In 1931, while on holiday in Arcachon, Huidobro and the
Franco-German artist and writer, Hans (Jean) Arp together
wrote Tres novelas exemplares (Three Exemplary Novels
— no doubt a reference to the Exemplary Novels by
Cervantes, to which of course they bear no resemblance at all), a
set of wild quasi-surrealist "stories". In 1935, Huidobro — once
again living in Chile — offered the set to a publisher in
Santiago, but was told that the book was too short. Accordingly he
wrote two further stories on his own, and the whole volume was
titled Tres inmensas novelas. Which are therefore, not three,
not huge and not novels. This volume offers all five stories in a
bilingual format, and the cover is almost a copy of the
one used in the first edition.
