«Colección de arena» is Italo Calvino's collection of articles and essays, published by Siruela in paperback (312 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together articles and short texts that Calvino wrote for the Italian press, in which a curious observer visits museums in Paris, excavations in Tuscany, zen gardens in Kyoto and monuments in Palenque and Persepolis. Through this gaze, the author reflects on objects, works of art, images and on the form of time, selecting and breaking down what he sees like a collector.
The text is organised into four sections: «Exposiciones-exploraciones», «El rayo de la mirada», «Exploración de lo fantástico» and «La forma del tiempo». Its original title is «Collezione di sabbia» (1984).
For readers interested in the essay, art and travel, and for followers of Italo Calvino.
