The world we know still holds countless holes, waiting to be described. In Cortázar's writing, the world unfolds like a piece of origami, revealing a dazzling array of adventures. A nightmarish atmosphere invades an old house, forcing its two inhabitants to retreat until they finally escape. Riding the elevator to the second floor, one suddenly feels like vomiting a rabbit. Meeting a boy whose life trajectory mirrors one's own offers a glimpse into the endless cycle of reincarnation... Reading Cortázar never feels dull. Every subtle experience in everyday life unfolds like a sudden improvisation, allowing you to follow your intuition and desire to unexpected destinations.

The Occupied House is the first collection of Cortázar's short stories, including "The Other Shore," "Bestiary," and "The End of the Game." "The Other Shore" is published in Chinese for the first time. "The Other Shore" is light and lovely, "Bestiary" is unique and exquisite, and "The End of the Game" is profound and bizarre. Cortázar said, "I want to create a kind of short story that has never been written before."
