Interesting discussion on the RPG cauldron about finding #ttrpg inspiration in the works of Italo #Calvino https://discourse.rpgcauldron.com/t/read-italo-calvino/1200

Toqué je suis d'Italo Calvino , donc, j'viens de m'offrir "Le baron perché", version italienne, "Il barone rampante". Et...je ne parle pas un traître mot d'italien ! 🤪 Ça va être duraille , mais j'vais m'accrocher !

Los cuadernos de Vieco

Una mirada que dice adiós a un mundo amado, Natalia Ginzburg.
Poco a poco desaparecieron de sus libros los paisajes verdes y frondosos, las nieves relumbrantes, la intensa luz del día. En su escritura surgió una luz diferente, una luz ya no radiante sino blan…

Mon amour pour Italo Calvino,m'a conduit à lire c'te nuit ce court texte d'Gonçalo M.Tavares,"Monsieur Calvino et la promenade". Très beau texte hommage et dans la veine de l'auteur de "Monsieur Palomar". Ce texte s'inscrit chez Tavares dans un tout : O Bairro - Le Quartier où l'on retrouve Pina Bausch, Breton,Krauss... autant de bouquins que je vais m'empresser de lire !!
Traduit du portugais par Dominique Nédellec.

Mon préféré bien sûr, Le baron perché

Un souvenir très clair, La journée d'un scrutateur

Marcovaldo ou Les saisons en ville, tristesse étrange

"Without translation, I would be limited to the borders of my own country. The translator is my most important ally. He introduces me to the world."

reading Italo Calvino's "Time and the hunter" from 1967, about my tenth read of this book, one can just disappear into it, love #calvino #books, I have an odd aversion to paperbacks, this is the only one I own due to not being able to get a hard cover copy many years ago
From the Observer;
"Only a scientist would be able to judge the ecological accuracy of such a vision, but no one could fail to be impressed by what one might reasonably, given Calvino's simple eloquence, call it's poetic truth"

50 years ago, Italo Calvino published his masterpiece "Invisible Cities." In a professional, inspiring, and collegial work, Benjamin Linder edited a book celebrating this jubilee, and I'm happy to be included in this celebration with a chapter titled "Invisible Smart Cities" that offers a reading of Italo Calvino's "Invisible Cities" as a potential inspiration and warning for smart city stakeholders.

Escucho en las noticias a Nadia #Calviño hablar de un código de buenas prácticas voluntario para la #banca. Y que espera que todas las sucursales se sumen.

Porque obviamente el #PSOE sabe con quiénes no meterse...
