Three Huge Novels : Tres inmensas novelas Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

In 1931, while on holiday in Arcachon, Huidobro and the Franco-German artist and writer, Hans (Jean) Arp together wrote Tres novelas exemplares (Three Exemplary Novels - no doubt a reference to the Exemplary Novels by Cervantes, to which of course they bear no resemblance at all), a set of wild quasi-surrealist "stories".

In 1935, Huidobro - once again living in Chile - offered the set to a publisher in Santiago, but was told that the book was too short.

Accordingly he wrote two further stories on his own, and the whole volume was titled Tres inmensas novelas.

Which are therefore, not three, not huge and not novels.

This volume offers all five stories in a bilingual format, and the cover is almost a copy of the one used in the first edition.
