  <description><![CDATA[In these eight masterpieces there is no room for the smallest sign of stumbling or youthful undertones: they are perfect. These stories that speak about objects and daily happenings, pass over to another dimension, one of nightmare or revelation. In each text, surprise and uneasiness are ingredients added to the indescribable pleasure of its reading. These stories may upset readers due to a very rare characteristic in literature: They stare at us as if waiting for something in return. After reading these true classics, our opinion of the world cannot remain the same.  Description in Spanish: &quot;&quot;&quot;Bestiario&quot;&quot; es el primer libro de relatos que Julio Cortázar publica con su auténtico nombre. No hay en estas ocho obras maestras ni el menor balbuceo ni resacas juveniles: son perfectas. Estos cuentos, que hablan de objetos y hechos cotidianos, pasan a la dimensión de la pesadilla o de la revelación de un modo natural e imperceptible. Sorpresa o incomodidad son, en cada texto, un condimento que se agrega al placer indescriptible de su lectura. Sus relatos nos desazonan porque poseen una característica muy rara en la literatura: se nos quedan mirando, como si esperaran algo de nosotros.  Después de leer estos verdaderos clásicos del género, nuestra opinión sobre el mundo no puede seguir siendo la misma.  &quot;]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[Siete cuentos &quot;fantásticos&quot;. Algunos un tanto difíciles de leer, al menos hasta que uno se acostumbra al estilo de Cortázar. Algun tipo de &quot;animal o animales&quot; están detrás de estos cuentos y todos tienen algo en común: que tienden sorprender (y quizá burlar) al lector con ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/23638979">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[In these eight masterpieces there is no room for the smallest sign of stumbling or youthful undertones: they are perfect. These stories that speak about objects and daily happenings, pass over to another dimension, one of nightmare or revelation. In each text, surprise and uneasiness are ingredients added to the indescribable pleasure of its reading. These stories may upset readers due to a very rare characteristic in literature: They stare at us as if waiting for something in return. After reading these true classics, our opinion of the world cannot remain the same.  Description in Spanish: &quot;&quot;&quot;Bestiario&quot;&quot; es el primer libro de relatos que Julio Cortázar publica con su auténtico nombre. No hay en estas ocho obras maestras ni el menor balbuceo ni resacas juveniles: son perfectas. Estos cuentos, que hablan de objetos y hechos cotidianos, pasan a la dimensión de la pesadilla o de la revelación de un modo natural e imperceptible. Sorpresa o incomodidad son, en cada texto, un condimento que se agrega al placer indescriptible de su lectura. Sus relatos nos desazonan porque poseen una característica muy rara en la literatura: se nos quedan mirando, como si esperaran algo de nosotros.

    <body><![CDATA[Este es el libro de Cortázar que más me ha gustado (con la excepción de Historias de cronopios y de famas, que también me gusta muchísimo). Aún cuando no todos los cuentos me parecieron bien logrados, son los que me parecieron más entrañables, más sinceros, y más angustiantes.

    <![CDATA[In these eight masterpieces there is no room for the smallest sign of stumbling or youthful undertones: they are perfect. These stories that speak about objects and daily happenings, pass over to another dimension, one of nightmare or revelation. In each text, surprise and uneasiness are ingredients added to the indescribable pleasure of its reading. These stories may upset readers due to a very rare characteristic in literature: They stare at us as if waiting for something in return. After reading these true classics, our opinion of the world cannot remain the same.  Description in Spanish: &quot;&quot;&quot;Bestiario&quot;&quot; es el primer libro de relatos que Julio Cortázar publica con su auténtico nombre. No hay en estas ocho obras maestras ni el menor balbuceo ni resacas juveniles: son perfectas. Estos cuentos, que hablan de objetos y hechos cotidianos, pasan a la dimensión de la pesadilla o de la revelación de un modo natural e imperceptible. Sorpresa o incomodidad son, en cada texto, un condimento que se agrega al placer indescriptible de su lectura. Sus relatos nos desazonan porque poseen una característica muy rara en la literatura: se nos quedan mirando, como si esperaran algo de nosotros.  Después de leer estos verdaderos clásicos del género, nuestra opinión sobre el mundo no puede seguir siendo la misma.  &quot;]]>

These stories that speak about objects and daily happenings, pass over to another dimension, one of nightmare or revelation. In each text, surprise and uneasiness are ingredients added to the indescribable pleasure of its reading. These stories may upset readers due to a very rare characteristic in literature: They stare at us as if waiting for something in return. After reading these true classics, our opinion of the world cannot remain the same.  Description in Spanish: &quot;&quot;&quot;Bestiario&quot;&quot; es el primer libro de relatos que Julio Cortázar publica con su auténtico nombre. No hay en estas ocho obras maestras ni el menor balbuceo ni resacas juveniles: son perfectas. Estos cuentos, que hablan de objetos y hechos cotidianos, pasan a la dimensión de la pesadilla o de la revelación de un modo natural e imperceptible. Sorpresa o incomodidad son, en cada texto, un condimento que se agrega al placer indescriptible de su lectura. Sus relatos nos desazonan porque poseen una característica muy rara en la literatura: se nos quedan mirando, como si esperaran algo de nosotros.  Después de leer estos verdaderos clásicos del género, nuestra opinión sobre el mundo no puede seguir siendo la misma.  &quot;]]>
