From the observatory / Julio Cortázar ; photographs by Julio Cortázar with the collaboration of Antonio Gálvez ; translated from the Spanish by Anne McLean.
By: Cortázar, Julio.
Publisher: Brooklyn, NY : [Minneapolis, Minn.] : Archipelago Books ; Distributed by Consortium Book Sales and Distribution, 2011ISBN: 9781935744061.DDC classification: 868 Summary: "Perhaps Cortâazar's most unconventional work, From the Observatory moves from descriptions of the life cycle of the Atlantic eel to glimpses of the unearthly structures of an observatory built in Jaipur by an 18th-century Indian prince. This architectural wonder is not merely a place dedicated to astronomical observation but also a space that bears witness to the dreams of those who enter it. Cortâazar's haunting photos of this enigmatic creation flow into other images--streets, oceans, night skies--which then flow into his verbal dance with a dream-logic all its own. Like fish unaware of why they are migrating, readers will be pulled into this fantastic current."--P.
