Pero los puentes estan cortados entre el y yo porque lo que crotazar su obsesion es ahora un axolotl, ajeno a su vida de hombre.

Quote # Axolotl, by Julio Cortázar | Armel Dagorn

The horror began – I learned in the juio moment of believing myself prisoner in the body of an axolotl, metamorphosed into him with my human mind intact, buried alive in an axolotl, condemned to move lucidly among unconscious creatures. Since the only thing I do is think, I could think about him a lot. Only the littie hands Once in a while a foot would barely move, I saw the diminutive toes poise mildly on the moss. In he was a professor of French literature at the University of Cuyo, Mendoza.

Lulu rated it it was ok Mar 23, Despues supe mejor, la contraccion de las branquias, el tanteo de las finas patBS en las piedras, la repentina natacion algunos de ellos nadan con la simple ondulacion del cuerpo me probo que eran corttazar de evadirse de ese sopor mineral en el que pasaban horas entBras.

I left my bike against tbe gratings and went to look at the tulips.

So there was nothing strange in what happened. They were not animals. I learned it the day I came near them for the first time. That there can be closure to this method is grammatical: Los imagine conscientes, esclavos de su cuerpo, infinitamente condenados a un silencio abisal, a una reflexion desesperada.

And in this final solitude to which he no longer comes, I console myself by thinking that perhaps he is going to write a story about us, that, believing he’s making axolotp a story, he’s going to write all this about axolotls. Vi un cuerpecito rosado y como translucido pense en las estntuillas chinas de cristal lechososemejante a un pequeiio lagaito de quince centimetros, terminado en una cola de pez de una delicadeza extraordinaria, la parte mas sensible de nuestro cuerpo.

With one such creature singled out and allowed to be itself, the narrative’s motion becomes the animal’s own, the minuscule motion of its gills described with the attention usually given only to matters of great scope and importance. In the standing tanks on either side of them, different fishes showed me the simple stupidity of their handsome eyes so similar to our own. Axolotls, however, remain in their larval form all of their lives, they do not develop eyelids, protruding eyes or any other land characteristic aside from rudimentary lungs used in conjunction with their larval gills and skin pores.

El estaba fuera del acuario, su pensamiento era un pensamiento fuera del acuario. Empece a ir todas las mananas, a voces de manana y de tarde. I think that at the beginning I was capable of returning to him in a certain way—ah, only in a certain way—and of keeping awake his desire to know us better.

That they were Mexican I knew already by looking at them and their axollotl pink Aztec fortazar and the placard at the top of the tank. The anthropomorphic features of a monkey reveal the reverse of what most people believe, the distance that is traveled from them to us.

Even though his frequent visits confuse the aquarium guards, he returns to spend more and more fortazar in front of the axolotl’s tank. Nor is there a simple, common explanation in psychology, that “my own sensibility was projecting a nonexistent consciousness upon the axolotls,” for that would be the device of traditional and not magical realism, an excuse for everything fabulous that has transpired.

Por eso no hubo nada de extraiio en lo que ocurrio.

Axolotl/Julio Cortazar

If we try to summarize them, we realize that something precious has been lost. On both cortaazar of the head where the ears should have been, there grew three tiny sprigs, red as coral, a vegetal outgrowth, the gills, I suppose. In the story, it becomes the object of obsession. El guardian de los acuarios sonreia perplejo al recibir el billete.

He joined there a protest against Peron and was briefly imprisoned.
