Intricate interior lives are brilliantly explored in these short stories, now presented in one definitive collection as Calvino intended them

In Difficult Loves, Italy's master storyteller weaves tales in which cherished deceptions and illusions of love--including self-love--are swept away in magical instants of recognition. A soldier is reduced to quivering fear by the presence of a full-figured woman in his train compartment; a young clerk leaves a lady's bed at dawn; a young woman is isolated from bathers on a beach by the loss of her bikini bottom. Each of them discovers hidden truths beneath the surface of everyday life.
This is the first edition in English to present the collection as Calvino originally envisioned it, and includes two stories newly translated by Ann Goldstein.

Absolutely worth the purchase
Color: 10 in 500 White
These plates are perfect. Very sturdy and leak proof. Although if food is extremely hot, you will see a little moisture where ever the plate was resting. Don't mistake this for leakage. These plates are compostable and come in two colors. A brownish beige for every day, and a pure white if you prefer the brighter color for a more semi elegant style. The white pairs well with glassware and metal eating utensils. Both are reasonably priced, the white costing 69 plus dollars and the beige 10 dollars cheaper . 500 plates last me about a month and a half. Only because we use them for everything all day every day. I highly recommend these plates. They're worth every penny.
