Synopsis "Los Premios (in Spanish)"

Una novela inolvidable. Incluye, en exclusiva, la historia de la creación de la novela contada a través de las cartas de Julio Cortázar y una guía para leer al autor. Los premios anticipa gozosamente la fiesta de Rayuela. Los pasajeros que se embarcan en el Malcolm para un crucero de placer se ven envueltos en un misterio que tiene tanto de alegórico como de disparate colosal. La ilusión de un corte con la vida anterior, propia de los viajes, incita a este grupo de hombres y mujeres a lanzarse a la exploración del enigma y al conocimiento mutuo. Y lo hacen con el aplicado entusiasmo de un juego, con la libertad y el riesgo que solo Cortázar sabe concederle a sus personajes. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A group of random people receives notice that they have won a cruise. Once they become passengers onboard the Malcolm, they find themselves tangled in the web of a mystery that is as symbolic as it is ludicrous. The feeling of detachment from ones normal life, typical of vacation cruises, motivates the travelers to undertake the search to resolve the enigma. The enthusiasm and freedom with which the characters dive into the game, and risks they take could only come from the imagination of one writer: Cortzar.

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.
