Mehr zum Buch

Fusing elements of fantasy with social commentary, this anthology showcases the work of Dino Buzzati, an Italian master of short stories. Spanning four decades, it reflects the political and social turmoil of the twentieth century through imaginative tales that address global horrors and Italian issues alike. With a blend of humor, tragedy, and surrealism, Buzzati's stories, including classics and previously untranslated pieces, challenge ideological norms while creating unsettling yet plausible realities. Lawrence Venuti’s translations capture the essence of Buzzati's unique storytelling style.
