«Libro de Manuel» is the political novel by Julio Cortázar, published by Punto de Lectura in paperback (432 pages, in Spanish).
A group of revolutionaries kidnaps a Latin American police official in Paris to demand the release of political prisoners. The narrative is combined with a collage of press clippings about escapes, torture, and rebellions, and connects repression in Latin America with the torture denounced by American soldiers in the Far East.
The novel was originally published in 1973; the Punto de Lectura edition dates from 27 April 2004.
