Publisher's Synopsis

Verano de 1972, Julio Cortázar recibe en Saignon, las pruebas de galera del Libro de Manuel y decide corregirlas lejos de su casa. Durante unos dìas abandona la ciudad francesa y a bordo de Fafner, su querida camioneta Volkswagen, recorre la Provenza con la única compañìa de unas latas de conserva, vino tinto y una máquina de escribir. El resultado de esta travesìa singular es esta breve obra maestra, donde la meta más significativa no será el libro corregido, sino las reflexiones laterales, el taller secreto que lo sustentaba, el modo de vida que permite una vida excepcional.

Summer 1972. In Saignon, France, Julio Cortázar receives the galley proofs of Libro de Manuel and decides to correct them away from home. For several days he abandons Saignon and in "Fafner," his beloved Volkswagen van, he tours Provence in the exclusive company of a few tins of food, some red wine, and a typewriter. The result of this singular journey is a brief masterpiece in which the most significant focus is not the book that was to be corrected but rather the parallel reflections, the secret workshop that support it, the way of life that permitted an exceptional existence.
