Hopscotch

I don't have a favourite book but I have to choose one to write about... so I choose Rayuela.

Rayuela (or Hopscotch) is a novel by the argentine writer Julio Cortázar, it was published in 1963. The author wrote it when he was on Paris, so the book takes place in France and in Argentina.

Rayuela is many books in one book, because Cortázar did a table of instructions of how to read it, so you can read it in order or disorder or however you want. This one of the things that I like about this novel. Also, I like because it has some chapters that it seems to be some kind of poems, and then continues to telling the story of the protagonist.

The plot is about an Argentine intellectual called Horacio Oliveira who lives in Paris and he has a  sort of group of friends with whom he discusses about literature, poetry and music. 

Horacio has a strange relationship with La Maga, a woman who has a baby called Rocamadour. She's missing and he's looking for her through Paris.

Actually, I haven't finished this book because I started reading it in this past summer and then I started University, so now I don't have time to read it. I have plenty to read but for the differents subjects. I recommend this book to anyone who likes reading, because this novel it has differents topics.

PS: Yesterday was Julio Cortázar's 100th Birthday, so I'll post the doodle that google did in his honor.
