Julio Cortázar
Julio Cortázar (Ixelles, Bélgica, 26 de agosto de 1914-París, 12 de febrero de 1984) fue un escritor, traductor e intelectual argentino. Sin renunciar a su nacionalidad argentina, optó por la nacionalidad francesa en 1981, en protesta contra el régimen militar argentino.234
Es considerado uno de los autores más innovadores y originales de su tiempo, maestro del cuento, la prosa poética y la narración breve en general, y creador de importantes novelas que inauguraron una nueva forma de hacer literatura en el mundo hispano, rompiendo los moldes clásicos mediante narraciones que escapan de la linealidad temporal. Debido a que los contenidos de su obra transitan en la frontera entre lo real y lo fantástico, suele ser puesto en relación con el realismo mágico e incluso con el surrealismo.5
Vivió tanto la infancia como la adolescencia e incipiente madurez en Argentina y, desde la década de 1950, en Europa. Residió en Italia, España, Suiza y Francia, país donde se estableció en 1951 y en el que ambientó algunas de sus obras.6
Además de escritor, fue también un reconocido traductor, oficio que desempeñó, entre otros, para la Unesco.
What would you do if you were suddenly thrown powers befitting a God more than any mortal?
Would you use them to better yourself, your community and society? Or would you wreak havoc upon our world?
Or would you instead look far beyond our reality and breakthrough the construction for something brand new? A new world, all to yourself that too.
That's what happened, and it was in the drizzle whilst feeding the pest that had wrecked havoc upon his humble backyard shack that he found a mystery larger than anyone can comprehend, an artifact immune to the irreversible corrosion of time, quite ironic that an unbreakable artifact fell upon his hands by accident, a man two steps away from death itself.
Miguel didn't know at that time about how much of an effect the scroll would have upon his life, but whatever happens; he's now sure it'll be a merry one, either in this world, or the other one.
Meanwhile in the world he had created, soft, peaceful and lush forests cover most areas of the continent with a very sparse population density, however Reggasia is anything but peaceful; and sparse.
Reggasia is almost like another country to the rest of the people in the old kingdom, because it is; despite being the new capital district of culture it is now bleeding like a stuck pig, it's people starving and the wars the noblesse classes are waging aren't making anything better.
As such, a greed driven young rogue takes things into his own hands and goes onto a journey that will take him across the entire district when his country and people are in danger, but will he be able to stop the conspiring nobles from taking over the entire continent? Or will his heart be pierced by the very same blade he gave unto this world seventeen hundred years ago?
