Book Synopsis
«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. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Love -for Bioy Casares- is a privileged perception, the most complete and lucid one possible, not only of the world's unreality, but also our own."--Octavio Paz In the eighteen stories in this anthology, Adolfo Bioy Casares explores romantic relationships through a variety of plots and situations. These include a woman's enduring impact on the memories of two rivals for her affections; the fate of a man who loses all he has without getting what he wants; the sense of surprise that characterizes the beginning of a romance; a crime committed to protect a couple's intimacy; and a pair of lovers who reunite after a hundred years. An enchanting mix of fantasy, humor and humanity, the stories in this collection reflect universal themes in the form of vivid and concrete experiences.About the Author
