Julio Cortázar was an Argentine writer born in Brussels, Belgium in 1914. He is considered one of the greatest writers of Latin American literature and a key figure in the Latin American literary boom of the 1960s.

His most famous works include the short story collection "Bestiario," the novel "Rayuela" (Hopscotch), and the collection of short stories "Todos los fuegos el fuego" (All Fires the Fire).

Cortázar's writing style is characterized by his use of experimental narrative techniques and his exploration of complex themes such as identity, time, and reality. He was an influential figure in the development of magical realism, a literary movement that combines surrealism and realism.

Cortázar died in Paris in 1984, at the age of 69. His legacy lives on through his literary works, which continue to be celebrated and studied today. In honor of his contributions to literature, the city of Cortazar, Guanajuato, Mexico was named after him.
