Overview
«El amor –en Bioy Casares– es una percepción privilegiada, la más total y lúcida, no sólo de la irrealidad del mundo, sino de la nuestra». —Octavio Paz
En los dieciocho relatos antologados en Historias de amor, Adolfo Bioy Casares explora el tema de las relaciones amorosas a través de una gran variedad de situaciones y argumentos. Encontraremos aquí la pervivencia de una mujer en la memoria de dos rivales, el destino de un hombre que pierde lo que tiene sin conseguir lo que desea, la sorpresa vinculada a los comienzos de un romance, la defensa de la intimidad por medio del crimen o la reconciliación de dos amantes al cabo de cien años de hibernación. Con una mezcla encantadora de fantasía, humor y humanidad, los textos alzan un espejo ante el sentimiento universal del amor, al tiempo que pintan experiencias vívidas y concretas.
