Editorial Reviews

Review
LA INVENCIoN de MOREL narra una extrana historia de amor protagonizada por un hombre y una mujer que viven existencias incompatibles en espacios y tiempos rivales. En ella, el talento de Adolfo Bioy Casares despliega una odisea de prodigios que, si en un primer momento no parecen admitir otra clave que la alucinacion o el simbolo, son luego plenamente descifrados mediante un solo postulado fantastico, pero no sobrenatural. ""He discutido con su autor -escribe Jorge Luis Borges en el prologo que abre el volumen- los pormenores de su trama, la he releido; no me parece una imprecision o una hiperbole calificarla de perfecta. --Los editores --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un libro atrapante, October 10, 2000
By Damian E. Vila (Madrid, Spain) - See all my reviews
Primero y principal, aquellas personas que se encuentren interesadas en este libro deben saber que fue escrito en 1940. Desde esa perspectiva podemos darnos cuenta que la trama describe claramente lo que hoy en día se conoce como realidad virtual. Este aspecto ya resulta fascinante, pero eso no es todo. Bioy Casares se propuso escribir una novela que conservara el ritmo y llamara el interés del lector. En este punto es comparable con muchos buenos libros policiales de la época. Para lograr este resultado sostuvo una serie de entrevistas con Jorge Luis Borges, quien lo asesoró en diversos aspectos del desarrollo (además escribió el prologo que acompañó al libro en numerosas ediciones). Por otro lado el libro también trata de una fuga y de la soledad que debe soportar un hombre, quien siendo libre se encuentra aún más atrapado que dentro de una carcel. Esta paradoja hace de este libro uno de los mejores ejemplo de una novela de ficción que se hayan producido en Argentina. El desenlace es tan inesperado como original y la prosa empleada es tan maravillosa que el libro se desarrolla como una película dentro de la mente del lector. Se trata de uno de esos libros que desearíamos volver a leer, por su excelente construcción y su calidad única. Altamente recomendable.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect mix of love, intrigue, and sci-fi, July 25, 1996
By A Customer
Bioy Casares tackled what few other Latin-American authors have: sci-fi. But this is not you average ray-gun-set-for- stun story. By keeping all the sci-fi on the background and concentrating on the story, Casares weaved a delightful and sometimes heart-aching plot. Our protagonist escapes the Mafia only to be stranded on an island where everything is not what it seems, if it is there at all! Certain to keep you on the edge of your seat, this novel could be read in one sitting, and most probably you will.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nuevo mito sobre lo que ya es un viejo tema..., December 17, 2008
By W.W. (Detroit, sucka.) - See all my reviews
Logra recrear un nuevo mito sobre lo que ya es un viejo tema: la deshumanización. Tiene mucho en común temáticamente con The Island of Dr. Moreau, en el sentido de que los carácteres no se convierten en monstruos sino fantamas proyectados por una máquina. El narrador se enamora de una de los fantasmas, confundiendo su propia falta de alma con el obejto de su deseo. Y se le pierde la humanidad.
