Narrative Conducive To Books El castillo de los destinos cruzados

El castillo de los destinos cruzados, que Italo Calvino consideraba uno de sus mejores libros y el más fantástico entre ellos, fue publicado originalmente en 1973, tras un complejo proceso de elaboración a través de métodos combinatorios que había iniciado cinco años antes. Las dos narraciones que lo componen han sido construidas a partir de un mismo desafío formal: las posibles interpretaciones de dos diferentes mazos de tarot - el de Visconti, para El castillo de los destinos cruzados, con sus delicados miniados que reflejan el refinamiento renacentista y, para La taberna de los destinos cruzados, el de Marsella, de trazos más toscos y que requiere un lenguaje mas popular.

This one looked like pure candy - stories of knight, hermits, and queens told from Tarot cards! - but that proved to be a mirage. Instead it's an Oulipian experiment in how to generate multiple stories from two Tarot decks which differ only in their illustrations. The stories unfold one card at a time - the selected cards are also shown in the margins - as the narrator struggles to create coherence between each card and an overall narrative thread throughout the course of the reading. There's a



I like books. And I like books on books. Italo Calvino creates an air of suspended fictional narratives, with 78 tarot cards, weaving in, amongst others, Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear, Oedipus and Sigismund of Vindabola and his interpretation of dreams.Travellers meet in a tavern, wish to share their stories, but find themselves rendered mute. With just tarot cards at their disposal, though the the tales they create look clichéd, their telling is very much not. Interpretations are questioned, and

I am a huge Calvino fan. His stories are full of mathematical marvels and ingenious ideas. The Castle of Crossed Destinies has both of these characteristics and is a short but marvelous read.

This volume is actually two separate books (The Castle of Crossed Destinies & The Tavern of Crossed Destinies) which have the same gimmick - storytelling via interlocking webs of tarot cards. The first of these was a surprising and charming delight and a pretty amazing feat of construction. The gimmick tired in the second book and it is greatly hampered by the confusing decision to link up most of the stories to classical tales (Shakespeare, King Arthur, Oedipus, etc.). Still, I am an

Not one of my favourite Calvinos, it reads, as his author's note admits, like a writing exercise that ran out of control. For that reason it was worth a look, to see possibilities explored to their straining point. That, and the little part about the function of being a writer telling tales, made this worth looking at. Oh, and the images of the tarot.

I bumped into this book via wikipedia. I was (actually still am, as I write this) reading Orlando Furioso, and on the wikipedia page under Later Literature, read this:The Italian novelist Italo Calvino drew on Ariosto for several of his works of fiction including Il cavaliere inesistente ("The Nonexistent Knight", 1959) and Il castello dei destini incrociati ("The Castle of Crossed Destinies", 1973). In 1970 Calvino brought out his own selection of extracts from the poem.I can't tell you if
