Description
The book presents twelve short stories and a theory of the universe by Leopoldo Lugones, one of the most famous authors of early twentieth-century Argentina. Lugones had a profound influence on Horacio Quiroga, Jorge Luis Borges, and representatives of magical realism; he is considered one of the founders of Latin American modernism and a precursor of science fiction literature. It is no coincidence that many call him the ‘Argentine Poe.’ The stories in the collection touch on various fields of science, mythology, biblical narratives, and fetishism.
