Rutenio
Julio Cortázar is an Argentinian writer born the August 26th 1914 with Brussels, Argentinian parents. At the four years age, he moves with his family with Buenos Aires, in the district called Banfield. In 1932, thanks to the reading of Opium of Jean Cocteau, it discovers surrealism. Although it never could finish its studies with the Université of Buenos Aires, he becomes professor of French Littérature with the Université of Cuyo, in the province of Mendoza. The nature of its novels, as the book of Handbook or Hopscotch, leads the Oulipo to propose to him to become member of the group. Engaged writer, it refuses, Oulipo being a group without political step.
In 1951, opposed to the government of Perón, it emigrates in France, where it will live until its death. It works there then for UNESCO as a translator.
Later in its life it is interested in the political left in Latin America, and declares that it supports the cuban revolution and the Sandinista S with the Nicaragua.
He married three times, his wives being (in chronological order) Aurora Bernárdez, Ugné Karvelis and Carol Dunlop.
He is naturalized French at the end of his life in 1981.
He dies of Leucémie the February 12th 1984 with Paris. Its tomb with the Cimetière of Montparnasse is a place of worship for young readers who leave drawings of a hopscotch on paper and some times wine glass.
