‘Ever since the world began, men have been subject to various tricks of Fortune’ In the summer of 1348, as the Black Death ravages their city, ten young Florentines take refuge in the countryside. They amuse themselves by each telling a story a day for the ten days they are destined to remain there – a hundred stories of love, adventure and surprising twists of fate. Less preoccupied with abstract concepts of morality or religion than earthly values, the tales range from the bawdy Peronella hiding her lover in a tub to Ser Cepperallo, who, despite his unholy effrontery, becomes a Saint. The result is a towering monument of European literature and a masterpiece of imaginative narrative. This is the second edition of G. H. McWilliam’s acclaimed translation of the Decameron. In his introduction Professor McWilliam illuminates the worlds of Boccaccio and of his storytellers, showing Boccaccio as a master of vivid and exciting prose fiction.

Italo Calvino imagines a novel capable of endless mutations in this intricately crafted story about writing and readers. 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.

Book Description Frances Mayes - widely published poet, gourmet cook and travel writer - opens the door on a wondrous new world when she buys and restores an abandoned villa in the spectacular Tuscan countryside. She finds faded frescoes beneath the whitewash in the dining room, a vineyard under wildly overgrown brambles - and even a wayward scorpion under her pillow. And from her traditional kitchen and simple garden she creates dozens of delicious seasonal recipes, all included in this book. In the vibrant local markets and neighbouring hill towns, the author explores the nuances of the Italian landscape, history and cuisine. Each adventure yields delightful surprises - the perfect panettone, an unforgettable wine, or painted Etruscan tombs. Doing for Tuscany what Peter Mayle did for Provence, Mayes writes about the tastes and pleasures of a foreign country with gusto and passion. A celebration of the extraordinary quality of life in Tuscany, Under the Tuscan Sun is a feast for all the senses. Amazon.com In this memoir of her buying, renovating and living in an abandoned villa in Tuscany, Frances Mayes reveals the sensual pleasure she found living in rural Italy and the generous spirit she brought with her. She revels in the sunlight and the colour, the long view of her valley, the warm homey architecture, the languor of the slow paced days, the vigor of working her garden and the intimacy of her dealings with the locals. Cooking, gardening, tiling and painting are never chores, but skills to be learned, arts to be practiced and above all to be enjoyed. At the same time Mayes brings a literary and intellectual mind to bear on the experience, adding depth to this account of her enticing rural idyll. From Publishers Weekly Mayes's favorite guide to Northern Italy allots seven pages to the town of Cortona, where she owns a house. But here she finds considerably more to say about it than that, all of it so enchanting that an armchair traveler will find it hard to resist jumping out of the chair and following in her footsteps. The recently divorced author is euphoric about the old house in the Tuscan hills that she and her new lover renovated and now live in during summer vacations and on holidays. A poet, food-and-travel writer, Italophile and chair of the creative writing department at San Francisco State University, Mayes is a fine wordsmith and an exemplary companion whose delight in a brick floor she has just waxed is as contagious as her pleasure in the landscape, architecture and life of the village. Not the least of the charms of her book are the recipes for delicious meals she has made. Above all, her observations about being at home in two very different cultures are sharp and wise. From Booklist It takes a determined effort to read this account of restoring and enjoying a Tuscan farmhouse without experiencing a violent attack of adolescent jealousy. Why her and not me, you'll be screaming as writer and professor Mayes describes languorous lunches on the patio, local wine flowing freely and olive pits casually pitched toward the nearby stone wall. Yes, there were problems--wells running dry, workers vanishing--but the image Mayes creates of her house, the Italian countryside, and her summers there with fellow professor Ed and sundry visitors is nothing short of idyllic: a real-life version of the film Stealing Beauty, but without the funny-looking sculpture scarring the landscape. Mayes' delightful recipes, evocative descriptions of the nearby village of Cortona, and thoughtful musings on the Italian spirit only add to the pleasure. This is armchair travel at its most enticing. Can we really blame ourselves for wanting to strap Mayes down in some ratty armchair while we go live in her farmhouse 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Bill Ott From Library Journal In a carefully written story, poet Mayes (Ex Voto, Lost Roads, 1995), who chairs the creative writing department at San Francisco State University, recounts the purchase and renovation of an abandoned Tuscan villa. She begins with the 1990 search with her companion, Ed, for a summer home to take the place of the rented farmhouses of past years. They finally decide on Bramasole ("Yearning for the Sun"), a villa with 17 rooms and a garden that has been standing empty for 30 years. There is the ordeal of getting money transferred via the tangled Italian banking system, as well as bringing together the owner, builders, and government officials to get the necessary work done. The daunting process requires several years. Meanwhile, Mayes finds Italian country life a healthy antidote to hectic San Francisco, enjoying, for example, the fruits of her own garden, friends in the village, and the first olive harvest. This is an unusual memoir of one woman's challenge to herself and its successful transformation into a satisfying opportunity to improve the quality of her life. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　William R. Smith, Johns Hopkins Univ. Lib., Baltimore From AudioFile Let the Tuscan sun warm you. Listeners can savor the delights of the countryside, fresh food, flowers and Italian village life through Frances Mayes's memoir of restoring a stone villa in Tuscany and her exploration of the surrounding countryside. For listeners who prefer to hear authors reading their own works, poet, teacher and food critic Mayes reads this abridgment version. While clear and engaging, her voice reflects her Georgia upbringing and caused this reviewer some consternation as she described an endearing Italian scene with a Southern accent. Mayes's intent is to guide readers as one would a guest, showing them all the delights of the place she finds so magical. One additional plus, a small booklet includes actual recipes from some of the memorable meals. Despite her accent, listeners will find themselves immersed in her vivid perceptions. R.F.W.

