The book arrived in perfect condition, with that expected new off=the-press smell to it.And to talk about the contents -- I was recommended that book from my Architecture course, and boy, was it exciting to read. The mysterious out-of-a-fairy-tale cities truly capture the architecture enthusiasts imagination. And even people who do not care much about the buildings around them, this book will transport you in a world of fantastic Spider-Web cities, Cities made out of signs, and so many more.Another fantastic thing about this book is the additional activity it can present for the eager reader: how about you try to depict those cities in the form of a painting, model, collage, illustration, anything really? Really joyful ride, and a quite easy read, without having to stress too much on the story, nor on keeping track of all the cities. Almost like a safari through the world of Marco Polo's cityscapes. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars a bold experiment *by T***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 April 2014* Invisible Cities on KindleThis book recounts conversations between the trader and explorer Marco Polo and the emperor Kublai Khan, about real and imagined cities. The book follows a strict mathematical structure, but it is decidedly unrealistic, at times a poetic and brilliantly described past, at times contemporary elements are dropped in. It is reminiscent of the Peter Greenaway short film A Walk Through H, and is perhaps best read as an elegant musing on the nature of cities and imagination.Reviews of this book tend to fall into two camps, on the one hand it is a brilliant piece of writing that should have earned the author a Nobel Prize, on the other it is a formless pretentious piece of ostentatious modernism that just does not work.I rather fall between the two camps, I read the whole book in half a dozen sessions, but my reaction alternated between the above two extremes. My initial impressions were amazement at just how good it was, the next time I read it, I was wondering just what had impressed me about it. It is certainly an impressive piece of writing, sitting with Pale Fire (Penguin Modern Classics) and A Void as bold experiments. However for most readers the test of a bold experiment is whether it remains readable, for me The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, Bad Day for the Sung Dynasty, The Following Story (Harvill Panther), and The Book of Sand and Shakespeare's Memory (Penguin Modern Classics) are equally bold but ultimately far more compelling. But each to their own, this is well worth reading, and it is the classic piece of modernist literature on cities. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Timely Amazon Delivery *by H***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 May 2024* Timely delivery with Amazon Prime, sturdy packaging with good protection, the book arrived in pristine condition, good-quality paper, a soft cover with a brightly coloured title page. Looking forward to reading it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Invisible Cities - If on a Winter's Night a Traveller: Italo Calvino - The Complete Cosmicomics (Penguin Modern Classics) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/54117038-invisible-cities](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/54117038-invisible-cities) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
