La edición conmemorativa del 50 aniversario de Rayuela incluye la historia de la creación de la novela contada a través de las cartas de Julio Cortázar «Contranovela», «crónica de una locura», «el agujero negro de un enorme embudo», «un feroz sacudón por las solapas», «un grito de alerta», «una especie de bomba atómica», «una llamada al desorden necesario», «una gigantesca humorada», «un balbuceo»... Con estas y otras expresiones se aludió a Rayuela, la novela que Julio Cortázar comenzó a soñar en 1958, se publicó en 1963 y a partir de entonces cambió la historia de la literatura y agitó la vida de miles de jóvenes en todo el mundo. Plena de ambición literaria y vital, renovadora de las herramientas narrativas, destructora de lo establecido y buscadora de la raíz de la poesía, durante todas estas décadas Rayuela siguió siendo leída con curiosidad, asombro, interés o devoción.La crítica ha dicho...
«Ningún otro escritor dio al juego la dignidad literaria que Cortázar, ni hizo del juego un instrumento de creación y exploración artística tan dúctil y provechoso. La obra de Cortázar abrió puertas inéditas.»
Mario Vargas Llosa «Si no hay una voluntad de lenguaje en una novela en América Latina, para mí esa novela no existe. Yo creo que la hay en Cortázar, que para mí es casi un Bolívar de la literatura latinoamericana. Es un hombre que nos ha liberado, que nos ha dicho que se puede hacer todo.».-Carlos Fuentes «Prosa hecha de aire, sin peso ni cuerpo pero que sopla con ímpetuy levanta en nuestras mentes bandadas de imágenes y visiones, vaso comunicante entre los ritmos callejeros de la ciudad y el soliloquio del poeta.».-Octavio Paz «Cortázar es el mejor.».-Roberto Bolaño «Su fundación de apertura es otra Rayuela, un libro que es la misma novela, pero que empieza al cerrar este libro.».-Julio Ortega «Cortázar nos ha dejado una obra tal vez inconclusa pero tan bella e indestructible como su recuerdo.».-Gabriel García Márquez

Good Stuff!
Format: Paperback
Very good material for anyone considering marriage and even couples that are already married. However, it would be best to study this book prior to being married. Dr. Chapman has been providing quality material for many years. I started utilizing his material as an aid in counseling when it was on VHS. Like I said, he's been around.
While this book is not an end all be all, it definitely has some great advice and insight within its pages. It works very well in conjunction with "The 5 love languages" and "The 5 languages of apology", also offered by Dr. Chapman. There are free online quizzes and other info that can also be utilized as mentioned in the book that will enrich everything else he discusses in the book. There are several applicable true to life stories inside that help you understand each point he is attempting to relay and makes for an easy read by keeping interest up.
I also ordered the audio version and found it easier to listen to and take notes for self enrichment, as well as notes for guiding others into what I hope will be lasting marriages.

Great book!
Format: Paperback
Wonderful, helpful, insightful. Points out many of the key "sore spots" that can sour a marriage if left unmanaged, and how to address them. Very helpful, whether as a premarital counseling book, a book for the happily married couple, or even for the unhappily married couple willing to set their relationship right. Must read!

Good discussion book to eliminate conflict between couples
Format: Kindle
Use this book as a checklist of things you should discuss with your partner - especially if you're considering or are in a long-term relationship. It explains each topic, why it's a likely source of conflict, how to prevent the conflicts, and includes questions for discussion between partners. Understanding and discussing these topics may not feel romantic and fun, and some of the conversations may be challenging for couples who aren't accustomed to such discussions. Do it anyway though because it will eliminate future conflicts before the conflicts even begin and make your relationship run smoother, last longer, and be a source of relaxation and contentment for you both. I'm speaking from experience here.
If you are new to the study of this topic, this book will be extremely valuable for you. If you've already studied interpersonal relationships, preemptive conflict resolution, and collaborative negotiation tactics, it's still a great checklist of topics to discuss with your partner. I'm on this end of the spectrum, hence 4 of 5 stars because I'm familiar with the author's other work and this book didn't contain much new content. As a compact, all-in-one, relationship discussion guide though, it's great and worth reading and having on hand for future reference for new relationships or for when new conflicts crop up.
