A Plan for Escape is an extraordinary fable about freedom and human happiness in times of oppression. In this novel, Adolfo Bioy Casares wonders whether a man locked in a cell can feel free and truly happy. The perverse idea that takes roots from the tortuous mind of the governor Castel – the absolute master of the islands of the convicted – is to modify parts of the brains of some of the prisoners in order to give them new sensory experiences. A Plan for Escape is a book full of symbols and ideas that unfold in an imaginative and riveting prose, by one of the great narrators of the 20th century.
