书籍介绍
Mr. Palomar, whose name purposely evokes that of the famous telescope, is a seeker after knowledge, a visionary in a world sublime and ridiculous. Whether contemplating a cheese, a woman's breasts, or a gorilla's behavior, he brings us a vision of a world familiar by consensus, fragmented by the burden of individual perception. Translated by William Weaver. A Helen and Kurt Wolff Book
伊塔洛·卡尔维诺（1923-1985）是意大利当代最有世界影响的作家。他在四十年的创作实践中，不断探索和创新，力求以最贴切的方法和形式表现当今的社会和现代人的精神，以及他对人生的感悟和信念。他的作品风格多样，每一部都达到极高的水准，表现了时代，更超越了时代。他于1985年猝然逝世，而与当年的诺贝尔文学奖失之交臂，但他在国际文坛上的影响与日俱增，他的创作日益受到人们的关注。

He decides that he will set himself to describing every instant of his life, and until he has described them all he will no longer think of being dead. At that moment he dies.
