Here, Calvino applies his encyclopedic mind to the delights of the visual world, in essays on subjects ranging from cuneiform and antique maps to Mexican temples and Japanese gardens. Never before translated into English, Collection of Sand is an incisive and often surprising meditation on observation and knowledge, the difference between the world as we see it and the world as it is. 588 Title from resource description page (Recorded Books, viewed April 14, 2014). 600 10 Calvino, Italo|vTranslations into Spanish. 600 10 Calvino, Italo|vTranslations into English. 650 4 Literary criticism. 655 7 Electronic books.|2local 710 2 Baker & Taylor Axis 360 856 4 |uhttp://naper.axis360.baker-taylor.com/ Title?itemid=0013666180
