Presentació de "Cortazar" de Jesús Marchamalo i Marc Torices

Julio Cortázar, thin and lanky, black hair, indomitable, beard, horn-rimmed glasses and a face of aneternal teenager. One of the most recognized and dearest contemporary authors, and one of the essential names of the Latin American boom. This illustrated biography takes us through the most relevant and enlightening episodes of his life thanks to Jesus Marchamalo and Marc Torices. We can follow as some sort of privileged witnesses a good part of his world and his literature: his readings and journeys, his childhood, his friends, his first writings, jazz, Paris and his long walks with La Maga and his love for cats.
An essential portrait of the author of Rayuela, full of complicity and admiration.
No one had ever shown us this before.
