When the last fire goes out, time too will be finished Taken from his Collection of Sand, these marvelous essays are not great ideas in themselves but commentaries on great ideas and the physical remains they have left behind them- astonishing objects and human-made places which have encapsulated different senses of wonder and desire. The essays range from fire-temples to world-changing maps, from automata to ancient cities. And, not least, the great enigma that has sat at the heart of Rome for some 1,900 years- Trajan's Column.

and focussing on the first essay:
In ‘How New the New World Was’, Calvino explores how the 15th century discovery of the New World impacted how Europeans ‘experienced’ the world. He had been to a 1975 exhibition in Paris: ‘America Seen by Europe‘, which comprised 350 paintings, prints and objects representing European images of the New World, from the earliest period after the voyages of Columbus.
