Black dream-the crow finally came.

Italo calvino once described himself as follows: "I still belong to the same category as Croce, and think that only one author's works are valuable, so I don't provide biographical materials. I will tell you what you want to know. But I will never tell you the truth. " He writes novels in fantastic ways, or reflects the alienation of people in reality, or satirizes the absurdity of reality, calling for a complete personality and a solid existence in the opposite direction.

This edition of The Last Crow I read contains thirty short stories written by Calvino from 1945 to 1948, which was translated from Italian by the famous Italian literary translator Ma, and contains the handwritten preface, version notes and postscript written by literary critic Gianno PonBalloni. Riccardo Verde, a famous Italian artist, drew illustrations for each story, which made us more intuitively immersed in the dark fantasy that Calvino told us.

I like the suspense adventure in the garden;

In the garden, the gardener Ribeireso wants to give the maid Maria-Ann Nunzia a present. He comically wanted to give her a natural gift. He gave her a toad, a beetle and a green lizard ... that afternoon, like Adam, he was still uncivilized in seeking love.

Giovannino and Seregni walked into a luxurious garden. "Everything in that garden is wonderful and difficult to use. They always feel uncomfortable and afraid inside. This may be just the negligence of fate, and they will soon be called to review their behavior. " Corresponding to them who boldly entered the garden, it was the pale little boy in the villa. He seems to be well protected, but he seems to be trapped in that cold villa.

Calvino's story is full of animals. His animals remind me of Mark? In Xia Jiaer's paintings, Xia Jiaer also likes to turn animals into bizarre images, and then turn them into dreams with exaggerated colors. Calvino, like Xia Jiaer, is an idyllic figure.

Calvino misses his childhood, and the children in his works are very exploratory, bravely exploring nature in a cruel world. Gianno Pang Balloni commented that "the children in Calvino's works are part of nature, and they know its secrets, nests, vegetation and small animals, as well as all the games played in this fresh and cruel land."

Calvino likes to think of war as something casually mentioned in the daily conversation of ordinary farmers. Like many gossips, it seems very close and far away, and there is a natural gap with ordinary people, but the war has changed all of us. The war in his works is black, like a dream, but it is real, hopeless, scary, numb and full of dramatic black humor, just like the crow hovering in the air for a long time.
