Acantilado Sesenta relatos
Reunidos por el propio Buzzati en 1958, los Sesenta relatos vienen a constituir la auténtica summa de su mundo poético. En ellos abarca toda la gama de sus motivos: la visión surreal de la vida, el horror por la ciudad, los automatismos existenciales y la sugestión metafísica, en un conjunto de narraciones diversas que siempre logran sorprender al lector. El relato, género contenido y exigente por definición, se presta de maravilla a la habilidad narrativa de Buzzati, maestro indiscutible de la forma breve, capaz de traducir en juego, tragedia o misterio situaciones en apariencia banales o evidentes, mientras juega con lo fabuloso y lo imaginario para crear narraciones únicas e intemporales. Italo Calvino lo consideró uno de nuestros autores más sólidos y que mejor han resistido el paso de los años.

Acantilado El colombre
En El colombre hay monstruos marinos que persiguen a los hombres con propósitos inesperados, ángeles extravagantes que proponen a Dios la creación de la especie humana, extraños fenómenos que causan la muerte a los mayores líderes del mundo; hasta cuarenta y seis historias extraordinarias, llenas de seres imaginarios y reales, contemporáneos e intemporales, siempre enigmáticos, a las que asistimos con el encanto de quien escucha a un mágico narrador a la luz de fuego, y en las que descubrimos, sorprendidos, una profundidad auténticamente metafísica, una ferviente interrogación sobre el indescifrable destino de los hombres.

Nórdica Libros Siete plantas
Siete plantas es uno de los más conocidos y mejores relatos de Dino Buzzati. Un libro esencial que nos hará reflexionar y que contiene tanta información sobre aspectos concretos de la actitud de los seres humanos ante la enfermedad y la muerte, así como sobre ciertas maneras, nada recomendables, de practicar la medicina en el marco de una institución cerrada, que constituye un excelente material pedagógico.Una demoledora crítica de la maquinaria que, se supone, debe estar a cargo de velar por lasalud de los enfermos.

Alma Books Ltd Catastrophe and Other Stories
This volume brings together twenty of the best stories written by Dino Buzzati - author of the celebrated novel The Tartar Steppe and one of the most original voices in twentieth-century literature - stories which show the Italian master's taste for the bizarre and the humorous, and for exploring the darker recesses of the human psyche. From `The Collapse of the Baliverna', where a man is racked with guilt at the thought that he might have been responsible for the loss of many lives, to `The Epidemic', which describes the spread of a "state influenza" contracted only by people who don't step into line with the government, and `Terror at the Scala', where the higher echelons of Milan society are gripped with the fear of an impending revolution - these stories show how strange and unexpected events can creep into everyday life and draw ordinary people towards mystery, disquiet and, ultimately, catastrophe.

Canongate Books The Tartar Steppe
Idealistic young officer Giovanni Drogo is full of determination to serve his country well. But when he arrives at a bleak border station in the Tartar desert, where he is to take a short assignment at Fort Bastiani, he finds the castle manned by veteran soldiers who have grown old without seeing a trace of the enemy. As his length of service stretches from months into years, he continues to wait patiently for the enemy to advance across the desert, for one great and glorious battle . . . Written in 1938 as the world waited for war, and internationally acclaimed since its publication, The Tartar Steppe is a provocative and frightening tale of hope, longing and the terrible sorcery of dreams and desires.
