La invencion de Morel / The Invention of Morel

Adolfo Bioy Casares

La gran novela de amor y aventuras de Adolfo Bioy Casares, que definio con ella el curso de la literatura argentina.

Hito de la literatura fantastica, La invencion de Morel (1940) es una novela de amor y aventuras sobre los extranos acontecimientos que descubre un fugitivo al llegar a una isla desierta, en la que de pronto se manifiestan habitantes espectrales.

Gracias a la brillante imaginacion De Adolfo Bioy Casares, lo inexplicable hallara su razon de ser en un asombroso postulado cientifico, pero entretanto el narrador caera presa de sus impulsos mas irracionales, hasta vislumbrar no solo la realizacion de una pasion imposible, sino una suerte de inmortalidad.

Sobre la obra: No me parece una imprecision o una hiperbole calificarla de perfecta . Jorge Luis Borges

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Jorge Luis Borges declared The Invention of Morel a masterpiece of plotting, comparable to The Turn of the Screw and Journey to the Center of the Earth.

Set on a mysterious island, Bioy’s novella is a story of suspense and exploration, as well as a wonderfully unlikely romance, in which every detail is at once crystal clear and deeply mysterious.

Inspired by Bioy Casares’s fascination with the movie star Louise Brooks, The Invention of Morel has gone on to live a secret life of its own. Greatly admired by Julio Cortazar, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Octavio Paz, the novella helped to usher in Latin American fiction’s now famous postwar boom.
