«Libro de Manuel» is the political novel by Julio Cortázar, published by Orbis in 1984 in paperback (412 pages, in Spanish).
The novel combines Julio Cortázar's formal experimentation with his view of the political struggles of his time. It has been read as a natural extension of Rayuela toward a more turbulent reality, with characters and conflicts of the era, and retains the imaginative, relaxed, and vital tone that distinguishes its author.
The novel was first published in 1973 and won the Prix Médicis étranger in 1974; the Orbis edition described here is from 1984.
