Book Description

Narrativa (Punto de Lectura) January 30, 2009
Written with the enthusiasm of the very genius, the eighteen short stories that compose Final del juego constitute so many experiments of perfection. All the stories are gripping to the end, but ''No se culpe a nadie'', ''El rio'', ''Axolotl'' and ''La noche boca arriba'' deserve special mention. It also includes the story Los venenos which he considered autobiographical. This volume constitutes an excellent way to approach one of the best writers of the 20th century.

Description in Spanish:
Escritos en el entusiasmo del propio genio, los dieciocho relatos que componen Final del juego constituyen otros tantos experimentos en la perfeccion: en pocas paginas ellos solos se ponen las condiciones y ellos solos las cumplen. El ajuste interno hace que los relatos de Cortazar parezcan sencillos, mientras se leen. Pero luego descubrimos en nuestro interior una marana de sensaciones nuevas, de ideas que nunca habiamos pensado, de instrucciones distintas para ver la realidad. Ha terminado el juego y la literatura nos deja frente a la vida que acaba de cambiar.

5.0 out of 5 stars A remarkable collection of short masterpieces, June 8, 2000
By A Customer
"Final de Juego" (or Endgame) is one of the most remarkable books in Julio Cortazar's vast bibliography. A collection of 18 short stories, this book is a clear example of Cortazar's genius and mastery as a story teller. All the stories are gripping to the end, but "No se culpe a nadie" (Do not blame anyone), "El rio" (The river), "Axolotl" and "La noche boca arriba" (The night facing up), deserve special mention. Cortazar's style was truly revolutionary, and he managed to shake the literary establishment becoming an obligatory reference and an influence on many writers, both in Latin America and in the rest of the world. This volume constitutes an excellent way to approach one of the best writers of the Twentieth Century.

5.0 out of 5 stars Genial, March 10, 2006
Es uno de los mejores libros que he leido nunca. Me gusta la literatura latinoamericana en general y creo que Cortazar es uno de sus mejores representadores. Los Venenos, Final del Juego y El Rio son los cuentos que mas me gustaron. Recomiendo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente obra de un maestro de la pluma., March 25, 2000
By A Customer
Final del juego es uno de los primeros libros de cuentos de Cortazar, en este se encuentran cuentos ya clasicos como "No se culpe a nadie", "El rio" y "Axolotl". Cortazar tiene la maravillosa propiedad de hacerte llevar a un lugar magico, que va mas alla de los sueños y este libro lo refleja. Si le gusta cortazar, compre este libro o aun mejor, compre "Cuentos completos 1" que contiene a este libro. No hace falta decir que la obra maestra de Cortazar es "Rayuela", asi que si este libro le gusto, "Rayuela" lo atrapara aun mas.
