A young woman spends her summer holidays in a country house where a tiger roams... A man reading a mystery novel discovers too late that he is the killer's victim...

In the stories collected here—including Blow-Up, which Antonioni used as the basis for his film—Julio Cortázar explores the frontier where the everyday meets the mysterious, perhaps even the terrible. This is the most brilliant and celebrated book of short stories by a master of the genre.
