《为什么读经典》其实是关于“经典是什么”的一部书。作者卡尔维诺不仅向我们阐述了经典的定义,而且开放了自己的秘密书架,以一个文学大家的敏感来揣测另一些经典作家的创作思维,告诉我们他是如何阅读经典和经典如何成为经典。 Why Reading Classics is actually a book about what classics are. The author Calvino not only explained to us the definition of classics, but also opened his own secret bookshelves to speculate on the writings of other literary writers about the literary sensibilities of other writers and how he read how the classics and classics became classics.
