About “Octaedro”
Octaedro is a 1974 short story collection by Julio Cortázar. It contains eight stories, each reflecting the structure of an octahedron, a geometric shape with eight identical faces. The collection explores social and political themes, continuing the concerns presented in Cortázar's previous work, Libro de Manuel, published in 1973. It also addresses more universal themes, connecting personal and political narratives. The title and structure of the book emphasize its thematic and formal coherence.
