Can anyone recommend me any clear books on following topics: algebraic geometry and Calabi-Yau manifolds?

I am studying theoretical physics. Currently I feel need for getting some understanding of algebraic geometry and Calabi-Yau manifolds (knowing almost nothing about either algebraic geometry and commutative algebra or complex geometry, though having studied a lot of general relativity, hence Riemannian geometry, and some symplectic geometry through Hamiltonian mechanics).

I remember reading some very clearly written books, which helped me getting into subjects (such as Seifert and Threlfall's "Topology", Milnor's books, Arnold's "ODE", "Modern Geometric Structures and Fields" by Novikov and Taimanov). Could you recommend me books with that kind of teaching material, which both is clear and treats quite big parts of the subjects i want to study? It will be especially good if there is one with some examples from physics.
