Translated from the Italian by William Weaver, The Castle of the Crossed Destinies uses the device of the tarot cards and their archetypal narratives to create a series of short fantastic narratives. In a fairy tale setting - a castle ans a tavern in the heart of a dense wood - a company of men and women are brought together by chance. Distraught by strange adventures, they find they have lost their voices. The book you see in the images is the actual book we have for sale. Why pay more?

Italo Calvino (1923 1985) was an Italian writer best known for works including the 'Our Ancestors' trilogy (1952 1959) the 'Cosmicomics' collection of short stories (1965) and the novels 'Invisible Cities' (1972) and 'If on a winter's night a traveler' (1979). Especially admired in Britain Australia and the United States Calvino was the most translated contemporary Italian writer at the time of his death. A series of short, fantastic narratives inspired by fifteenth-century tarot cards and their archetypical images. The structure of the narrative is very interesting and is in some ways a commentary on all narration and also on the underlying archetypes of narration. Thus for readers of fiction, this short book, a collection of stories, offers food for thought about how a story is created or re-created as the case may be. The book is written in two sections. In both, a traveler comes to a castle or tavern where no one can speak and each person at the table tells their story or tale using the Tarot cards. There are many stories related here but the curiosity is that one person's series of cards can then be criss-crossed with another traveler's cards to form a grid which can be read backward and forward, up and down. Thus the elements of the narrative can be used and reused in creating narration in an infinite number of patterns with the cards having different meanings depending on the sequence in which they are read. This strongly hints at the psychology of Carl Jung and the universal archetypes that play a role in each person's psychological makeup. However a story requires that the actors show action and thus the series of cards in and of themselves do not relate very much action, which must be interpreted by the mute teller to the listeners. The randomness of this is certainly a protection against cliché but some of the stories generated with this methodology left me a bit unsatisfied. There are many magical characters and yet the stories, for all their strangeness, seemed to end up abruptly. Throughout the book are illustrations of the cards mentioned on that particular page, a nice touch. Also at then end of the book is a diagram mapping Calvino's interpretation of Shakespeare's great tragedies. ; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 260 pages First Edition USA [1985], so stated.
