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.

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.

Book was listed as in "Very Good" condition. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was more in a "Like New" condition. Very pleased about this. Not so thrilled about paying US$53.94 + tax for the book. This has nothing to do with the seller. This is a rare item and this price would be considered a bargain price seeing that it is almost impossible to find a copy of this used book anywhere else. Great transaction. Well packed for shipping too. Thank you!
