The Path to the Spiders' Nest

The Path to the Spiders' Nest

Editorial Reviews
Independent on Sunday
The coarse eroticism and the political idealism...were excised from the first English translation and are now reinstated....Time has treated The Path to the Spiders' Nests well.

Times Literary Supplement
The [newly translated] preface is a remarkable piece of writing, a long, revealing, unquiet essay in intellectual autobiography, which should prove as rewarding to new readers as the spirited tale of the novel itself....The story reads well in Archibald Colquhoun's 1956 translation, now aptly and discreetly updated by McLaughlin, particularly in respect of numerous words and turns of phrase which are now misleading or meaningless....Calvino now has the status of a contemporary classic, devotedly studied and comprehensively admired.
