Roman, kotoryj sam Kortasar nazyval "svoim urodlivym, no ljubimym rebenkom". Roman, v kotorom velikij argentinskij pisatel usilil i dovel do logicheskogo predela stilisticheskie i esteticheskie printsipy, sformirovannye v "Igre v klassiki". Chitat eto proizvedenie mozhno bukvalno - kak postmodernistskuju istoriju o Gorode-Vavilone i ego raznojazykikh, raznomentalnykh obitateljakh, mozhno - otvlechenno, kak prichudlivuju filosofskuju pritchu-parabolu o vlijanii Slova na chelovecheskoe soznanie, a mozhno i s udovolstviem otyskivat v etom elegantnom proizvedenii motivy literaturnoj igry.

Khulio Kortasar. Pervyj iz "zolotoj troitsy" latinoamerikanskoj prozy serediny XX veka Kortasar - Borkhes - Markes. Pisatel, balansirujuschij na grani realnosti i fantastiki, magicheskogo realizma i sjurrealizma, neprevzojdennyj master ispanojazychnoj literatury, ne vpisyvajuschijsja v uzkie ramki opredelenij i zhanrov. "Igra v klassiki". Kniga, kotoruju literaturnye kritiki traditsionno sravnivajut s "Igroj v biser" Germana Gesse i s "Ulissom" Dzhejmsa Dzhojsa. Kniga, schitajuschajasja svoeobraznym etalonom magicheskogo realizma." Igra v klassiki". Tekst v tekste. Roman, v kotorom misticheskie otkrovenija podlezhat zhestkoj klassifikatsii, a obychnye sobytija obretajut glubinnyj, mnogourovnevyj smysl. Kniga, bez kotoroj ne bylo by ne tolko Faulza i Koelo, no dazhe i "pozdnego" Markesa!

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.

A collection of masterful short stories in Julio Cortazar's sophistocated, powerful and gripping style.'Julio Cortázar is truly a sorcerer and the best of him is here, in these hilariously fraught and almost eerily affecting stories' Kevin BarryA grieving family home becomes the site of a terrifying invasion. A frustrated love triangle, brought together by a plundered Aztec idol, spills over into brutality. A lodger’s inability to stop vomiting bunny rabbits inspires a personal confession. As dream melds into reality, and reality melts into nightmare, one constant remains throughout these thirty-five stories: the singular brilliance of Julio Cortazar’s imagination. WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY KEVIN BARRY ‘Anyone who doesn't read Cortázar is doomed’ Pablo Neruda

Julio Cortazar's crazed masterpiece, the forbearer of the Latin Boom in the 1960s - published in Vintage Classics for the first time'Cortazar's masterpiece. This is the first great novel of Spanish America... A powerful anti-novel but, like deeply understood moments in life itself, rich with many kinds of potential meanings and intimations' Times Literary SupplementDazed by the disappearance of his muse, Argentinian writer Horatio Oliveira wanders the bridges of Paris, the sounds of jazz and the talk of literature, life and art echoing around him. But a chance encounter with a literary idol and his new work – a novel that can be read in random order – sends Horatio’s mind into further confusion. As a return to Buenos Aires beckons, Horatio’s friend and fellow artist, Traveler, awaits his arrival with dread –the lives of these two young writers now ready to play out in an inexhaustible game of indeterminacy.

Novellemesteren fra Buenos AiresJulio Cortázars fascination for metroen begyndte, dahan som 8-9-årig jævnligt tog med sin bedstemor fraforstaden Banfield ind til Buenos Aires for at aflæggevisit hos nogle venner. For dernede, i underverdenen, er alting anderledes. Lugtene, lydene og det matte, døde lys – et fastfrosset, moderne helvede. En sort handske på en metalstang, der umærkeligt sniger sig ind på en brun handske. Et møde i en rude mellem tospejlbilleder. En passagerkontrol, der afslører, at der ved dagens slutning er gået flere mennesker ned i metroen, end der er kommet op igen; og en mand, dersætter sig for at opklare mysteriet.

V predislovii k romanu avtor predlagaet chitatelju samostojatelno skonstruirovat knigu iz proizvolno vybrannykh detalej povestvovanija. Ved vse oni - goroda, ljudi, chuvstva - lish elementy konstruktora, iz kotorogo mozhno sozdat vse, chto ugodno. Vse, na chto u chitatelja khvatit sil, vozmozhnostej i fantazii.
