Sechs Vorschläge Für Das Nächste Jahrtausend. Harvard Vorlesungen by Italo Calvino
Harvard Vorlesungen
A series of brief, elegiac lectures that propose a set of aesthetic values for future writers—lightness, quickness, exactitude, visibility and multiplicity (with a sixth, unfinished idea left implicit)—arguing through literary examples, personal anecdote and philosophical asides that good writing should be agile, precise, imagistically clear and open to combinatory thought; the essays link classical and modern texts with science and technology, insist on the ethical as well as formal importance of style, and serve as a passionate, prescriptive meditation on how storytelling and language might be renewed for the coming millennium.
