Together they edited the literary magazine Destiempo (1936). In 1932 he met Borges, a meeting that resulted in lifelong friendship and literary collaboration. His elegantly constructed works are oriented toward metaphysical possibilities and employ the fantastic to achieve their meanings.īorn into a wealthy family, Bioy Casares was encouraged in his writing, publishing (with the help of his father) his first book in 1929. I recommend it.Īdolfo Bioy Casares, pseudonyms Javier Miranda and Martin Sacastru, (born September 15, 1914, Buenos Aires, Argentina-died March 8, 1999, Buenos Aires), Argentine writer and editor, known both for his own work and for his collaborations with Jorge Luis Borges.
Reading Morel’s Invention was an exciting experience for me, in which I had wild dreams. Perhaps both were among what the author wanted to convey to the reader. I wasn’t quite sure if it was written in the 1940s to describe how television, cinema, images seen on a screen affect people, or whether it was written about death and life using these technological advances. The Invention of Morel, first published in 1940, is one of the novels that make you think and dream a lot.
Until they discover Morel’s invention, neither the narrator nor the reader can figure out what they are up against. After a while, he sees Morel next to Faustine, and after that, the narrator decides to follow this group of people more closely. Sitting alone against the sea, Faustine soon becomes the only thing the narrator expects to see on this strange island. While contemplating where these people came from, the narrator sees beautiful Faustine at sunset. In The Invention of Morel, while the narrator thinks that he has been alone on the island for months, he suddenly sees people and begins to watch them from afar. The central mystery of the island is the mysterious death of those who set foot here. It is said that the people who built these buildings left the island after they built the structures. This island immediately caught my attention as a place because there is an architecturally peculiar house called a museum, a church and a pool on it. The place where he escaped is a very mysterious island.
This narrator was sentenced to death but somehow managed to escape his sentence. Even Morel appears later, and we listen to the events from a strange narrator whose name we do not know. The Invention of Morel is one of those novels that does not reveal exactly what one is reading in the very first chapters and, in fact, until the end of the book.
