Cosmicomics

Introducing Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world's greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. Celebrating the range and diversity of Penguin Classics, they take us from snowy Japan to springtime Vienna, from haunted New England to a sun-drenched Mediterranean island, and from a game of chess on the ocean to a love story on the moon. Beautifully designed and printed, these collectible editions are bound in colourful, tactile cloth and stamped with foil. Twelve enchanting and fantastical stories about the evolution of the universe from the giant of Italian literature, Italo Calvino. His characters - whether human, dinosaur or mollusc - disport themselves among galaxies, experience the solidification of planets, move from aquatic to terrestrial existence, play games with hydrogen atoms - and have time for a love life. 'A landmark in fiction, the work of a master' - Ursula K Le Guin

Douze récits dont le héros est vieux comme le monde et en raconte la naissance. Ce qui ne l'empêche pas d'avoir les aventures les plus quotidiennes, depuis le jeu de billes sur la courbure de l'espace jusqu'à la poursuite des parallèles pour rejoindre une plaisante demoiselle, ou jusqu'au tracé du premier signe dans le vide, au bord d'une galaxie.
