The other shore (book)

The Other Shore is the ninth book of short stories, although the first to be conceived, by the Argentine writer Julio Cortázar. It was written between 1937 and 1945, and published posthumously in 1994, at the beginning of the author's Complete Stories, published by the Alfaguara publishing house in two volumes. It was the first volume of stories that Cortázar completed and was about to be published by the Nova publishing house in February 1946, but the plan did not materialize.
