Compiled by Italo Calvino, one of the essential writers of the twentieth century (and editor of the bestselling Italian Folktales), Fantastic Tales is a rich and wideranging collection of twentysix classic, uncanny tales from the nineteenth century written by an intriguing panoply of European and American authors. Master storyteller himself, Calvino has contributed an informative introduction to the collection, and an engaging prcis to each story.As Calvino writes in Fantastic Tales, which traces the genre from its roots in German Romanticism to the ghost stories of Henry James: The fantastic tale is one of the most characteristic products of nineteenthcentury narrative. For us, it is also one of the most significant. . . . As it relates to our sensibility today, the supernatural element at the heart of these stories always appears freighted with meaning, like the revolt of the unconscious, the repressed, the forgotten. . . . In this we see the modern dimension of the fantastic, the reason for its triumphant resurgence in our times.Fantastic Tales is a fantastically canonical anthology assembled by an editor who, in the words of Salman Rushdie, possesses the power of seeing into the deepest recesses of human minds and then bringing their dreams back to life. Italo Calvinos works include The Road to San Giovanni, Numbers in the Dark, Six Memos for the Next Millennium, The Baron in the Trees, If On a Winters Night a Traveler, Invisible Cities, and Mr. Palomar. Calvino died in 1985.

Disappointed by the Expectations
I was excited to read 'Visionary and Everyday' based on the description, but I was a bit let down. Some stories didn't make much sense and the transitions were jarring. It has its moments, but overall, I expected more from Fantastic Tales.

Mixed Feelings on the Stories
I found some stories in 'Visionary and Everyday' really engaging, while others didn't quite resonate with me. It's a good mix of styles, but a few felt a bit too abstract. Still, it's a charming book to have on the shelf for occasional reading.
