«Contes escrits a màquina» is the short story collection by Gianni Rodari, published by Estrella Polar in paperback (216 pages, in Catalan).
Short stories that start from absurd situations and impossible hypotheses: aliens who want to steal the Leaning Tower of Pisa, a crocodile entering a radio contest, a man who turns into a fish to face the sinking of Venice, and the wedding of the president of Venus with Miss Universe. Humour and imagination combine to invite readers to explore the limits of fantasy.
Part of the Vostok collection, translated by Francesc Sales Coderch. The original Italian title is «Novelle fatte a macchina», first published in 1973.
For readers aged 12 and up looking for short stories with humour and fantasy.
Giovanni Francesco "Gianni" Rodari was an Italian writer and journalist, most famous for his works of children's literature, notably Il romanzo di Cipollino. For his lasting contribution as a children's author, he received the biennial Hans Christian Andersen Medal in 1970. He is considered Italy's most important 20th-century children's author, and his books have been translated into many languages, though few have been published in English.
