leonel (leonelescalantem) | 2 comments Hi! Can you add this book?

* Title: Circuitos rotos

* Author name: Ariel Muniz

* ISBN: 968-6170-90-1

* Publisher: EDICIONES LA RANA

*Publication Date Year: 1996

* Page count: 136

* Format: Paperback

* Description (from the book’s back cover):

Como si se tratara de las ondas o círculos concéntricos que se forman en el agua al arrojar una piedra, Ariel Muniz nos entrega Circuitos raros, obra dividida en tres partes que -como los mencionados círculos concéntricos- amplían su extensión, la segunda más que la primera, y la tercera más que la segunda. Douglas R. Hofstadter -en su obra The Golden Plait (La trenza dorada), que habla de tres grandes hombres: el matemático Gödel, el dibujante y grabador Escher y el músico y compositor Bach- dice que en La ofrenda musical, obra de diez cánones, Bach deliberadamente los escribió incompletos. Hofstadter señala que «para subrayar esa calidad de potencialmente infinito» él llama a uno de dichos cánones «Canon en perpetuo ascenso», ya que con él Bach ofrece el «primer ejemplo de Circuitos raros», y define esta manifestación así: «El fenómeno ocurre cada vez que, habiendo hecho hacia arriba o hacia abajo un movimiento a través de los niveles de un orden jerárquico, nos encontramos inopinadamente en el punto de partida». Esto es lo que nos entrega Ariel Muniz en su prosa ágil y amena, inspirada en la idea bachiana.

The cover in those sites has really poor quality, so I took a picture of my copy of the book and uploaded it to Google Drive:

Thank you :)

Javier (palchetti) | 31143 comments Added with cover and data from the first site, we cannot use elem.
Circuitos raros

If you'd like to get your picture added as cover instead, please provide a quick photo of the publication information page as well (we are required to check the ISBN and edition match before using an image).

Lastly, according to WorldCat (our preferred source for confirming page counts) this book has 126 pages. Can you tell me what is on pages 127-136 of your copy? Some things we count & some things we don't.

Javier (palchetti) | 31143 comments Cover updated, thanks.

It would be 127 pages then, pages about other books and regular colophons are not to be counted according to GR policy.
