Una nueva edición conmemorativa de la RAE y la ASALE: Rayuela, una de las obras cumbre de la literatura contemporánea en español
Un hito insoslayable en la narrativa del siglo XX que no deja de encontrar lectores En el contexto de la celebración del VII Congreso Internacional de la Lengua Española en la ciudad argentina de Córdoba en marzo de 2019, esta edición rinde homenaje a uno de los autores en español más importantes de todos los tiempos y a su obra más emblemática, que conmocionó el panorama cultural de su tiempo y que no deja de encontrar lectores hasta nuestros dÃas. La publicación de Rayuela en 1963 supuso una verdadera revolución en la narrativa en lengua castellana: por primera vez, un escritor llevaba hasta las últimas consecuencias la voluntad de transgredir el orden tradicional de una historia y el lenguaje para contarla. Rebosante de ambición literaria y vital, renovadora de las herramientas narrativas, destructora de géneros y convenciones, Rayuela es Cortázar en esencia, con toda su complejidad ética y estética, con su imaginación y su humor.La edición recupera, como complemento a la novela, tres textos magistrales de Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez, Adolfo Bioy Casares y Carlos Fuentes, autores contemporáneos de Julio Cortázar, que dan cuenta de la dimensión del autor y de la recepción que tuvo la novela en su tiempo. Además, incluye trabajos de los escritores Mario Vargas Llosa y Sergio RamÃrez, y de los crÃticos Julio Ortega, Andrés Amorós, Eduardo Romano y Graciela Montaldo, que muestran la intemporalidad de la propuesta narrativa cortazariana.
Incluye, además, por primera vez desde 1983, la reproducción facsimilar del «Cuaderno de bitácora , la libreta en la que Cortázar fue anotando ideas, escenas y personajes de la novela durante el proceso de escritura. Este cuaderno permite, como un juego de los que tanto gustó Cortázar, un diálogo del autor con el lector sobre la novela que traspasa las fronteras del tiempo. De la lectura de esta novela el lector emerge tal vez con otra idea acerca del modo de leer los libros y de ver la vida. Es, sin duda, un mosaico donde toda una época se vio maravillosamente reflejada.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A new commemorative edition by the Real Academia Española and the Association of Academies of the Spanish Language: Rayuela, a masterpiece of contemporary Spanish-language literature. An undisputed milestone in 20th-century fiction that continues to draw in new readers. In the context of the 7th International Congress of the Spanish Language in the Argentine city of Córdoba in March, 2019, this edition pays homage to one of the most important Spanish-language authors of all time and his most emblematic work, which shook the cultural landscape of his era and which still attracts new readers even today. The publication of Rayuela in 1963 signified a true revolution in Spanish-language fiction: for the first time, a writer fully broke the rules about the order and language in which a story should be told. Brimming with literary and vital ambition, reforming narrative techniques, and breaking down genres and conventions, Rayuela is the essence of Cortázar, with all his ethical and aesthetic complexities, with his imagination and his humor. As a complement to the novel, this edition contains three masterful pieces by Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez, Adolfo Bioy Casares, and Carlos Fuentes, contemporaries of Julio Cortázar, that shed light on the author's dimension and the reception the novel had in its time. It also includes works by writers Mario Vargas Llosa and Sergio RamÃrez, and by critics Julio Ortega, Andrés Amorós, Eduardo Romano, and Graciela Montaldo, showing the timelessness of Cortázar's narrative approach. In addition, for the first time since 1983, it includes a reproduction of the "Log book," the notebook in which Cortázar noted ideas, scenes, and characters for the novel during the writing process. Like one of those games that Cortázar liked so much, this notebook allows a dialogue between the author and the reader that breaks the barriers of time. Readers might emerge from this book with a different idea about how to read books and how to view life. It is, without a doubt, a mosaic in which an entire era is marvelously reflected.Nacido en Bruselas en 1914, durante una estancia temporal de sus padres en esa ciudad, Julio Cortázar es uno de los escritores argentinos más importantes de todos los tiempos. Realizó estudios de Letras y de Magisterio y trabajó como docente en varias ciudades del interior de Argentina. En 1951 fijó su residencia definitiva en París, desde donde desarrolló una obra literaria única dentro de la lengua castellana. Algunos de sus cuentos se encuentran entre los más perfectos del género. Su novela Rayuela conmocionó el panorama cultural de su tiempo y marcó un hito insoslayable dentro de la narrativa contemporánea. Cortázar murió en París en 1984.
