Dear people:
I apologize for my awful English.
I own a Spanish edition of a famous sci-fi/fantasy book signed by its (now late) author, Adolfo Bioy Casares, in 1985 (also with a foreword by Jorge Luis Borges): "La invención de Morel" (The Invention of Morel), that was shown in the LOST series (4th season, 4th episode) when Sawyer (Josh Holloway) was reading it. I copy below a comment posted by an user in Amazon:
"The masterpiece among Bioy Casares’ short, intense novels is The Invention of Morel, a book that won raves from Borges (who placed it alongside Franz Kafka’s The Trial), was called "perfect" by Octavio Paz, and inspired one of French cinema’s most infamous movies, Last Year at Marienbad (1961). Though it was published in 1940, the book’s continuing relevance was recently proven when it was featured on Lost — a cameo many viewers perceive as a key to that TV show’s plot."
I’m sure about the high price of this item since: a) it’s signed by the author; b) the author died in 1999; c) the book appeared in a LOST episode; d) fans of the series think the book is a key to the show’s plot.
You can make me an offer and the book goes to the best price I get.
My best regards,
Esteban Lozano
