Odio las cartas literarias, cuidadosamente preparadas, copiadas y vueltas a copiar; yo me siento a la máquina y dejo correr el vasto rÃo de los pensamientos y los afectos, escribió Julio Cortázar en 1942: una declaración de principios que mantuvo siempre. En estas cartas, que pueden leerse como diario personal, autobiografÃa y cuaderno de bitácora de sus libros, se asiste a la creación de un estilo inconfundible. Con curiosidad permanente, Cortázar da cuenta de todos los aspectos de su actividad como escritor, de sus desvelos polÃticos y sus vaivenes personales, hace el balance del dÃa, opina sobre lo que lee, lo que escucha y lo que ve, relata sus andanzas como traductor, como militante revolucionario o como defensor de los derechos humanos. Nada queda afuera: la Argentina de provincias, Buenos Aires, ParÃs, Cuba, Nicaragua, el boom de la literatura latinoamericana, la amistad, el amor, la muerte. El autor de Rayuela no cesa de asombrarnos con su humor, su lucidez y una inusual coherencia entre vida y obra. Organizada en cinco volúmenes que abarcan un perÃodo comprendido entre 1937 y 1984, la presente edición de la correspondencia cortazariana es una versión corregida y muy aumentada respecto de la publicada en el año 2000: presenta más de mil cartas nuevas, recupera los fragmentos suprimidos en la primera edición e incluye Ãndices de obras del autor y de personas citadas. Una colección que parece estar escribiendo ahora, a nuestro lado, un hombre que jamás se aburrió un solo segundo a lo largo de toda su vida. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION I hate literary letters, carefully drafted, copied over and over; I sit at the typewriter and let the vast river of thoughts and affection flow, Julio Cortázar wrote in 1942: a statement he lived by. In these letters, which read like a personal diary, autobiography and binnacle for his books, we glimpse the making of an unmistakable style. Ever-inquisitive, Cortázar delves into every aspect of his efforts as a writer, his political restlessness and personal ups-and-downs. He sums up each day, comments on what he reads, hears and sees, and recounts his adventures as a translator, militant and human rights advocate. No aspect of his life is left untouched: Argentina, Buenos Aires, Paris, Cuba, Nicaragua, the Latin American literary boom, friendship, love, and death. The author of Rayuela continues to dazzle readers with his wit, clarity and the rare unity found between his life and work. Organized in five volumes* that span almost half a century (from 1937 to 1984), this revised edition of Cortezarian correspondence expounds upon the edition published in the year 2000. Included now are more than one thousand new letters, fragments suppressed from the first edition and an index with the author's works and quoted individuals. Cartas de Cortázar gives us the impression that a man who enjoyed every second of his life was writing them down, right now, right next to us.
