Cortazar was a writer of the real and the imaginary, the hallmark of the world he invented lies precisely in this symbiosis. He was able to uncover the unusual in the usual, the absurd within the logical, the extraordinary in the trivial, and the exception to the rule. No one has dignified humanity s foreseeable, conventional and prosaic aspects to such literary heights. His true revolution is in his short stories. In them, Cortazar did not experiment: he found, uncovered, and discovered something eternal. <P>Spanish Description:<P> Cortazar era un escritor realista y fantastico al mismo tiempo. El mundo que invento tiene de inconfundible preci samente ser esa extrana simbiosis. Cortazar detectaba lo insolito en lo solito, lo absurdo en lo logico, la excepcion en la regla y lo prodigio so en lo banal.
