«Time and the Hunter» is Italo Calvino's collection of science fiction and fantasy stories, published by Picador in paperback (160 pages, in English).
In a series of stories, Calvino explores the paradoxes of space and time: separated lovers advancing along parallel routes without meeting, a hunter and a lion mutually trapped and pursued together in a reciprocal hunt. An inquiry into the human condition from scientific speculation and the fantastic.
The English translation by William Weaver won the John Florio Prize in 1971; the original was published as «Ti con zero» in 1967.
Aimed at readers of speculative fiction and short narrative with philosophical interest.
