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.

Reviews
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.

His genius here lies in the knack for constructing striking, artistically 'right' subordinate circumstances out of which his fantastic and metaphysical whimsies appear normally to spring." -- Saturday Review, Praise for Blow-Up and Other Stories : "[Cortazar] is a unique storyteller.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
