About: Cosmicomics

An Entity of Type: book, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Cosmicomics (Italian: Le cosmicomiche) is a collection of twelve short stories by Italo Calvino first published in Italian in 1965 and in English in 1968. The stories were originally published between 1964 and 1965 in the Italian periodicals Il Caffè and Il Giorno. Each story takes a scientific "fact" (though sometimes a falsehood by today's understanding), and builds an imaginative story around it. An always-extant being called Qfwfq narrates all of the stories save two. Every story is a memory of an event in the history of the universe. Qfwfq also narrates some stories in Calvino's t zero.

  • Cosmicomics (Italian: Le cosmicomiche) is a collection of twelve short stories by Italo Calvino first published in Italian in 1965 and in English in 1968. The stories were originally published between 1964 and 1965 in the Italian periodicals Il Caffè and Il Giorno. Each story takes a scientific "fact" (though sometimes a falsehood by today's understanding), and builds an imaginative story around it. An always-extant being called Qfwfq narrates all of the stories save two. Every story is a memory of an event in the history of the universe. Qfwfq also narrates some stories in Calvino's t zero. All of the stories in Cosmicomics, together with those from t zero and other sources, are now available in a single volume collection, The Complete Cosmicomics (Penguin UK, 2009). The first U.S. edition, translated by William Weaver, won the National Book Award in the Translation category. (en)
  • Las cosmicómicas​ es una colección de doce cuentos escritos por Italo Calvino entre 1963 y 1964, publicados mayormente en los periódicos e y luego editadas como colección en 1965 por Giulio Einaudi Editore. Son historias humorísticas escritas en un estilo paradojal relativas al universo, la evolución, el tiempo y el espacio. La colección incluye solamente los primeros cuentos de Calvino de este género. Puede haberse producido una confusión por el hecho de que otras tres colecciones de cuentos de Calvino, Ti con cero, La memoria del mundo y otras historias cosmicómicas y Cosmicómicas viejas y nuevas, fueron posteriormente reunidas y publicadas bajo el título global de Todas las cosmicómicas.
