First volume of an essential short story collection.
In this volume, readers will find all of Cortázar’s short story collections published between 1945 and 1966, along with a novelty: stories posthumously included in Papeles inesperados (2009) that, by title or date, could have belonged to them. La otra orilla, Bestiario, Las armas secretas, Final del juego, Historias de cronopios y de famas, and Todos los fuegos el fuego make up this first volume of Cortázar's complete short stories.
"In his stories, Cortázar didn’t experiment: he found, discovered, created something everlasting." —Mario Vargas Llosa
"Cortázar is one of the best Argentine writers." —Adolfo Bioy Casares
"Cortázar left us with a body of work perhaps unfinished, but as beautiful and indestructible as his memory." —Gabriel García Márquez
"He gave meaning to our modernity because he made it critical and inclusive, never complacent or exclusive." —Carlos Fuentes
