Review

"Cortazar's masterpiece...the first great novel of Spanish America."

-- Times Literary Supplement

"The most powerful encyclopedia of emotions and visions to emerge from the postwar generation of international writers." -- New Republic

"A work of the most exhilarating talent and interest." -- Elizabeth Hardwick

Product Description

Horacio Oliveira is an Argentinian writer who lives in Paris with his mistress, La Maga, surrounded by a loose-knit circle of bohemian friends who call themselves "the Club." A child's death and La Maga's disappearance put an end to his life of empty pleasures and intellectual acrobatics, and prompt Oliveira to return to Buenos Aires, where he works by turns as a salesman, a keeper of a circus cat which can truly count, and an attendant in an insane asylum. Hopscotch is the dazzling, free-wheeling account of Oliveira's astonishing adventures.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Simply put, a masterpiece, Jui 12 2004
This is the most important, funniest and deepest novel ever written in Argentina (well, one of the TWO most important, if we consider Sábato's "Sobre héroes y tumbas" too), but don't be fooled by Cortázar's sense of humor, the alleged optional chapters at the end of the book are, in fact, the most importat chapters, becasuse in them it lays the book's secret philosophy. Anyway, they are not for everyone, Cortázar was aware of it and that's maybe the reason of it's placement.

A great novel.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Strongly strongly recommended, Avril 12 2004
Hopscotch is a story (or stories, for it can be read multiple ways) of a bohemian drifter, written in a surrealistic style that is captivates and entrances. I read it last year (in Gregory Rabassa's excellent translation) for a course in Latin American Literature. Normally, at school one is on a time-frame, and is pressured to complete the assigned book at an accelerated pace. I couldn't, however, because I liked the book too much to skim through it.

My advice for readers is, don't be put off by the romance-novel like front cover and the back cover's whimsical plot summary. Hopscotch is far more sober, meaningful, and wonderful than this. On almost every page, there is some unusual metaphor or bit of language that brought a smile to my face. I found the complexity and symbolic depth added to the enjoyment in an intelligent way without making the text difficult or esoteric.

I recommend that you take Cortazar's advice and regard the optional chapters (57-155) as optional. I couldn't help but read some of them--they tempted me and they undoubtedly add layers of depth and meaning--but for the most part they are nowhere near as good as the first 56 and seem almost "tacked-on." Ignoring them cuts the number of pages down to 350 or so instead of 576, and makes the book a good deal more coherent. Then, if you want to, you can read the rest of the chapters, or pick and choose from them as you like. It was Cortazar's intention that the book be treated like an encyclopedia, to be opened up and read in any order. I'm not sure I agree this is the best way to enjoy it, but the beauty is that how deep one goes is always left up to the reader.

5.0étoiles sur 5 How to read Rayuela, Juil 24 2003
Par Un client
This book is magical in that it must be read more than once, and with each reading, a new experience and understanding unfold. First, read it from front to back. Next, read it from back to front. And finally, read through it on a random basis, chapter at a time, in no particular order. I was first introduced to Rayuela in the late 1960's. It still sits on my bookshelf and every so often, I read through it again, and have another 'aha.'
