@Federock: to tempt you (if it’s needed) to watch the movie, I can tell you that the beautiful Natalie Portman is in the leading role; I know that back then this was a big deal for my friends!!

Yes, Flo, he initially wrote "Sixty Stories" (winner of the Strega Prize in 1958 for literature) and later included much of it in the anthology "The Boutique of Mystery" - from WIKIPEDIA: "The collection arises from the author's intent to showcase the best of his production. In fact, the thirty-one writings included had previously been published in other collections (The Seven Messengers, Fear at the Scala, The Collapse of the Baliverna, At that precise moment, Sixty Stories, and The Colomber). The stories in 'The Boutique of Mystery' best represent all the themes most dear to the author, such as solitude, fear, anguish, and various paradoxes of contemporary life, narrated in a magical and surreal style" - Personally and conceptually, I feel much more connected to the Stories... For me, he is U N I Q U E. - sorry for the repetition, but without quotation marks, it didn't make any sense...

Yes Flo, he initially wrote "Sessanta Racconti" (winner of the Premio Strega in 1958 for literature) and later incorporated much of it into the anthology "La Boutique del Mistero" - from WIKIPEDIA: The collection arises from the author's intent to showcase the best of his work. In fact, the thirty-one writings included had been previously published in other collections (I sette messaggeri, Paura alla Scala, Il crollo della Baliverna, In quel preciso momento, Sessanta racconti, and Il colombre). The stories in "La boutique del mistero" best represent all the themes dear to the author, such as solitude, fear, angst, and various paradoxes of contemporary life, narrated with a magical and surreal style. I am emotionally and conceptually much more attached to the Tales... For me, he is U N I Q U E.

Nice review, very current, rather than...

Beautiful review, undisputable film.

@Earphone: yeah.. in fact, I try not to think about it.

I am very attached to this CD from an emotional standpoint. So I know I can't be completely objective and clear-headed. To me, this work is a monolith.. Period. Beautiful review.

Nice there, Alfrè!

I didn't know you and I was very intrigued. The review is beautiful, the links too :)

Dear Doctor, you still manage to amaze me...........
