Drawing on his letters, essays, critical reviews, and fiction, as well as a wide range of works--primarily urban planning and design theory and history--circulating among his primary interlocutors, this book takes as its point of departure a sweeping reinterpretation of Invisible Cities. Passages from Calvino's most famous novel routinely appear as aphorisms in calendars, posters, and the popular literature of inspiration and self-help, rRoutledge studies in twentieth-century literature ;17.Electronic books.853/.914Modena Letizia.907717FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910461290403321Italo Calvino's architecture of lightness2030477UNINA
