About ebook : Fantastic Tales
The acclaimed author presents " a rich and wide-ranging anthology " of 19th century fantasy and horror stories-with an original introduction for each ( Library Journal ).
Vampires, ghosts, and other horrors abound in this collection of nineteenth-century fantastic literature, selected and edited by Italo Calvino, a twentieth-century master of the speculative. As Calvino explains in his introduction to this collection, "the true theme of the nineteenth-century fantastic tale is the reality of what we see: to believe or not to believe in phantasmagoric apparitions, to glimpse another world, enchanted or infernal, behind everyday appearances."
This anthology of twenty-six enchanting, uncanny, terrifying, and immortally entertaining short stories includes E.T.A. Hoffmann's "The Sandman," Nikolai Gogol's "The Nose," Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart," Robert Louis Stevenson's "The Bottle Imp," and many more, each with a introduction by Calvino.
"Impressive and utterly pleasing.Each story [Calvino] picks is absorbing, unique, and continually surprising."- Los Angeles Times
