Una colección de relatos inolvidables de una de las figuras más importantes de la literatura en español
En estos diez relatos insuperables hay variantes para todos los paladares de lectura: rituales públicos y privados, pesadillas que surgen a plena luz del día, cruces imperceptibles entre la realidad y la imaginación, humor, violencia y melancolía.
Desde la exquisita ambigüedad de «Orientación de los gatos» a la perfecta construcción lógica de «Anillo de Moebius», desfilan los temas que Cortázar ha sabido, como pocos, convertir en literatura de antología: los sueños, los gatos, los cuadros, el tiempo, la música, las infinitas trampas del lenguaje. Y ese sabor persistente e indefinible que, como en toda gran obra, está más allá de cualquier fórmula.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A collection of unforgettable stories by one of the most important figures in Spanish-language literature.
In these ten masterful stories there are alternatives for all reading tastes: public and private rituals, nightmares that arise in broad daylight, invisible intersections between reality and imagination, humor, violence, and melancholy.
From exquisite ambiguities in Orientation of the Cats to disquieting structures in Moebius Strip, in this anthology we get an array of themes that Cortazar has masterfully turned into great literature: dreams, cats, paintings, time, music, and the endless pitfalls of language. As in all great works, he writes with a persistent and indefinable feeling that goes beyond any formula.
