Julio Cortazar



Julio Cortazar- an Argentinian author of novels and short stories .(1914-1984)


"hopscotch"


The book is game, fun with readers in fact. It is possible to read it to different ways discovering new contexts every time. Differently it will be understood if we read chapter after the chapter, differently "jumping"according to authors's key. Possibilities are endless and new motifs and endings are arising.


Story of two young people wandering around streets of Paris is a point of departure for the book. From this journey , deliberations about literature, the art, the meaning of the being and nature of the world starts . A constant search which is keeping main characters company from beginning to the end.
