书籍简介

“这本书既讲述了从青春期到青年时期的过渡，也讲述了从和平到战争的转变:至于其他非常多的人，因为这本书的主角‘进入生活’和‘进入战争’不谋而合。”——摘自作者笔记

这三个故事发生在1940年夏天，取材于伊塔洛·卡尔维诺对自己在第二次世界大战期间青春期的记忆，他太年轻了，不能被迫在军队中作战，但已经大到可以被征入意大利青年队。这些故事的叙述者稚气未脱，观察到一个城市为战争所带来的日益严重的不安，对一个被占领的法国城镇的掠夺，以及停电期间的夜间狂欢。《走进战争》是卡尔维诺的自传体小说作品之一，在此以其英文译本出现。它既提供了对这位作家非凡生活的一瞥，也是对他狡猾、巧妙的文学声音的提炼。

“This book deals both with a transition from adolescence into youth and with a move from peace to war: as for very many other people, for the protagonist of this book ‘entry into life’ and ‘entry into war’ coincide.” — from the Author’s Note

These three stories, set during the summer of 1940, draw on Italo Calvino’s memories of his own adolescence during the Second World War, too young to be forced to fight inarmy but old enough to be conscripted into the Italian youth brigades. The callow narrator of these tales observes the mounting unease of a city girding itself for war, the looting of an occupied French town, and nighttime revels during a blackout. Appearing here in its first English translation, Into the War is one of Calvino’s only works of autobiographical fiction. It offers both a glimpse of this writer’s extraordinary life and a distilled dram of his wry, ingenious literary voice.

作者简介

伊塔洛·卡尔维诺（Italo Calvino/1923年10月15日—1985年9月19日），意大利当代作家。主要作品有小说《分成两半的子爵》、《树上的男爵》、《不存在的骑士》等。

卡尔维诺生于古巴哈瓦那，随父母移居意大利。毕业于都灵大学文学系。1947年发表长篇《通向蜘蛛巢的小路》。20世纪50年代起以幻想和离奇的手法写作小说，或反映现实中人的异化，或讽刺现实的种种荒谬滑稽。《两半的子爵》是他的代表作，这部小说同后来写的《树上的男爵》（1957）和《不存在的骑士》（1959）合辑为《我们的祖先》三部曲。20世纪六、七十年代卡尔维诺创作了《看不见的城市》（1972）和《宇宙喜剧》（1965）等。他还搜集整理了《意大利童话》。1985年9月，卡尔维诺突患脑溢血在意大利佩斯卡拉逝世，终年62岁，葬在地中海岸边的卡斯提格连小镇。

Italo Calvino (15 October 1923 – 19 September 1985) was an Italian writer and journalist. His best known works include the Our Ancestors trilogy (1952–1959), the Cosmicomics collection of short stories (1965), and the novels Invisible Cities (1972) and If on a winter's night a traveler (1979).

Admired in Britain, Australia and the United States, he was the most translated contemporary Italian writer at the time of his death.

Italo Calvino is buried in the garden cemetery of Castiglione della Pescaia, in Tuscany.
