Synopsis "Guirnalda con Amores (in Spanish)"

La soledad, el miedo, los anhelos, la desesperación ante lo desconocido, el amor extravagante y el amor condenado al fracaso, todas las viejas heridas de la condición humana son tamizadas a través del cuento, el aforismo o la fábula en un vaivén tan entretenido como implacable. â€œMoscas y arañasâ€ esconde, tras la posibilidad de orientar los sueños de los amantes, una conspiración macabra; en â€œHistoria romanaâ€, un caballero de la corte papal y una turista argentina libran un desopilante contrapunto sexual; el notable â€œMito de Orfeo y Eurídiceâ€ introduce al protagonista en un mundo paralelo, que se comunica con los baños del Jockey Club.'

Adolfo Bioy Casares was born in Buenos Aires on September 15, 1914. Dedicated from a young age to literature, the publication of The Invention of Morel in 1940 marks the beginning of a vast literary career that he unfolded in short stories, novels, essays, diaries, and collaborative works with his wife, the writer Silvina Ocampo, and Jorge Luis Borges. Some of his most notable works include Plan de Evasión, El sueño de los héroes, Diario de la guerra del cerdo, Dormir al sol, La trama celeste, Historias desaforadas, Una muñeca rusa, and Una magia modesta. Decorated as a Knight of the Legion of Honor, he received, among other awards, the Municipal Literature Prize, the National Literature Prize, the Honor Prize from the Argentine Writers Society, the International Alfonso Reyes Prize, and the Cervantes Prize. He died in Buenos Aires on March 8, 1999.
