Résumé:
"If on a winter's night a traveler" turns out to be not one novel but ten, each with a different plot, style, ambience, and author, and each interrupted at a moment of suspense. Together they form a labyrinth of literatures, known and unknown, alive and extinct, through which two readers, a male and a female, pursue both the story lines that intrigue them and one another.

Résumé:
A handful of years after he arrived in New York from Tokyo as a young Neo-Dada sculptor, Arakawa began producing two-dimensional works that brought together text and schematic images. These "diagram paintings," begun in the mid-1960s, offered elusive combinations of signs and shapes with words and phrases. With these paintings, he sought to stimulate the formation of mental images by the viewer--and for the viewer to engage both mind and eye in the act of perception.

Résumé:
At the time of his death, Italo Calvino was at work on six lectures setting forth the qualities in writing he most valued, and which he believed would define literature in the century to come. Here, in "Six Memos for the Next Millennium", are the five lectures he completed, forming not only a stirring defense of literature, but also an indispensable guide to the writings of Calvino himself. He devotes one "memo" each to the concepts of "lightness, quickness, exactitude, visibility, and multiplicity", drawing examples from his vast knowledge of myth, folklore, and works both ancient and modern.

Si nous sommes peut-être en train de nous approcher d'un moment de crise de la vie urbaine, "Les villes invisibles" est un rêve qui naît du cœur des villes invivables.» Au prétexte d'un dialogue imaginaire entre Marco Polo et l'empereur Kublai Khan, Italo Calvino dresse une série de portraits de villes inventées, symboliques, surréalistes. Dans cette oeuvre hybride où sa prose tutoie plus que jamais la poésie, se lit une subtile réflexion sur le langage, l'utopie et notre monde moderne.
