Cortázar inédito. El Cortázar que nos quedaba por conocer, este que entra en el aula y sonríe.
Berkeley, California, otoño de 1980. En la cima de su carrera y después de años de negativas, Julio Cortázar acepta dar un curso universitario de dos meses en los Estados Unidos. Como cabía esperar, no se tratará de conferencias magistrales sino de una serie de charlas sobre literatura, y sobre todo acerca de su experiencia de escritor y la génesis de sus obras.

Las clases tratan gran diversidad de temas: aspectos del cuento fantástico; la musicalidad, el humor, el erotismo y lo lúdico en la literatura; la imaginación y el realismo, la literatura social y las trampas del lenguaje, todos ellos encarnados en lecturas y ejemplos tomados de la cultura universal. Las clases llegan a su punto máximo de interés cuando Cortázar, ya en la edad de los balances, se refiere a su evolución de escritor y analiza su obra: cómo nacieron los cronopios y cuentos insuperables como "La noche boca arriba" o "Continuidad de los parques"; el sentido de Rayuela y su proceso de escritura; el desafío de Libro de Manuel.

Quien lea la minuciosa y fiel transcripción de trece horas de grabaciones, al cabo de este encuentro con el Cortázar oral, valorará lo mismo que en sus textos: la soltura y cercanía, la vastedad de lecturas, la honestidad intelectual, la imaginación y el rigor de tamaño profesor. El Cortázar que nos quedaba por conocer, éste que ya entra en el aula y sonríe.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Berkley, California, fall of 1980. At the pinnacle of his career and after turning down multiple offers, Julio Cortázar agrees to teach a two-month college course in the United States. These previously unedited transcripts of thirteen hours of recorded lessons cover a wide variety of subjects--aspects of the Fantastic tale; musicality, humor, eroticism, and playfulness in literature; imagination and realism, social literature and language traps--and bring us face to face to a Cortázar we had yet to meet: the brilliant professor who comes in to the classroom and smiles at us.

compact surrounds that blend well with the right setup
Size: 4” Woofer
I picked up the Klipsch R‑40M as part of a full 5.1 system built around the R‑50M fronts and the R‑50C center. My original plan was to use another pair of R‑50M speakers in the back, but they simply didn’t fit in the rear cabinet space I have. The R‑40M ended up being the only model that fit comfortably, so they became my surround channels. In terms of build quality, they feel solid and consistent with the rest of the Reference Next‑Gen line. The copper woofers and updated horn design give them the same visual identity as the larger models, which helps the whole system look cohesive. They’re compact enough to place in tighter spaces without compromising too much on performance. Sonically, the R‑40M does a respectable job as a surround speaker. Effects are clear, directional cues are easy to follow, and they integrate smoothly with the more powerful R‑50M fronts. That said, they are noticeably less powerful than the R‑50M, so you need to spend a little time balancing your levels. Once I bumped their channel trim a bit and adjusted the distance settings, the rear soundstage locked in nicely and felt much more even. They won’t deliver the same fullness or dynamic punch as the larger models, but for rear channels that’s usually not a deal breaker. What matters is clarity and consistency, and the R‑40M handles both well. Movies with active surround mixes feel immersive, and ambient effects wrap around the room without calling attention to the speakers themselves. If you’re building a system where space is limited in the back, the R‑40M is a practical and capable choice. Just be prepared to fine tune your calibration so they match the output of the bigger speakers up front. Once dialed in, they round out a 5.1 setup very effectively.

Great Bang for the Buck!
Size: 5.25” Woofer
These R50 Studio Monitors are worth every penny. One could easily spend a heck of a lot more to get less. Have been a pro audio engineer my entire life. These monitors kick out clean, solid bass and accurate highs. Klipsch did a excellent job designing these monitors. Perfect for smail spaces where fidelity is critical. If you wall mount these, make sure you leave at least a 1.5 inch air gap between the back of the monitor and the wall. These units are sweet.

Great sound. I can turn my stereo up loader than I care to listen to it and notice no distortion.
