En Rayuela (1963), Julio Cortázar supo condensar sus obsesiones estéticas, literarias y vitales a partir de un mosaico diverso, profundo, inagotable que, a su vez, refleja de forma maravillosa lo más esencial de su época. El amor turbulento de Oliveira y La Maga, los amigos del Club de la Serpiente, las impredecibles caminatas por París -la ciudad que promete el cielo pero puede conducir al infierno-, encuentran su contracara en la aventura protagonizada por Oliveira, Talita y Traveler en Buenos Aires.

Todos los relatos de uno de los más importantes escritores contemporáneos en español.

Un misterioso edificio construido en una isla en 1924, un diario escrito por un fugitivo encerrado en sí mismo que se enamora de una mujer impasible, y un comentarista que lo desautoriza en distintas notas al pie. Para la mayoría de los lectores —y qué difícil sería desmentirlos—, La invención de Morel es la obra maestra de Adolfo Bioy Casares, una novela con componentes filosóficos tan potente que llegó a influir, especialmente por medio de Lost, sobre el universo aún en boga de las series.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.
