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\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0156439611\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780156439619\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Calvino, Italo\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Mariner Books Classics\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mariner Books Classics","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Oct 1982)","offer_id":45937610653893,"sku":"9780156439619","price":18.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780156439619_ec29ee25-c7f2-4132-b826-3d946b0f0e10.jpg?v=1772881102","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/if-on-a-winters-night-a-traveler","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
