La modalità della raccolta di racconti non è proprio nelle mie corde, quindi non sono riuscita ad apprezzare a pieno il libro, trovandolo un po' ripetitivo. Tuttavia la fantasia di Calvino è impareggiabile e l'idea di percorrere tramite i racconti tutta la storia dell'universo e dell'origine della vita dai punti di vista più particolari, come quelli macroscopici dei pianeti o quelli microscopici delle cellule stesse umanizzate, è semplicemente geniale e originale.

The second Italo Calvino book I have read (first being If on a winters night a traveler), I thought it not as good as the first but still an immersive experience.
I feel some of the scientific names were lost on me, therefore I felt as if I didn't quite understand to my potential of the story. However, I loved how I felt that I too was experiencing every event that the main character did. That I was time travelling, but not watching someone else's memories but my own.

Calvino,
The ability to weave your insanely wild imaginations into words, the skill to even find appropriate words has left me in awe. I am extremely intrigued by this speculative story collection!

non il mio preferito di Calvino, ma nel complesso una lettura piacevole che mi ha accompagnata per un bel po’ di tempo e anche solo per questo gli esprimo tutta la mia gratitudine con 3 stelline
sammireynis's review against another edition
Love the concept and these short stories were fun to read. There are 12 of them in this edition and they're connected through the narrator who serves as a sort of main character who has always existed and takes many forms through the stories.
A bit too horny though, you could make a drinking game out of this by taking a shot each time the word 'bosom' is used.
That and each time the main character starts simping for someone new.
Favorite stories: The Light-Years, A Sign in Space, The Aquatic Uncle
