Mi primer Cortázar. Brillante y con un bonito uso del español.

"La casa tomada" me hizo pensar en Lovecraft y William Hope Hodgson.

Too boring and repetitive for me. I did like the bunny story though.

Esta colección de cuentos fue el primer libro que publicó Cortázar con su nombre. En ellos ya se puede percibir su excelente prosa y su mezcla de elementos reales y fantásticos que lo emparenta con el realismo mágico.

Los cuentos se leen rápido y el interés y la calidad no decaen, lo cual es dificil de lograr en este tipo de libros. Muy recomendable.

Cuentos favoritos: Casa tomada, Carta a una señorita en París, Bestiario.
