«Historias de cronopios y de famas» is the collection of short stories and vignettes by Julio Cortázar, published by El País in hardcover (154 pages, in Spanish).
The book brings together short stories and vignettes in which small everyday odysseys become literary material: recognizable situations treated with humor, imagination and a touch of strangeness. Within the book's pages appear the cronopios, the famas and the esperanzas, Cortázar's creatures that shape a universe of their own.
The work was originally published in 1962; this edition by El País, from 2002, is number 22 of the Clásicos del Siglo XX collection.
For readers of short fiction who want to approach twentieth-century Latin American literature.
Julio Florencio Cortázar was an Argentine and naturalised French novelist, short story writer, poet, essayist, and translator. Known as one of the founders of the Latin American Boom, Cortázar influenced an entire generation of Spanish-speaking readers and writers in America and Europe.
