«Historias fantásticas» is a collection of fantastic tales by Adolfo Bioy Casares, published by Alianza in paperback (307 pages, in Spanish).
The fourteen tales by Adolfo Bioy Casares peer into the uncanny hidden in everyday life: crossings of times and spaces, a disturbing variant of the fairy tale, a malignant projection that unleashes jealousy, a lover pursued by a memory that materialises in animal form, or a fleeting encounter with the beloved woman. Reality becomes strange in recognisable situations.
This edition belongs to Alianza's El Libro de Bolsillo collection, number 601 (Literature Section); the work was originally published in 1972.
For readers interested in fantastic fiction and in the twentieth-century Latin American short story.
Adolfo Bioy Casares was an Argentine fiction writer, journalist, diarist, and translator. He was a friend and frequent collaborator of his fellow countryman Jorge Luis Borges. He is the author of the Fantastique novel The Invention of Morel.
