«Las armas secretas y otros relatos» is a collection of short stories by Julio Cortázar, published by El Mundo in hardback (125 pages, in Spanish).
It brings together five stories by Julio Cortázar, including «Las babas del diablo», «Cartas de mamá» and «El perseguidor». The last of these, which the author considered a turning point in his output, opens up a new way of feeling and narrating reality; the book mixes the everyday with the unsettling and places ordinary characters in extreme situations.
