š Book: Hopscotch
āļø By Julio Cortasar
āØ Julio Cortazar is an Argentine writer, one of the representatives of the Latin American "literary explosion", and a master of the short story. In 1963, he shocked the literary world with his novel Hopscotch, and he has written several collections of short stories and poems.
š« The novel tells the story of Oliveira, an unruly Latin American intellectual who comes to Paris, the "paradise" of Western civilization, in pursuit of the true meaning of life, but finds himself at odds with the people around him and the society at large. Disappointed, he had to give up love and friendship, return to the "earth" - Buinos Ellis. At this time, however, he could not find his own metaphysical pursuit. He clung to the ideal spiritual paradise, but whether Paris, or Argentina, the bitter search, but he fell into the despair again and again.
