Excellent short stories, Under The Jaguar Sun especially. Fully reawakened taste, sound and smell in a way that’s easy to forget on a daily basis.

Tre racconti per una serie lasciata incompleta sui sensi.
Meraviglioso il primo sull'olfatto: intreccio di tre storie, molto diverse tra loro ma fortemente coinvolgenti nella narrazione e nelle ambientazioni. 5 stelle
Elaborato e forse eccessivamente condito il secondo, sul gusto, con quasi prevedibile finale un po' forzato su toni oscuri. 3/4 stelle
Meno riuscito il terzo e non abbastanza coinvolgente. 3 stelle.
Si tratta, comunque, dell'opera di un sapiente tessitore di trame attraverso l'inanellamento di parole danzanti, roboanti, ficcanti, stimolanti.

Calvino enteresan bir yazar, yazdıkları da bence kendisi gibi. Bu ufak ve yarım öykü kitabında da, 5 duyuyu benzetmelerle yaşama aktarmaya çalışmış. Özellikle Meksika'da geçen ve tatm duygusunu anlatan "Jaguar-Güneş Altında" ile bir kralın sarayındaki sessizlikle imtihanını anlatan "Kulak Kesilmiş Bir Kral" çok güzel -ki bunda da bariz şekilde duyma duyusunu kaleme alıyor.

Sensuous prose, in the most literal sense. Calvino fires off three intense and memorable short stories.
Under the Jaguar Sun: An intimate, thrilling, almost carnal portrait of appetite, straying into wanton and forbidden desire.
A King Listens: Intricate, neurotic and layered with imagery; Calvino works a wild and delightful magic with his metaphors, but without overindulging. Just a masterpiece, I read it twice in succession.
The Name, The Nose An intoxicating, disorientating, nigh-orgiastic medley. Quite thrilling!

The final collection of tales to come from Calvino, Under the Jaguar Sun contains three short stories that were originally intended to correspond to our five senses, the intention being cut-short by his untimely demise, leaving the visual and tactile world of narrative unpenned.
