Libro de Manuel / A Manual for Manuel

Julio Cortazar

Libro de Manuel es la gran novela politica de Julio Cortazar.

Libro de Manuel (1973) es una sintesis polemica de las busquedas esteticas de Cortazar y de su interes por los movimientos revolucionarios de aquellos anos. Puede leerse como un desplazamiento natural de los personajes y los temas de Rayuela hacia las urgencias y los fervores de un mundo convulsionado. Pero conserva de aquella novela fundamental toda la fantasia, el desenfado y la frescura que han hecho de Cortazar un escritor unico e irrepetible dentro del panorama literario del siglo XX.

Resena:
Cortazar es uno de los mejores escritores argentinos.
Adolfo Bioy Casares

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This, Cortazar’s great political novel, focuses on the political condition of Latin America. It is a controversial blend of his aesthetic searches and his interest in the revolutionary movements of those times. This manual for the child Manuel is a sort of collage of press clippings, and among other things it reveals torture techniques used by U.S. soldiers in the Far East and juxtaposes them to similar tortures suffered by Latin American political prisoners.
