Softcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Rillen / Abschürfungen / Risse / Knicke; Gebrochener Buchrücken. The philosophical Detective Adjutant Grijpstra and his assistant, Sergeant de Gier, appear in eight of these superb mystery stories. In one they learn which of two lady friends put a bullet through the head of a handsome oceanographer found dead amidst his tanks of shiny, living mussels. In another they strong-arm a brutal crime-lord whose henchman threatens the sergeant's cat. Another finds them wondering how a man could explode a wife-killing bomb in the country while he was, all the time, in his city office. Still another leads them to a murderer whose weapon is a chocolate Easter bunny. And that's just the beginning: the collection contains six other stories, each touched with that curious blend of wit and the macabre which readers have come to expect from the pen of Janwillem van de Wetering.There goes Ravelaar --Six this, six that --The deadly egg --Sure blue, and dead too --The sergeant's cat --The machine gun and the mannequin --Houseful of mussels --Letter present --A tasty tidbit --A great sight --A tale with an end --Jacob Sander's final solution --The yoga yo-yo --The new disciple.

A hero to the likes of Llosa and Gabriel Garci?a Ma?rquez and a vital forbearer to magical realism, Onetti won the Cervantes Prize in 1980. A Dream Come True, beautifully translated by Katherine Silver, gathers Onetti's entire body of short fiction into English for the first time. Onetti's characters drift untethered, through strange places with unfamiliar people. A woman idles in a beachside hotel during a prolonged convalescence; a grandmother serves cafe?-con-leche to schoolboys resembling her lost grandson. In these mysterious, dream-like stories, everything is gestured at, nothing plainly told. Each offers a brief glimpse into the life of one of Onetti's vast cast of unusual characters, intimately rendering their sorrows, fears, and joys"-- Provided by publisher. ; Synopsis: A Dream Come True collects the complete stories of Juan Carlos Onetti, presenting his existentialist, complex, and ironic style over the course of his writing career. Onetti was praised by Latin America's greatest authors, and regarded as an inventor of a new form and school of writing. Juan Carlos Onetti's A Dream Come True depicts a sharp, coherent, literary voice, encompassing Onetti's early stages of writing and his later texts. They span from a few pages in "Avenida de Mayo - Diagonal - Avenida de Mayo" to short novellas, like the celebrated detective story "The Face of Disgrace" and "Death and the Girl," an existential masterpiece that explores the complexity of violence and murder in the mythical town of Santa María. His stories create a world of writing which is both universal and highly local, mediating between philosophical characters and the quotidian melodrama of Uruguayan villages. ; Juan Carlos Onetti Borges was a Uruguayan novelist and author of short stories. ; Contents: Avenida de Mayo - Diagonal - Avenida de Mayo -- Obstacle -- Possible Baldi -- Tragic end of Alfredo Plumet -- Perfect crime -- Convalescence -- Dream come true -- Masquerade -- Welcome, Bob -- Long tale -- Ninth of July : Independence Day -- Back to the South -- Esbjery by the Sea -- House in the Sand -- Album -- Tale of the Rosenkavalier and the Pregnant Virgin from Liliput -- Most Dreaded Hell -- Face of Disgrace -- Jacob and the Other -- As Sad as She -- On the Thirty-First -- Kidnapped Bride -- Matias the Telegraph Operator -- Twins -- Death and the Girl -- Dogs will have their Day -- Presencia -- Friends -- Soap -- Cat -- Marketplace -- Piggy -- Full Moon -- Tomorrow will be Another Day -- Tree -- Montiagne -- Ki no Tsurayuki -- Shotgun -- She -- Araucaria -- At Three in the Morning -- Imposter -- Kisses -- Her Hand -- Back and Forth -- Ti me dai la cosa me, io te do la cosa te -- Cursed Springtime -- Beachcomber -- Visit -- Saint Joseph ; FINE.
