If you're an English [native] speaker, The Baron in the Trees just received a very nice new English translation (published by Penguin on their Vintage Classics imprint in the UK). I love Calvino so much as an writer, but that's probably my favourite and the one…
…including his "Heart of a Dog". Also try Italo Calvino, his short stories are especially good. Calvino writes in many different literary styles, and magical realism is often at the core of his stories. "The Baron In The Trees" was one of the first books I read by him. For when you have the mental space, a rather interesting / meta Calvino book: If on a Winter's Night a Traveler
I adore Italo Calvino. Even his less popular works, like The Baron In The Trees, move me. Invisibile Cities, If on a winter’s night a traveler, are even better. That being said, I almost feel like this author is taking him too seriously. Like Kurt Vonnegut, Joseph Heller, and many…
Every few years I come back to " The Baron In The Trees" and "Palomar", my favorite books from Calvino. Highly recommend, he has a certain way with words. Doesn't take himself seriously but still ponders deeply about things we all can relate.
我逢人就推伊塔洛·卡尔维诺。在我看来他是一位被低估的意大利作家。《树上的男爵》或《看不见的城市》都是很好的入门之作。
I always recommend Italo Calvino. An underrated Italian writer IMHO. The Baron In The Trees or the Invisible Cities are a good start.
读完《看不见的城市》之后我就入坑了伊塔洛·卡尔维诺，那本太棒了。我现在正在读《树上的男爵》。
I’ve been getting into Italo Calvino after reading Invisible Cities, which was great. Right now I’m reading The Baron in the Trees.
如果你习惯读英文，那《树上的男爵》刚好出了很不错的英文新译本（由企鹅在英国的 Vintage Classics 书系出版）。作为作家我超爱卡尔维诺，但这本大概是我的最爱，也是那本……

……包括他的《狗心》。也可以读读伊塔洛·卡尔维诺，他的短篇尤其出彩。卡尔维诺擅长驾驭各种各样的文学风格，魔幻现实主义往往是他故事的核心。《树上的男爵》是我读他的第一批书之一。等你脑子有空闲的时候，可以看看一本相当有趣、充满元小说的卡尔维诺作品：《如果在冬夜，一个旅人》

我超爱伊塔洛·卡尔维诺。哪怕是他那些没那么红的作品，比如《树上的男爵》，也深得我心。《看不见的城市》、《如果在冬夜，一个旅人》就更胜一筹了。话虽如此，我总觉得这位作者有点太把他当正经严肃文学来对待了。就像库尔特·冯内古特、约瑟夫·海勒，还有很多……

每隔几年我都会重温《树上的男爵》和《帕洛马尔》，这是我最喜欢的卡尔维诺作品。强烈推荐，他在遣词造句上确实有一套。不把自己太当回事，却又能对我们所有人都能共鸣的事物进行深思。
