ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The Other Adventure and Other Stories gathers five non-fiction works Bioy Casares wrote between 1968 and 1999.

This non-fiction volume opens with "The Other Adventure" (1968), a series of prologues and papers he wrote, among which stand out an analysis about the originality of La Celestina and a valuable note regarding his friendship with Borges. In "Memories of La Pampa and the Gauchos" (1970), Bioy explores the multiple resonances of these words, which to him are a source of anxiety, but "to most Argentinians are of common touristic use." The hilarious and satirical "Dictionary of the Exquisite Argentinian" (1971) includes true findings. "A Few Days in Brazil" (1991) is a travel journal he wrote in 1960, within the context of a PEN Club congress. And "Of Wonderous Things" (1999), luminous reflection to help us learn more about ourselves.
