelled. Imaginative,captivating and wonderfully human. Fantastic in the sense that all disbelief is suspended in a way rarely sensed since childhood.
半年前正疯狂地大量阅读卡尔维诺的小说,还执意地偏要阅读英语版(因为自己不懂意大利语,只好退而求其次,阅读英语版)纵然也是被翻译的,但也总算是透过另一种外语让自己有进修的机会,于是看玩之后就试着用极有限的英语能力,试写一篇简单的介绍.(看玩之后,再加上之前阅读的Hundred years of solitude”,觉得久违不用的英语,的确有慢慢一点一滴地倒流回小小的脑袋里,总算也有点小进步.)
**今天无意间从日记手扎里翻阅到,就决定贴上来.
