Se abre con la inquietante melancolía de \"Cambio de luces\" y culmina con la violencia policial de \"La noche de Mantequilla\". Cortázar no sólo crea climas y situaciones irrepetibles, también es capaz de sorprender con proezas estilísticas como \"Usted se tendió a tu lado\", donde la historia se narra simultáneamente en dos registros distintos; o de rescatar un cuento escrito en los años cincuenta -\"La barca o nueva visita a Venecia\"-, intercalando comentarios que lo cargan de ironía y matices infinitos.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eENGLISH DESCRIPTION\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eEleven stories confirming Cortázar's status as Argentina's great storyteller.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \"In chess and in love, there are instants in which the fog clears, and it is then that moves are made that would have seemed inconceivable a second before.\"\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eSomeone Out There\u003c\/i\u003e (1977) is a collection of eleven stories in which Cortázar again outdoes himself. It opens with the unsettling melancholy of \"Cambio de luces\" [A Change of Light] and closes with the police brutality depicted in \"La noche de Mantequilla\" [Mantequilla's Night]. A master not only of quirky settings and situations, Cortázar is capable of stylistic feats such as \"Usted se tendió a tu lado\" [They Lay Down at Your Side], in which the narrative is presented in two voices simultaneously, or reviving a story originally written in the 1950s --\"La barca o nueva visita a Venecia\" [The Ferry, or Another Trip to Venice] - and sprinkling it with commentary that imbues it with irony and infinite nuances.  ","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52397455442193,"sku":"GOR014516777","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52929137049873,"sku":"GOR014657535","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53598976213265,"sku":"CIN9505112203G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789505112203.jpg?v=1786095723"},{"product_id":"las-armas-secretas-the-secret-weapons-book-cortzar-julio-9789505111930","title":"Las armas secretas \/ The Secret Weapons","description":"\u003cb\u003e«Que la música salve por lo menos el resto de la noche, y cumpla a fondo una de sus peores misiones, la de ponernos un buen biombo delante del espejo, borrarnos del mapa durante un par de horas».\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eLas armas secretas\u003c\/i\u003e (1964) reúne cinco cuentos que forman parte de la mejor tradición del género.
