Argentine writer Julio Cortazar (August 26, 1914 – February 12, 1984) is known as an unparalleled master of experimentation with form and image, a combination of reality and fiction. He gained fame and fame as a novelist, although he wrote many unpublished poems during his lifetime, and became, admittedly, one of the creators of a new Latin American novel.
"Book of Manuel", "Game of Classics", "Model for Assembly", "Bestiary" - the most famous books of Cortazar, who was also a brilliant novelist. His works capture their dynamics, honed words, and this is the undoubted superiority of the author.
Julio Cortazar is Argentinian, but was born in Brussels because his father served there in the Argentine embassy. After long European wanderings of the family, Julio received higher education at home, at the University of Buenos Aires, at the Faculty of Philosophy and Literature. For some time Cortazar taught at the National College of San Carlos in Bolivar, and in 1944 became a lecturer at the University of Mendoza.
In 1946, Cortazar published his first short story, The House Captured (at that time he was an employee of the Book Chamber in Buenos Aires), and this was the beginning of the path to fame that would bring Julio his major works. After receiving a literary scholarship in 1951, the writer left for Europe and settled in Paris, from where he never returned to Argentina. The whole world knew him as a prose writer, and the lyrical book of poems “Twilight Only” was published after the death of Julio Cortazar, in 1984: it included poems and poems created by him in different years of life.
Cortazar was married twice, trust in his first wife, Aurore Bernandez, did not disappear after the divorce: after the death of his second wife, Carol Dunlop, the writer transferred all rights to his literary heritage to Aurora. The reason for their breakup, despite a deep mutual feeling, was Cortazar's fascination with the Lithuanian Ugne Karvelis, the third woman in his fate. /
