Overview

Horacio Oliveira is an Argentinian writer who lives in Paris with his mistress, La Maga, surrounded by a loose-knit circle of bohemian friends who call themselves "the Club." A child's death and La Maga's disappearance put an end to his life of empty pleasures and intellectual acrobatics, and prompt Oliveira to return to Buenos Aires, where he works by turns as a salesman, a keeper of a circus cat which can truly count, and an attendant in an insane asylum. Hopscotch is the dazzling, free-wheeling account of Oliveira's astonishing adventures.

Editorial Reviews

C. D. B. Bryan
I think Hopscotch is the most magnificent book I have ever read. No novel has so satisfactorily and completely and beautifully explored man's compulsion to explore life, to search for its meaning, to challenge its mysteries. Nor has any novel in recent memory lavished such love and attention upon the full spectrum of the writer's craft.
The New York Times Book Review
The New Republic
The most powerful encyclopedia of emotions and visions to emerge from the postwar generations of international writers.
The Philadelphia Bulletin
There is stir and excitement on every page in the manner, the words, the ideas.
The Times Literary Supplement
Cortázar's masterpiece...the first great novel of Spanish America.

    amazing

    i am surprised more people have not written a review on this book. this book: WOW. Everyone needs to read this book. it will definitely expand your consciousness and open your world. this book is simply amazing. it will blow your mind. by the title hopscotch Cortizar is offering you the opportunity to read his novel by skipping around chapters, like from chapter 83 to 7, etc. or you can read it in the conventional style. there are traces of existentialism and what seems all doctrines under the sun. there are chapters 40 pages plus and some reduced to a few sentences in length. there is this one chapter that has two stories in it where the first line skips a line. so line one and three are together and then 2 and 4 and together so forth and so on. the novel takes you through a group of intellectuals in paris and their thoughts they have. some things are disturbing. some beautiful. some just off the wall. if you like philosophy intermixed with fiction, read this sucka! you'll like it.

    another world in this one (from La Maga)

    Hopscotch is the best book I`ve ever read, and I did it three times.After reading it I became La Maga, it was 4 years ago, and I tried to think in her way, and find her places in Paris, sometimes I still feel I`m her.If u love Hopscotch don`t u loose a photography book:El Paris de Rayuela, by Hector Zampaglione.