全書由十二則短篇以及貫串的共同人物組成，每篇都有一則看似科學新知的「讚詞」導引，故事則從敘事者Qfwfq﹙無法發音的名字﹚的童年展開，寫及他的初戀及同儕情誼。卡爾維諾在本書中展現他獨特的寫作企圖，以文字將宇宙演化過程詩化，將無限無艮的時空注入了有限生命的記憶。 《宇宙連環圖》是卡爾維諾六○年代的代表作，表現出作家高度的創造力，曾獲頒美國國家書卷獎。其後陸續出版《看不見的城市》、《不存在的騎士 》和《如果在冬夜，一個旅人》，奠定他在當代文壇的崇高地位。 約翰．厄普戴克，《紐約客》：「如同波赫士和馬奎斯一樣，卡爾維諾幫我們做了完美的夢……在他們三人中，卡爾維諾是最開朗明亮的一位，並且對於人類的真實有著最多樣的、仁慈的好奇……」 保羅．韋斯特，Book World：「深刻的、無拘無束的關於宇宙創造的描述……卡爾維諾將想像力發揮提升到極限。」

義大利最具知識分子良心的天才作家李維最後遺作。藉著對集中營的白描陳述，吟唱對生命最大的禮讚。融合微觀歷史、詩人心靈告白與對納粹罪行的見證，了解二十世紀人類心性的獨特遭遇必讀。 其實對大多數人來說，解放的一刻既不欣喜也不輕鬆。 解放發生在毀壞、屠殺和痛苦的悲劇背景下，當他們感覺自己再度成為人時，也就是必須為自己的言行負責時，身為人的悲哀就回來了，家人離散或死亡的哀傷，身邊一切的苦痛，自己似乎無藥可醫，永不休止的筋疲力竭，必須在廢墟中重頭開始的人生問題。只有少數幸運兒，或只有在短短的剎那，或只有非常單純的靈魂，才能享受到把痛苦丟在腦後的快樂；在此同時，創痛卻幾乎一定相伴而來。

