Marcovaldo

واحدة من أكثر الروايات التي أستمتعت بقرائتها وأنا منغمس تماماً في أسلوب كالفينو الهادئ البسيط , غير المتكلف في سخريته والتي كانت بمثابة جوهر الرواية، كالفينو يستخدم أسلوب فنان, يرسم رواية على هيئة قصص متعددة تتخذ من فصول السنة عنواناً للوحتها لترسم في الواجهة مشهداً طريفاً [...]

Calvino has been on my radar for a long time, and I think I made a good choice in picking Marcovaldo for a first try. This is a small book, but it has a big heart. The stories are set in the poverty ridden early 1950's and follow up to the relative abundance of the 1960's. The immediate connections that spring to mind are the grand masters of Italian neo-realism: de Sica in "The Bycicle Thieves", Fellini in "Amarcord" and "Roma - Citta Apperta", Visconti in "Rocco and his Brothers" or "White Nig [...]

في المدينة حيث المباني العالية المداخن السوداء الغبار يتخلل خيوط الضوء التى تتسرب من النوافذحركة المرور الخانقة وضجيج الاصوات المختلطة تلك الحياة الشاحبة التى مهما حاولت أن تُغرق شوارعها بالأضواء واللوحات الاعلانية الملونة إلا إنه يبقى وجهها حزيناً باهتاًً بين كل هذا الأ [...]

Italo Calvino is always fun to read. While Marcovaldo does not have the Borgesian or post-modern tropes of Invisible Cities or If on a winter's night a traveller, it is a heart-warming collection of brilliantly crafted stories, the pinnacle achievement being the lovable naivete and inventive imagination of the titular Italian, Marcovaldo. The whimsy and lyricism of Calvino's prose is worthwhile enough to embark on the too-short modern voyage of this short book, though it has much else to offer a [...]

Βαθμολογία: 9/10Αυτή η μικρή συλλογή είκοσι διηγημάτων αποτελεί την πρώτη μου επαφή με το έργο του Ίταλο Καλβίνο. Το βιβλίο το αγόρασα χθες μαζί με το "Οι πρόγονοί μας" (είναι ένας τόμος που συγκεντρώνει τρία βιβλία), ενώ εδώ και αρκετό καιρό έχω δυο από τα πιο πολυδιαβασμένα έρ [...]

I actually really liked this one, more than I expected. This is my second from Italo Calvino, and although this is a far difference from ". If on a Winter's Night a Traveler", it was almost as great, in different ways. Nice to find an author than can write well in multiple genres/styles. "Morcovaldo" ["The Seasons in the City"] is a collection of vignettes, connected but separated by seasons and time. "Marcovaldo is an unskilled worker in a drab industrial city in northern Italy. He is an irrepr [...]

C’è una leggera brezza, un vento che viene da lontano, in cielo una luna splendente e Venere lontana, da sola, che esplode di luce; il vento si trasforma, diventa violento e strappa le foglie dagli alberi, le fa volteggiare mescolate con la pioggia, tanta acqua che ridà vita alle piante, fa crescere funghi e alla fine il vento conduce le foglie verso l’arcobaleno. Sono le ultime giornate di autunno, arriva l’inverno, la neve ricopre il mondo esterno e gli dà una forma strana, diversa, s [...]

Είναι μια σειρά από όμορφες ιστορίες που τις θυμάμαι με μια γλυκιά νοσταλγία. Είναι παιδικά παραμυθάκια που η αξία τους έγκειται στην απλότητά τους και στην έλλειψη επιτήδευσης στο ύφος. Αυτό είναι που μου άρεσε στον Italo Calvino, αυτό ακριβώς που μαρτυρά και το μικρό του όνομα. � [...]

إيتالو كالفينو قاصّ بسيط!لا تعني البساطة هنا أنّه ساذج، أو سطحي، أو جاهل.فالبساطة يمكن أن تكون جميلة، وجميلة جدًا كتلك التي يمارسها كالفينو في هذه المجموعة القصصية التي قد يصنفها البعض بأنها قصص موجهة للأطفالوالبساطة ليست مرادفًا للسهولة، فالذين يكتبون قصصًا وروايات للأطف [...]

Non sono una estimatrice di Calvino, ma a Marcovaldo sono davvero affezionata. L’ho letto a scuola, la prima volta, accompagnata, nel mio procedere, dal puntuale, quieto e preciso commentare della mia insegnante di letteratura italiana delle medie. Grande donna. La persona giusta al posto giusto, mi sento di dire. L’ho ripensata spesso. Credo di doverle molto in termini di amore per la letteratura. Temo sia ormai morta, ma non ho modo di sapere cosa ne sia, oggi, di lei. La ricorderò sempre [...]

Ma esiste ancora la natura?Venti racconti uniti dallo stesso protagonista: un uomo semplice con una famiglia numerosa e una vita grama. Ma Marcovaldo è un sognatore con un cuore di bambino: trova la bellezza e la poesia nelle piccole cose, quelle nascoste dal caos cittadino e invisibili ai più. I racconti affascinano per l'atmosfera sospesa da favola, per la magia, per la tenerezza e la malinconia, per la capacità di fermarsi a guardare le foglie che cadono, uno spicchio di luna, un arcobalen [...]

Като се замислих как да определя това, което е направил Калвино, докато е правил "Марковалдо", се сетих за последното изречение от една книга, която обожавам: "Трябва да се обича". Не "не би било зле да се обича", "препоръчително е", "може", "случва се", а "трябва". Марковалдо знае. Ос [...]

