ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The Other Adventure and Other Stories gathers five non-fiction works Bioy Casares wrote between 1968 and 1999.

This non-fiction volume opens with "The Other Adventure" (1968), a series of prologues and papers he wrote, among which stand out an analysis about the originality of La Celestina and a valuable note regarding his friendship with Borges. In "Memories of La Pampa and the Gauchos" (1970), Bioy explores the multiple resonances of these words, which to him are a source of anxiety, but "to most Argentinians are of common touristic use." The hilarious and satirical "Dictionary of the Exquisite Argentinian" (1971) includes true findings. "A Few Days in Brazil" (1991) is a travel journal he wrote in 1960, within the context of a PEN Club congress. And "Of Wonderous Things" (1999), luminous reflection to help us learn more about ourselves.

Functional but theres size discrepancy
Color: Black, Color: Black
I received this PU leather valet tray and it looks mostly like the photos. The stitching and brass buttons look clean, and setup is easy since you just snap the corners together. The color appears more matte than expected and the surface texture feels fairly flat. I also measured the tray and the dimensions differ from the listing. The product page states 9.4 × 7.8 × 1.9 inches, but the one I received measures about 8 3/8 × 7 × 2 inches. Functionally, it works well for holding small items and seems scratch-resistant as advertised. It is a decent tray, but the size difference and material finish keeps it from being a 5-star product.

Good quality and sturdy valet tray. Very soft surface texture that grips items nicely.
Color: Black, Color: Black
This valet tray is beautiful, especially for faux leather. It’s so super soft to the touch, and a great option to hold items that could easily slip or slide around. The texture has a nice way of gripping items in order to keep them in place, even with the sides down. Although having sides up certainly keeps things contained better. It also feels sturdy and very good quality. The buttons on the sides are not only attractive, but they are easy to snap and remain in place perfectly. This is a nice touch to any room, even decorative despite any slight mess it might contain within. I’m personally using it for a few medications and serum bottles on my nightstand. I highly recommend to anyone looking to make a messy space a little more attractive.

Great quality and perfect for everyday use
Color: Brown
I wasn’t expecting much from this valet tray, but it turned out way nicer than I thought. The PU leather looks classy and feels sturdy, and the stitching is clean with no rough edges. I keep it on my nightstand for my watch, keys, and phone, and it’s made my mornings less hectic because everything is in one place now. The sides snap together firmly, so it holds its shape well but can also be flattened for travel. The brown color fits nicely with my desk and dresser too. It’s a simple item, but very practical and looks more expensive than it really is.

Nice personal organizer
Color: Brown, Color: Brown
Perfect size for my entry table. I love having something I can throw my keys and wallet and glasses in and I always know where they are. This looks great. I love how the leather side snap together to make it into a tray. I also really like the included keychain that came with it. It is great for my personal organization for the price I consider it an excellent value
