Synopsis "El Último Combate: The Last Combat, Spanish Edition (in English)"

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friendship, gathering all of their collaborations, including the entire text of Los discursos del Pinchajeta: hitherto unpublished in Spanish in a translation by Aurora Bernárdez and Cortázar himself.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

Escritor, profesor, guionista y traductor argentino. Es una de la grandes figuras del «boom» de la literatura hispanoamericana. Cortázar se identifica con el Surrealismo a través del estudio de autores franceses. Destaca por sus misceláneas o del género “almanaque”, donde mezcla narrativa, crónica, poesía y ensayo. Sus obras se reconocen por su alto nivel intelectual y por su forma de tratar los sentimientos y las emociones.