Here's a book I knew I would like the minute I held it in my hot little hands. For one thing, it's short - 120 pages, fairly large print. For another, it's symmetrical - 20 stories, 5 for each season of the year. And finally, having read one story from it in a seasonal collection already, I knew it was both magical and sarcastic, a combination as golden as snide and abstract are shit. (Ok, it could be argued magical and sarcastic and snide and abstract are po-tay-to and po-tah-to, but let's not [...]

„В единия ъгъл на градинката, под свод от кестени, се гушеше усамотена пейка. Марковалдо си я беше заплюл за своя и в летните нощи…“Това няма да бъде типичен отзив, а повече аз-разказ. Защото още на първата страница (т.е. стр. 19 след чудесния предговор, който уместно прочетох [...]

"Marcovaldo ya da Kentte Mevsimler"de, doğadan kopan sıradan kentlinin hikayeleri anlatılıyor. Doğadan ayrı düşen Marcovaldo, bunun getirdiği mutsuzluğun pençesinde kıvranmakta ve bir çıkış yolu aramaktadır. Her öyküde, sıkışıp kaldığı kent yaşamından kaçmanın, doğa ile temas etmenin yolunu bulmaya çalışır. Bazen bir tramvay yolunda biten bir mantarda, bazen işyerinde büyütmeye çalıştığı bir bitkide, bazen de bir parktaki bankta sabahlamakta arar çare [...]

I was trying to write about cold weather. Since I was struggling, I set down my pen and opened this book and was amazed to read this:"Cold has a thousand shapes and a thousand ways of moving in the world: on the sea it gallops like a troop of horses, on the countryside it falls like a swarm of locusts, in the cities like a knife-blade it slashes the streets and penetrates the chinks of unheated houses."There! Simultaneously familiar and new. That is how it is done, Calvino. No wonder I read you [...]

كالفينو يكتب قصصاً كاريكاتيرية بطريقة مذهلة حيث يقوم بسرد حكايا ماركوفالدو الذي ينتمي للطبقة الكادحة و يعمل في مدينة صناعية دأبت على قضم كل ماله علاقة بالطبيعة في الوقت الذي يحاول جاهداً المحافظة على روحه البسيطة

Yine klasik biçime daha yakın bir İtalo Calvino kitabı. Tatlı, rahatsız etmeyen bir fakir edebiyatı tadı var Marcovaldo'nun başından geçenlerde. Ya İtalo'nun yazdığı her şey bana şekilde güzel geliyor ya da İtalo'cuğum Calvino yazdığı her türün hakkını veriyor. Buna karar verebilmek için okumakta en çok zorlandığım tür olan ve bilerek sona bıraktığım otobiyografik yazılarını okumayı bekliyorum.

Calvino'nun tarzını çok oyuncu, zorlama ve yorucu bulanların (hemen söyleyeyim ben onlardan değilim, Calvino deyince saygı duruşuna geçenlerdenim) seveceğini düşündüğüm, Calvino'yla barışmalarını sağlayacak, sade, akıp giden, keyifli kısa öykülerin bulunduğu öykü kitabı. Marcovaldo, şehrin gürültüsünden, koşuşturmasından, zorluklarından ve onun getirisi olan uykusuzluk, huzursuzluktan bıkmış, sessizliği özeleyen bir romantiktir adeta. Mevsimler geçer, [...]

Oh dear, this one was not good. The book is a series of "amusing" sketches featuring the hapless Marcovaldo, each drawing for its comedy from a piece of obvious and terribly cartoonish irony. In one story, a hungry Marcovaldo obtains some free mushrooms but they turn out to be poisoned! In another, he starts treating people for rheumatism through the use of wasp stings but his practice is overrun by wasps! In yet another, Marcovaldo steals a rabbit which he looks forward to eating but the rabbi [...]

Da piccola piangevo spesso per cose che gli altri consideravano poetiche o divertenti, tipo il circo, i film di Charlot o i fumetti di Paperino. Con Marcovaldo andò allo stesso modo: troppo forte l'aura di povertà, le minime vicende da umiliati e offesi, quel sentore di cavolo bollito e stanzette stipate di figli con il bagno in fondo al ballatoio che trasudavano da ogni pagina. Mi disperavo per le sue disavventure, sentivo il peso di quell'ingiustizia esistenziale, avrei voluto salvarlo da qu [...]

Ci sono libri che van bene a 10 anni così come a 40. Marcovaldo è uno di questi.Leggerlo è stato come scorrere le immagini di tavolette di fumetti, quelle di tanti anni fa. Anche i nomi dei personaggi delle 20 novelle sembrano appartenere ai fumetti di un tempo lontano: la moglie Domitilla, il vigile Tornaquinci, il capo-magazziniere Viligelmo, il dottor Godifredo una galleria di personaggi buffi e reali, a metà strada tra il mondo reale e quello fantastico. Fiaba e realtà si intrecciano sa [...]

dear italo calvino,i would like to be able to live in this time and place that you are writing from. i would like to be able to know what it was like to be living in a place that was still struggling to reconcile the modern with the rural. i would like to understand what it was like to live poorly in a place and time like that. maybe it would not be that different to live that way today. but moving to the heart of the matter, i want to know if marcovaldo is a sympathetic or comical character. i [...]

A nice book to start the Italo Calvino experience! Marcovaldo's set of stories is fun and delightful on every season. My faves are: Mushrooms In The City (spring), Park-bench Vacation (summer), The Lunchbox (autumn) Where The River Is More Blue (spring), The Wrong Stop (winter), and The Rain And The Leaves (spring).
