Böcker av Silvina Ocampo

Delicately crafted, intensely visual, deeply personal stories explore the nature of memory, family ties, and the difficult imbalances of love.

The Topless Tower is Silvina Ocampo's most imaginative work, one which takes the canon of Western fantasy and turns it on its head. A cross between Alice in Wonderland and the short stories of Jorge Luis Borges, it packs a whole fantastical world into a swift fever-dream narrative. The efforts of Leandro to escape the dreamlike tower where he has been spirited by the Devil are a key text of the South American surrealist movement.

Fantastical, unnerving short stories from a Surrealist master of the form.
