Overview
«Bioy inventaba un suceso y se proponía un efecto y dejaba que la escritura fuese revelando sus epifanías». Abelardo Castillo
En los catorce relatos de Historias fantásticas se encuentra concentrado el talento de Adolfo Bioy Casares para combinar el género fantástico, los juegos literarios y la observación de lo cotidiano. Las narraciones incluyen planteamientos tan intrigantes como la posibilidad de detener el tiempo para alargarle la vida a una enferma terminal, la proyección del recuerdo de una mujer muerta en la memoria de su enamorado o el viaje de un aviador a una realidad paralela mediante unas extrañas maniobras. Con cuentos que han hecho historia en la literatura hispanoamericana, el conjunto sigue siendo un festival de inteligencia, imaginación y maestría narrativa.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“Bioy invented situations, proposed an effect, and allowed the resulting epiphanies to be revealed in his writing.” - Abelardo Castillo
The fourteen tales in Fantastic Stories reveal Bioy Casares’s talent for blending fantasy, literary playfulness and everyday life. Among the intriguing premises he poses are the ability to stop time to extend the life of a terminally ill patient; the projection of a dead woman’s memory in the mind of her lover; and a pilot who discovers a series of aerial maneuvers for crossing into an alternate reality. Justly famous in the annals of Latin American literature, these selections are a festival of intelligence, imagination and masterful storytelling.
