Synopsis "El Último Combate: The Last Combat, Spanish Edition"

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friendship, gathering all of their collaborations, including the entire text of Los discursos del Pinchajeta: hitherto unpublished in Spanish in a translation by Aurora Bernárdez and Cortázar himself.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.

Writer, professor, screenwriter, and Argentine translator. He is one of the great figures of the "boom" of Latin American literature. Cortázar identifies with Surrealism through the study of French authors. He stands out for his miscellanies or the “almanac” genre, where he mixes narrative, chronicle, poetry, and essay. His works are recognized for their high intellectual level and for their way of dealing with feelings and emotions.
