«Libro de Manuel» is the novel by Argentine writer Julio Cortázar, published by Editorial Alfaguara in paperback (351 pages, in Spanish).
A novel that synthesizes Julio Cortázar's aesthetic inquiry and his attention to the revolutionary movements of his time. It can be read as an extension of the characters and concerns of Rayuela, now turned toward a convulsed world, and retains the imagination, nonchalance, and lightness characteristic of the author.
Originally published in 1973, it won the Prix Médicis étranger in 1974. It is part of the Literatura Alfaguara collection (number 258).
Work aimed at readers of Latin American fiction and those following Cortázar's trajectory after Rayuela.
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.
