«Rayuela» is the novel by Julio Cortázar, published by Planeta-Agostini in paperback (155 pages, in Spanish).
The narrative alternates the tormented love between Oliveira and La Maga in bohemian Paris with the story of Oliveira, Talita and Traveler in Buenos Aires. Its non-linear structure allows it to be read in two ways: straight through or following an alternative chapter order, and it is considered a key work that renewed narrative in Spanish.
The novel was originally published in 1963. In 1967, its English translation won the National Book Award in the translation category.
Recommended for readers of experimental fiction and classics of Latin American literature.
