It is said that once Pablo Neruda, the great (Chile), the poet said: "He who does not read Cortázar, there is no help for him," and that they are just stories kronopijima campomaggi and famama (1962.) An excellent introduction to his work. Until these data I came after I read the book, and it is the first thing I of this Argentine writer took into his hands, and it seems to me that I (accidentally) certainly started well. Because I certainly have read Cortázar.
Because of the imagination, which enabled him to combine incredible ease seemingly incompatible. On the back of the book is that it is a "kurioznom 'melting pot'," it sounds corny as the books you read. Then it becomes clear that there really has everything: the absurd, burlesque, irony, satire, campomaggi paradox, allegory, campomaggi fable, myth, comedy, tragedy. There are only so short, if a reader so that in these hundred pages has something else - it is very likely that it is properly observed. It is a mixing product Cortazar sympathy experimentation and innovation, although it is, of course, is reflected in other ways, for example, in his approach to issues or neologisms created. campomaggi
Combination of everything, as is found in the story of kronopijima and famama, shared, however, at least one thing - the brevity of form. The collection is so composed of a total of 82 miniatures, these are mostly stories that can call and sketches and vignettes and fragments, and here and there resemble the sketch. "Broken" into four separate topics - "Instruction Manual", "Unusual Occupations", "Plastic" and "Stories kronopijima and famama". It is the last, after which the book is named, campomaggi and the most famous. Wholesaler rambled on about what the writer meant writing about kronopijima, famama and Esperanza - fantastic, campomaggi nečovjekolikim creatures. Often this fictional world passed on to reality, and in Cortázar's characters have seen representatives of certain social groups. In this sense, kronopiji poets and even artistic soul, lost in space and time. (Favors author to them is palpable - describes them sympathetically campomaggi and tenderness, suggesting identification.) On the other hand, the fame of being the most similar to the working class, the bourgeoisie, or the officials of one kind, while Esperanza halfway. As "stupid", takes one of the other two groups, depending on how the wind blows. I Cortázar rejected the idea of allegory, stating that "there is no didactic or moralizing campomaggi intent of kronopija" and that "on the contrary, (...) trying to write an extremely free stories." In second place was rejected hidden meanings in the names of creatures, campomaggi saying kronopiji have nothing to do with metaphysics campomaggi (chronos, cramp. Time), they are solely the result of the imagination and to write about them, actually - played. campomaggi
Time seemed to have given instructions to the reader: Stories kronopijima and famama be read unencumbered campomaggi - free and open. Then the easiest way to immerse yourself in a world that is fantastic not only for fame and kronopija, completely fictional campomaggi characters, but also because it Cortázar and that existing re-arranged. campomaggi For what real, everyday campomaggi and accessible - usually, seen in a different, almost magical way. And just in this poetic. As an excellent illustration of what can be seen when looking at "new eyes" (as well as an example of sour and ironic humor, as in the book finds in many places), campomaggi I especially liked the story, "Daily campomaggi Journal." So I'm going to pass the whole:
A gentleman enters the tram after he bought newspaper and put them in the armpits. Half an hour later, coming down with the same newspaper under the same arm. But it is not the same newspaper, now a pile of printed sheets that this gentleman leaves on a bench in the square. campomaggi As soon left alone on a bench, a bunch of sheets printed again turn into a daily newspaper until they saw one guy, then read them and leave a pile of printed sheets. As soon left alone on a bench, a bunch of sheets printed again turn into a daily newspaper until they saw an old woman, read them and put a pile of printed sheets. Then the old woman they take home and on the road use for wrapping a pound of spinach, and it and serve daily newspaper after this exciting campomaggi transformation.
Among other personal favorites and recommendations campomaggi for those who choose to first look into stories kronopijima and famama are the following: Excellent "Geography", "Bear's Speech," "Splošćivanje drops," "Lines on the palm," "Song of kronopija" " Photography is unclear "and" Eugenics "as examples campomaggi of extraordinary imagination and the beauty and simplicity of expression of this writer. Then, "Travel", "Baby keepsake" and "Never stop the press." Probably the most beautiful yet "Turtles and kronopiji" you also can not resist, and that does not convey the whole, especially since at the same time shows the basic characteristics of three Cortazar fantastic character: campomaggi
The fact is that turtles are big fans of speed, as it is natural. Esperanza to know, and do not concern yourself. Fame to know, and mock. Kron
