Italian author Italo Calvino's masterpiece is a novel about novels. Or rather, a novel about reading novels. In spite of its apparent complexity shown, for instance, on the alternation between first and second person narrative, the book has a fairly simple structure: the odd chapters concern the novel's reader and the even ones are the first chapters of ten different novels the reader is reading.I will not explain this further as I do not want to spoil it for readers out there. All I will say is Reader, if you are seeking a book that combines intellect and imagination, please read this.
