   Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro.  neurodrew | Jan 16, 2012 |   Cortázar employs imagery from these instruments in a poem about the cosmos, man's place in it, and the brutal and unforgiving lives of eels. This poem went completely over my head, as I didn't understand what Cortázar was getting at, and I felt as confused as if I was reading it in a completely foreign language. Even worse, I read a recent review of the book, and I didn't understand it, either! I didn't like or dislike From the Observatory, so I'll give it 3 stars because I have no idea how to rate the book. (  ) kidzdoc | Sep 4, 2011 | What I do like, however, is the way it's written. The flow is very poetic even though they're not written in standard poetry formats, and the words just flit and float as if they were on a rippling brook. I don't even know how to rate this. I can't say I liked it, and I can't say I disliked it. i just found it odd. ( )2  cameling | Aug 3, 2011 | sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: Prosa del observatorio tiene el extrao privilegio de ser uno de los libros menos estudiados de Cortzar y, a la vez, uno de los que mejor representan su potica y su visin del mundo. Incluye, por primera vez, las fotos originales tomadas por Julio Cortzar Jai Singh quiere ser eso que pregunta, Jai Singh sabe que la sed que se sacia con el agua volver a atormentarlo, Jai Singh sabe que solamente siendo el agua dejar de tener sed. Obra anfibia, hecha de las fotos tomadas por Cortzar en 1968 del observatorio de Jaipur, en la India, construido por el sultn Jai Singh en el siglo XVIII, y una serie de textos fechados en Pars y en Saignon en 1971. La asombrosa plasticidad con que se funden las prosas poticas y las fotografas convierten al libro en una amalgama perfecta repleta de imgenes, relatos, reflexiones, hallazgos, expresividad y sincdoques, de modo que, ms que acompaarse unas a otras, parecen interpelarse primero y fundirse despus. Asomarse a esta obra tan ertica como filosfica, que se alimenta ms del asombro que de lo ldico, permite espiar un espacio donde conviven las guilas y las anguilas, Baudelaire y Nietzsche, la cinta de Moebius y ese instante previo al alba que Cortzar denomina la "noche pelirroja". Y experimentar, al mismo tiempo, ese punto trascendental y libre del lenguaje -ms all de lo verbal y lo visual- donde se rompen las fronteras entre Oriente y Occidente, entre el cielo y el ocano, entre la ciencia y la poesa. .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

A densely written essay, only 78 pages including many photographs of Jai Singh’s observatory (Jantar Mantar
observatory in Delhi India). The essay speaks of the migration of eels, as a image of a “many eyed serpent” invading the rivers of Europe as a “phallus, questing and probing”, while Jai Singh watches the sky, attempting to understand the night. The essay was triggered by a scientific article on the migration of the eels, and the theme is that there are forces and experiences outside the scientific realm, experienced as a whole, not analyzed, like love making. “Jai Singh presumably had his observatories built with the elegant disenchantment of a decadence that could no longer expect anything of military conquest, maybe not even of the seraglios where his elders had preferred a sky of lukewarm stars in a time of fragrances and music …” Difficult to understand, the language complex (it is translated from Spanish), and the sentences long and convoluted, I nonetheless read it in one hour, waiting for a car repair. My impression is that it is more poetry than sense. (
