From Calvino's introduction: "The fantastic tale is one of the most characteristic products of the nineteenth-century narrative. For us, it is also one of the most significant because it is the genre that tells us the most about the inner life of the individiual and about collectively held symbols. . . . the supernatural element at the heart of these stories always appear freighted with meaning, like the revolt of the unconscious, the repressed, the forgotten, all that is distanced from our rational attention."
