Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A taxidermied parrot, insulted by a stodgy uncle, comes violently alive and batters the poor fool to death with its beak.

And deep in the Andes, in a hidden cave, an unremarkable house cat waits to trap its hapless victim with a Gorgon's gaze and engage him in a staring contest on which the fate of the cosmos just might depend.Such are a few of the bizarre adventures found within Juan Emar's mind-bending collection of short stories, Ten. Allegory Parody Horror Surrealism Yes to all, and none of the above: where lesser writers mark their end-point, the unclassifiable Juan Emar jumps off, straight into the deep end.
