About this product
Product Information
A young girl spends her summer vacation in a country house where a tiger roams . . . A man reading a mystery finds out too late that he is the murderer's intended victim . . . Originally published in hardcover as End of the Game and Other Stories, the fifteen stories collected here--including "Blow-Up," which was the basis for Michelangelo Antonioni's film of the same name--shows Julio Cort zar's nimble capacity to explore the shadowy realm where the everyday meets the mysterious, perhaps even the terrible.

Praise for Blow-Up and Other Stories : "[Cortazar] is a unique storyteller. He can induce the kind of chilling unease that strikes like a sound in the night." - Time "Julio Cortazar is a stunning writer. It is difficult to imagine how he could improve as a writer of short stories." - The Christian Science Monitor "A glittering showcase for a daring talent . . . Julio Cortazar is a dazzler." -William Hogan, San Francisco Chronicle "A first-class literary imagination at work." - The New York Times Book Review, Praise for Blow-Up and Other Stories: "[Cortazar] is a unique storyteller.

Wish I had 10 stars to give -- The book I bought is paperback, very small, and not expensive -- but it came wrapped with such good care, it would have been impossible to arrive damaged in any way. You would have thought I bought a $100 book! Recommend this seller very highly -- I would definitely check this shop's listings first before buying elsewhere. Thank you! Tanya (also arrived super fast)
