The Oracle of the Radiant Sun is a unique divinatory system that harnesses the power of astrology to provide in-depth readings. Using a deck of 84 full-color cards, the system describes the meaning of the sun and the six fastest-moving planets on their journey through the twelve houses and the twelve astrological signs. Each card is evocatively illustrated, and falls into one of seven suits, depicting first the Sun, then the Sun plus the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter or Saturn in each of the twelve zodiac signs. Accompanied by an illustrated book that helps users understand each card's imagery, the deck allows for a wide range of depth of interpretation, accommodating both beginners and experienced readers.

Few recent writers have been as interested in the cross-over between texts and visual art as Italo Calvino (1923-85). Involved for most of his life in the publishing industry, he took as much interest in the visual as in the textual aspects of his own and other writers' books. In this volume twenty international Calvino experts, including Barenghi, Battistini, Belpoliti, Hofstadter, Ricci, Scarpa and others, consider the many facets of the interplay between the visual and textual in Calvinos works, from the use of colours in his fiction to the influence of cartoons, from the graphic qualities of the book covers themselves to the significance of photography and landscape in his fiction and non-fiction. The volume is appropriately illustrated with images evoked by Calvino's major texts.
