Product Description
by Julio Cortazar (Author)
In 1955, the painter and sculptor Julio Silva met the author Julio Cort?zar in Paris. From the first moment, there was a spark of genuine friendship and professional respect between the two Julios which lasted until Cort?zar's death in 1984. El ?ltimo combate is a homage to their friendship, gathering all of their collaborations, including the entire text of Los discursos del Pinchajeta: hitherto unpublished in Spanish in a translation by Aurora Bern?rdez and Cort?zar himself. The volume also includes Silvalandia; the text "Un Julio habla del otro," in which Julio Cort?zar describes Julio Silva; the correspondence between the two; and, as an added bonus, "La pluma y la tijera," an interview with Silva conducted by Sa?l Yurkievich, a close friend of both the Julios, about their way of working together.
