Description

A young girl spends her summer vacation in a country house where a tiger roams... A man reading a mystery finds out too late that he is the murderer's victim... In the fifteen stories collected here — including "Blow-Up," which was the basis for Michelangelo Antonioni's film of the same name — Julio Cortázar explores the boundary where the everyday meets the mysterious, perhaps even the terrible.
