En este libro, Cortázar ofrece a sus lectores artefactos sutiles, perfectos y desmontables que apelan en igual medida a la sensibilidad estética, la suspicacia lingüística y la inteligencia descifradora. Son relatos escritos en los bordes del azar y el ajedrez, de la lógica y del coup de dés, que apuntan a descubrir nuevas perplejidades ante los viejos enigmas: las pasiones, las vidas imaginarias, los espacios y tiempos paralelos y las ficciones cotidianas. La lengua y su infinito juego de combinaciones es, en estos relatos, protagonista indiscutible.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
All Fires the Fire offers eight great examples of the creative fullness that encompasses Cortázar's stories. From the exasperated metaphor of human relationships that is "La autopista del sur" through the masterpiece that is "El otro cielo," Cortázar once again paves the way to stories that are a must-read for lovers of the story genre in general. "La salud de los enfermos," "Reunión," "La seńorita Cora," "La isla a mediodía," "Instrucciones para John Howell," and "Todos los fuegos el fuego" are a celebration of intelligence, passion, and genius.

Nacido en Bruselas en 1914, durante una estancia temporal de sus padres en esa ciudad, Julio Cortázar es uno de los escritores argentinos más importantes de todos los tiempos. Realizó estudios de Letras y de Magisterio y trabajó como docente en varias ciudades del interior de Argentina. En 1951 fijó su residencia definitiva en París, desde donde desarrolló una obra literaria única dentro de la lengua castellana. Algunos de sus cuentos se encuentran entre los más perfectos del género. Su novela Rayuela conmocionó el panorama cultural de su tiempo y marcó un hito insoslayable dentro de la narrativa contemporánea. Cortázar murió en París en 1984.
