The Invention of Morel
of Adolfo Bioy Casares, Ruth L.C. Simms (Translator), Jorge Luis Borges (Prologue), Suzanne Jill Levine (Introduction), Norah Borges de Torre (Illustrator)
Description
Jorge Luis Borges declared The Invention of Morel a masterpiece of plotting, comparable to The Turn of The Screw and Journey to the Center of the Earth. Set on a mysterious island, Bioyâs novella is a story of suspense and exploration, as well as a wonderfully unlikely romance, in which every detail is at once crystal clear and deeply mysterious.Inspired by Bioy Casaresâs fascination with the movie star Louise Brooks, The Invention of Morel has gone on to live a secret life of its own. Greatly admired by Julio CortĂĄzar, Gabriel GarcĂa MĂĄrquez, and Octavio Paz, the novella helped to usher in Latin American fictionâs now famous postwar boom. As the model for Alain Resnais and Alain Robbe-Grilletâs Last Year at Marienbad, it also changed the history of film.
