★ Five Nobel Prize winners in literature, including Marquez, Neruda, Saramago, Vargas Llosa, and Mo Yan, praised the book.
★ Two generations of world-class directors, Antonioni and Wong Kar-wai, have devotedly loved this work.
★ The genius, charming and unique Cortázar: Life should be a miracle day by day.
★ Cortázar's most popular and anticipated collection of novels // The Chinese version of the original novel of the Palme d'Or award-winning film "Blow-Up" is published for the first time
This volume includes three short story collections: "The Secret Weapon," "The Story of Cronopio and Fama," and "All Fires Return to One," each of which is a timeless masterpiece. Cortázar said, "I wanted to create a kind of short story that had never been written before."
★ Reading "Southern Expressway" filled me with a wave of excitement. For the first time, I felt the passion of narrative and the inertia of language. I then imitated its tone and wrote "Cotton Selling Road." This imitation was of great significance in my creative journey. —Mo Yan, Nobel Prize winner in Literature
Anyone who doesn't read Cortázar is doomed. It's an invisible, grievous illness that, over time, has dire consequences. It's like never tasting a peach; you silently grow darker, paler, and, quite possibly, lose all your hair. — Pablo Neruda, Nobel Prize winner in Literature
★ Cortázar discovered the extraordinary in solitude, the absurd in the logical, the unexpected in the dogmatic, and the miracle in the ordinary. No one can so elevate the clichés and banality of everyday life through literature. —Vargas Llosa, Nobel Prize winner in Literature

Why accept the commonplace when there are other possibilities? Reading Cortázar is like falling lightly down Alice's rabbit hole, wandering through a wardrobe into Narnia with wonder, and slowly yet gracefully stepping into the more subtle realms of the ordinary world. Reality and fantasy intertwine, and the order of time and space unfolds like a kaleidoscope, brimming with subversive possibilities. Daily life and the beautiful imaginary self sometimes overlap and sometimes clash, forming connections that are strange, mysterious, and absurd. Every encounter with Cortázar is a unique flight, a magnificent and free adventure.
