Under the Jaguar Sun（ISBN=） 英文原版

‘The pleasure of these stories is intense: the flexibility and
range of Calvino’s imagination bring to them a kind of organic
perfection as though they had not been written by a man but rather
grown of their own accord’ Sunday Telegraph

Three senses-taste, hearing, and smell-dominate the lives of the
characters in these witty, fantastical stories. But the senses,
promising the fulfillment of desire and an exit from the self, only
lead back to their source: the savoring palate, the listening ear,
the smelling nose. “A sumptuous small gem of a book” (Publishers
Weekly). Translated by William Weaver. A Helen and Kurt Wolff
Book

Italo Calvino, one of Italy’s finest postwar writers, has
delighted readers around the world with his deceptively simple,
fable-like stories. He was born in Cuba in 1923 and raised in San
Remo, Italy; he fought for the Italian Resistance from 1943-45. His
major works include Cosmicomics (1968), Invisible Cities (1972),
and If on a winter’s night a traveler (1979). He died in Siena in
1985. William Weaver is best known for his translations of Italo
Calvino, Roberto Calasso and Umberto Eco. He won the 1971 John
Florio Prize for The Heron by Giorgio Bassani, and in 1992 he won
it again for The Dust Roads of Monferrato by Rosetta Loy.
