Kurzbeschreibung
Horacio Oliveira is an Argentinian writer who lives in Paris with his mistress, La Maga, surrounded by a loose-knit circle of bohemian friends who call themselves "the Club." A child's death and La Maga's disappearance put an end to his life of empty pleasures and intellectual acrobatics, and prompt Oliveira to return to Buenos Aires, where he works by turns as a salesman, a keeper of a circus cat which can truly count, and an attendant in an insane asylum. Hopscotch is the dazzling, free-wheeling account of Oliveira's astonishing adventures.

rayuela, as is the name in Spanish of this magnificent novel, makes us think about game, the supreme activity to distract the mind and to create, and that is exactly what the author is doing here, playing with the reader, taunting him/her to follow through the galleries of his creative mind, to find amid the pieces the jewel of creation.... LUIS MENDEZ luismendez@codetel.net.do
Format:Taschenbuch
Saying that Hopscotch is "Cortazar's masterpiece...the first great novel of Spanish America" (Times Literary Supplement) is putting it mildly - I would start with a mere "absolute literary classic of all times and spaces". The saga of Horacio Oliveira, the story's protagonist, is delivered as how-I-am-chez-moi and how-I-am-au-dehors, displaying at once the situation endured by many post-WWII Latin Americans who dreamed about changing world (and ended up constructing infinite realities of themselves elsewhere, in nostalgic and melancholic scenarios), while portraying such universal themes of past, present and future on one end, and identity, behaviour, dreams, hopes, illusions... And imagination, on the other. Cortázar's grandiosity, as shown in Hopscotch, is literature's first novel ever written in hypertextual (non-linear) prose (emphasis: this was way before the Internet), wherein the reader, more active than ever, is the very author of the perfect circles with no closure (or a Derridean abyss, if you will), set where conversation and jazz are what you hear, smoke and Buenos Aires are what you smell, liquor and Paris are what you taste, La Maga is what you touch, and dreams and surreality are what you see. In the (non)end, this universal classic is written to be whatever you want it to be - and you can grant it unlimited identities here, there, everywhere.
Format:Taschenbuch
Cortázar tells us about the life of a group of bohemian artists in Paris and in Buenos Aires. Days and pages go through a mess of jazz, alcohol, cigarettes, literature, with no particular direction. There is no plot. In many ways, this books reflects a rather ordinary life, only that it can seem extraordinary if it is watched through Cortázar's eyes. This book is an extraordinary look at ordinary things, although sometimes it may seem too pretentious and confusing.

One of the best Novels of the Century
Rayuela was published in 1963 and changed the conception we had about literature. At first just saw as one of the Latin American "Boom" Generation, it soon turned out... Lesen Sie weiter...

It's just OK
Oliveira is completely lost, and so are Etienne, Gregorovius and the rest of the Club. Problem is they all talk like one person, you can hardly see the difference. Lesen Sie weiter...

My favorite book
I have read "Hopscotch" three times in a span of 30 years. Each time I read it I found new meanings and more layers. It helps that my first language is Spanish. Lesen Sie weiter...

Unforgetable
I read Hopscotch four years ago and still can't get it out of my head. Cortazar's allusions alone can lead to the reading list of a lifetime, but his wry humor and self-deprecating... Lesen Sie weiter...
