The man read the plot of the book with relish, but was burned by the gaze cast by the characters in the novel. Is the reincarnation of life a hopeless repetition of suffering, or the eternal shelter of ignorance? The band performance accidentally glimpsed in the cinema is an illusion disguised as an illusion, and it is also a truth higher than the truth; pure love turns into fingers raised to the sky, ending all possibilities of jealousy, tenderness and happiness..._X000D_
This volume includes famous works such as "Continuation in the Park", "A Yellow Flower", "Night, Upside to the Sky", which not only continues the wild imagination and bizarre and mysterious text structure of Cortázar's early short stories, but also presents his deeper examination and compassion for human nature and destiny. It is a representative work of Cortázar in the important transition period from his aesthetic stage to the metaphysical stage. _X000D_
Reader comments
The author's thoughts on human nature and destiny are also very profound, which gave me a lot of insights after reading it. Especially the continuation in the park made me feel the pleasure of being immersed in reading, as if I was also in the story. I think this book is very suitable for people who like to explore the unknown and think about life.
Cortázar's game world is coated with fantasy elements. Role identities are interchanged, order is out of control, nightmares are realized, fairy tale worlds, historical myths and reality are intertwined to explore deep issues such as human nature, existentialism and nihilism.
In "Park Sequel" reality and fantasy overlap like a Möbius strip. "Secret Door" is a surrealistic mixture of loneliness, loneliness, panic, hesitation and desire. The multi-perspective narratives of "Axolotl", "River", "Motive" and "Underwater Story" peek into different aspects of the same event from different perspectives. The complex and fragile interpersonal relationships in "After Dinner". The conflict of emotions in "The Band" ranges from resistance to change. "Friends" is a friendship wrapped up in reality. "Little Bull" The heart of a boxer. "Looking Up to the Sky at Night" is more like a poem, a mixture of dreams and reality, with the same ending - death! Break the boundaries between reality, dreams and memories. In "The End of the Game", "I, Leticia and Hollanda often play games of pretending to be statues and posing by the railway." A tragedy derived from fantasy and reality. Everyone plays their own game, and if they cross the line, they will be destroyed.
It's very interesting, both the plot and the narrative method are very interesting.
