About this ebook
Italo Calvino
Italo Calvino nació en 1923 en Santiago de las Vegas (Cuba). A los dos años la familia regresó a Italia para instalarse en San Remo (Liguria). Publicó su primera novela animado por Cesare Pavese, quien le introdujo en la prestigiosa editorial Einaudi. Allí desempeñaría una importante labor como editor. De 1967 a 1980 vivió en París. Murió en 1985 en Siena, cerca de su casa de vacaciones, mientras escribía Seis propuestas para el próximo milenio. Con la lúcida mirada que le convirtió en uno de los escritores más destacados del siglo XX, Calvino indaga en el presente a través de sus propias experiencias en la Resistencia, en la posguerra o desde una observación incisiva del mundo contemporáneo; trata el pasado como una genealogía fabulada del hombre actual y convierte en espacios narrativos la literatura, la ciencia y la utopía.

Reviews for Los amores difíciles
9 ratings5 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not as good as the Roald Dahl collection and I'd recommend a novel or Invisible Cities before this but still Calvino overall doesn't disappoint in many of these.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A great short story collection - I feel that Italo Calvino brilliantly describes those everyday parts of life that we don't pay enough attention to. At the same time, there were also stories that were hilariously out-of-the-ordinary, such as one about a man's quest to find enough prostitutes to save his wife.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5my favorite calvino so far, even trumps if on a winter's night a traveler... but i haven't read cosmicomics yet!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A story from this book was read at our wedding.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Difficult Loves is a collection of short stories split into four sections: Riviera Stories, Wartime Stories, Post-war Stories, and Stories of Love and Loneliness. I’ve heard that each story is supposed to deal with some form of love, but I’m not sure this is true. Regardless, these stories are fine and unexpected. I’m particularly fond of the Riviera Stories section-- in one story, a gang of young boys explore a crab-infested ship; in another a young man tries to woo a girl by giving her a cornucopia of slimy animals. Not all stories are so carefree-- the Wartime section in particular. A man must navigate a mine field in one story, and in another a soldier must hide from a sharpshooting young boy. The Stories of Love and Loneliness are also excellent and emotionally rich.
This book’s writing is not as mature as If on a winter’s night a traveler or Invisible Cities, more in line with The Baron in the Trees perhaps, but there are still gems that predict what is to come in Calvino’s writings. It’s a good collection with some memorable stories, and some aren’t. But these stories still shine with Calvino’s talent; they are filled with love and truth.
