«La invención de Morel», de Adolfo Bioy Casares | ANÁLISIS

"The Invention of Morel" is one of the most significant works of fantasy fiction in Latin America. This novel by Argentine author Bioy Casares presents a story that combines adventure, science fiction, and various philosophical reflections that question the perception of reality and the very essence of existence. With a precise style and careful structure, it creates a story that surpasses the limits of reality to enter speculative and disturbing territory. Today, we will focus on the approach Bioy Casares left us with with this work, which, with the passage of time, increasingly distances itself from the fantastic. The technological prodigy of this island and the events that befall this fugitive surprise us no longer because of its premise, but because of how it has come to resemble our current society. 🔴 SUBSCRIBE TO DEMIURGO 🔴    / demiurgoliteratura   ⭐ BECOME A MEMBER FOR ONLY €0.99 ⭐    / @demiurgoliteratura   SOCIAL MEDIA 🔵 Twitter 🔵   / demiurgo_lit   🟠 Instagram 🟠   / demiurgo_literatura   -------------- Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:49 Borges's Prologue 03:04 Plot of "The Invention of Morel" 06:02 Marginality in "The Invention of Morel" 08:15 Faustine 09:30 Morel: A technological demiurge 1:06 PM "The Invention of Morel" and virtual reality (metaverse) 3:32 PM The end of "The Invention of Morel" 4:34 PM Credits ----------- RESOURCES (Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, commentary, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