本世紀最震撼的問題小說，暢銷歐美•全球最高評價的典範鉅作三個米蘭出版社的編輯，偶然間得到一則類似密碼的訊息，是有關於幾世紀前聖堂武士的一項秘密計畫。三個人平常受夠了各種怪力亂神的編務工作，一時興起，突發奇想，便決定自己來編造這個超級『計畫』。 他們把各種各樣的資料輸入一台小名『阿布』的電腦中，然後把歷史上每一椿無法解釋的神秘事件都歸因於聖堂武士的『計畫』。從遠古的巨石到深奧的植物智慧，從永生不死的聖日耳曼伯爵、隱秘的薔薇十字社到巴西的巫毒教，反正每一件事都跟聖堂武士脫不了關係。他們並得意地預言聖堂武士『計畫』的最終實現－－即征服整個世界，已經迫在眉睫了！ 他們樂此不疲地大開歷史玩笑，直到原本的『遊戲』竟似乎『弄假成真』，直到神秘莫測的『他們』突然出現爭奪『計畫』的細節，直到開始有人一個接一個莫名地失蹤...... 作者簡介 安伯托•艾可 生於一九三二年，義大利亞歷山卓亞人。他是當前極負盛譽的記號語言學權威，也是知名的哲學家、歷史學家、文學評論家和美學家。現居米蘭，執教於波隆納大學，研究範圍從聖湯馬士•阿奎納到詹姆士•喬伊思到超人，極為廣博，發表過十餘本重要學術著作，包括著名的《讀者的角色──記號語言學的探討》一書。《玫瑰的名字》是他的第一本小說，在一九八○年出版後，立刻博得各界一致的推崇和好評，不但得法國和義大利最重要的文學獎，亦襲捲歐美各地的暢銷排行榜，銷售量迄今已逾九百萬冊，並被翻譯二十四種語文。日本的譯者河島英昭氏更窮極七年的時間，歷經無數次的修稿翻此書，由此可見艾可作品的分量。儘管第一本小說便獲得了非凡的成就，他卻遲至八年後才再出版第二本小說──《博科擺》，一如各方所預期的，這本書再度在歐美引起了極大的轟動，成為最熱門的閱讀話題。

本書為卡爾維諾生前出版的最後一本獨白小說，是其最具盛名的經典代表作。書中透過帕洛瑪先生的代言，將卡爾維諾的人生哲觀做一清楚鮮明的敘述，其文學價值崇高，將小說拉高到語言哲學、記號學及人類學的層次。並且行文不著雕琢痕跡，敘述他（帕洛瑪先生）觀察事務的方法、觀察後的連想，最後將兩者拉高到理念層次，心靈獨白與自我詰問，綜合成卡爾維諾的心靈傳記，留給後人得以理解他的軌跡。 全書共分三章：1、帕洛瑪先生的假期；2、帕洛瑪先生在城市裡；3、帕洛瑪先生的沉默。其標題的1.2.3.不論位於第一或第二、三位數，除了純粹的順序意義外，也對應了三個主題範圍，三種經驗和探究，依其比重呈現在本書的每個部位。

本书收诗歌170余首。分别选自《水与土》、《消逝的笛音》、《瞬息间是夜晚》、《日复一日》、《乐土》和《给予和获得》等诗集。这些诗篇，情愫绵绵，神采飞动，无论状景、咏物、或抒写现实世界，或缅怀往昔，都饱含了诗人的热忱。他用浓烈的感情，涂抹时代生活的悲剧，又把热烈憧憬的理想，涸染在感情的多种色彩之中。他的每一首诗，字里行间无不涌动着激荡的情怀。

本书精选和译介了卡尔杜齐有代表性的诗作，分为《青春诗钞》，《轻松的诗与严肃的诗》，《抑扬格的诗与长短句的诗》，《新诗钞》、《野蛮颂歌》，《有韵的诗与有节奏的诗》，和《其他》七辑.此外还收入了散文作品，译本前言对诗人的生平及作品作了中肯的介绍与分析，书后还附录了《授奖词》。
