A beautiful hardback edition of Calvino's genre-switching masterwork. A book of surprise and
adventure but you the reader are the hero. You go into a bookshop and buy If on a Winter's
Night a Traveller by Italo Calvino. You like it. But alas there is a printer's error in your
copy. You take it back to the shop and get a replacement. But the replacement seems to be a
totally different story. You try to track down the original book you were reading but end up
with a different narrative again. This remarkable novel leads you through many different books
including a detective adventure a romance a satire an erotic story a diary and a quest. But
the real hero is you the reader. 'Breathtakingly inventive' David Mitchell 'A writer of
dizzying ambition and variety each of his stories is a fresh adventure into the possibilities
of fiction' Guardian VINTAGE QUARTERBOUND CLASSICS: Bound to be beautiful
