Un tal Lucas (1979) es el regreso de Cortazar al mundo ludico y desopilante de Historias de cronopios y de famas. Bajo el nombre de Lucas, un tal Julio se explaya sobre sus pianistas favoritos, la vida de algunos artistas excentricos, los costumbres de ciertas familias argentinas, el amor y los amigos. Transgresor inagotable, tambien ofrece consejos para lustrarse los zapatos, escribir poemas reversibles, dar conferencias, hacerse echar a patadas de un concierto o nadar en una pileta de gofio. Mas que un libro de ficciones, este es un verdadero manual contra la solemnidad.

This Reader aims to help students start reading original Sanskrit literature. When we study ancient languages, there often is quite a gap between introductory, grammar-based classes and independent reading of original texts. This Reader bridges that gap by offering complete grammar and vocabulary notes for 40 entertaining, thought-provoking or simply beautiful passages from Sanskrit narrative and epic, as well as over 130 subhasitas (epigrams). These readings are complemented by review sections on syntax, word formation and compounding, a 900-word study vocabulary, complete transliterations and literal translations of all readings, as well as supplementary online resources. The Reader can be used for self-study and in a classroom, both to accompany introductory Sanskrit courses and to succeed them.
