书籍简介

"每个人每时每刻都在给每个人打电话，没有人可以和任何人说话...... 距离是支撑每个爱情故事的经线"。- 摘自《黑暗中的数字》

《黑暗中的数字》中的故事创作于 1943 年至 1984 年之间，跨越了一位现代小说大师的职业生涯：从伊塔洛-卡尔维诺寓言故事，到以二战时期意大利的生活为背景的故事，再到他后期作品中令人愉悦的实验。这里有关于数字时代生活的推理小说、体裁弯曲的奇迹，以及与蒙特祖玛和尼安德特人等人的 "不可能访谈"。由蒂姆-帕克斯（Tim Parks）巧妙翻译的《黑暗中的数字》展现了卡尔维诺毕生擅长的微妙幽默和闪烁的哲学洞察力。

“Everybody telephones everybody at every possible moment, and nobody can speak to anybody . . . Distance has been the warp that supports the weft of every love story.” — from Numbers in the Dark

Written between 1943 and 1984, the stories in Numbers in the Dark span the career of one of fiction’s modern masters: from Italo Calvino’s fables, to tales informed by life in World War II–era Italy, to the delightful experimentation that would define his later work. Here are speculative stories on life in the digital age, genre-bending wonders, and “impossible interviews” with the likes of Montezuma and a Neanderthal. Deftly translated by Tim Parks, Numbers in the Dark shows off Calvino’s lifelong gift for subtle humor and shimmering philosophical insight.
