Este livro fornece várias respostas a essas perguntas, algumas consensuais, outras polêmicas, mas todas certamente enriquecedoras. Em verdadeiro trabalho de ourivesaria, Calvino desentranha as diversas facetas do que seja um clássico, para depois iluminar com uma leitura penetrante seus próprios clássicos, ou seja, alguns dos autores mais importantes da tradição literária e intelectual do Ocidente. Por que ler os clássicos? A razão definitiva que Calvino dá a essa pergunta e tão simples como as grandes verdades: a única justificativa que se pode apresentar e que ler os clássicos e melhor do que não os ler... El prefijo iterativo delante del verbo «leer» puede ser una pequeña hipocresía de todos los que se avergüenzan de admitir que no han leído un libro famoso. Para tranquilizarlos bastará señalar que por vastas que puedan ser las lecturas «de formación» de un individuo, siempre queda un número enorme de obras fundamentales que uno no ha leído. An author of modern literary classics himself, Italo Calvino is represented in this collection with his literary criticism. And it is criticism of a high order considering classics from Homer to Borges and many other authors. It is a book to be relished for dipping into to get a taste of his critical writing or to get recommendations for classics to read, if you have not already or if you have merely forgotten how good a particular author or classic was when you read it many moons ago. If nothing else it reminds us that great writers, like Calvino, are great readers often with eclectic tastes, but always with a way to entice earnest readers into an exploration of great reading. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"Italo Calvino was not only a prolific master of fiction, he was also an uncanny reader of literature. Why Read the Classics? is the most comprehensive collection of Calvino's literary criticism available in English, accounting for the enduring importance to our lives of crucial writers of the Western canon. Here - spanning more than two millennia, from antiquity to postmodernism - are thirty-six ruminations on the writers, poets, and scientists who meant most to Calvino at different stages of his life."--BOOK JACKET.
