Synopsis "All Fires the Fire: And Other Stories "

A traffic jam outside Paris lasts for weeks. Che Guevara and Fidel Castro meet on a mountaintop during the Cuban Revolution. A flight attendant becomes obsessed with a small Greek island, resulting in a surreal encounter with death. In All Fires the Fire, Julio Cortázar (author of Hopscotch and the short story "Blow-Up" ) creates his own mindscapes beyond space and time, where lives intersect for brief moments and situations break and refract. All Fires the Fire contains some of Julio Cortázar's most beloved stories. It is a classic collection by "one of the world's great writers" (Washington Post).

Writer, professor, screenwriter, and Argentine translator. He is one of the great figures of the "boom" of Latin American literature. Cortázar identifies with Surrealism through the study of French authors. He stands out for his miscellanies or the “almanac” genre, where he mixes narrative, chronicle, poetry, and essay. His works are recognized for their high intellectual level and for their way of dealing with feelings and emotions.
