La gran novela de Adolfo Bioy Casares sobre una aventura cotidiana que poco a poco va cobrando tintes fantásticos. Ambientada en los años treinta en una Buenos Aires fantasmal, El sueño de los héroes parte de la juerga que se dan Emilio Gauna y sus amigos durante tres noches de carnaval por los suburbios de la ciudad. Nada debería ser más mundano, pero al recordarla Gauna se convence de que en la última noche vivió «una prodigiosa aventura». Cuando intente repetirla tres años más tarde, el sueño de una revelación se convertirá en un enfrentamiento con su destino. Desde su publicación en 1954, este clásico de la literatura argentina no ha dejado de fascinar a los lectores con su intrigante mezcla de lo fantástico y lo cotidiano. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION At the end of carnival 1927, Emilio Gauna had an experience that he knew was the culmination of his life. The problem is that Gauna can only dimly remember what happened: he was out on the town with his raucous, reckless friends when a masked woman appeared. Several hours later, gasping and horrified, Gauna awoke at the edge of a lake. Three years later, he tries to solve the mystery the only way he knows: by re-creating the same situation and reliving it- despite the warnings of his secret protector, the Sorcerer. In The Dreams of Heroes, Adolfo Bioy Casares assembles magicians, prophetic and brave women, shamefully self-conscious men and Buenos Aires under the rubric of a sinister and mocking fate, and thrusts them forward into the dizzying realm of memory, doom and cyclical time. Written in 1954, The Dream of Heroes stands as a predecessor of and model for a whole school of European and American novels that followed but never quite matched it.… (meer)

Las preocupaciones y los temas característicos de los relatos de Adolfo Bioy Casares se dan cita nuevamente en EL SUEÑO DE LOS HÉROES, novela en la que lo fantástico irrumpe en la trivialidad cotidiana de una pandilla de amigos que, durante tres días del carnaval de 1927, recorren los suburbios de Buenos Aires en busca de aventuras y diversiones. Articulada en torno al enfrentamiento entre el turbio doctor Valerga y Emilio Gauna y a la pasión de éste por Clara, el cruce entre espacios y tiempos diferentes adquiere en esta ocasión un tono sombrío y dramático, ya que el intento de regresar al pasado ignora de forma imprudente que ese peligroso viaje no implica la repetición de las situaciones vividas, sino que puede dar lugar al despliegue de posibilidades anteriormente evitadas.

This is a great idea-- for a little tale, maybe even an extended short story-- but somehow I ended up feeling it was too bad Bioy Casares didn't have his great friend Borges' love of brevity in this case. The narrative padding he adds between Gauna and his inevitable destiny isn't interesting enough for its own sake. The whole story's too easy to reduce to a single line: a woman's true love is not enough to overcome a man's overwhelming desire for violence. Which is either too simply and patly true, or not true at all, in which case the you'd have to dismiss the whole story. Still has some worthwhile moments. ( )

In this novel Casares returns to the topics of time and memory that made The Invention of Morel such a fascinating experience. It’s 1927 and Emilio Gauna, a lowlife mechanic from Buenos Aires wins a thousand pesos at the horse tracks: being young and having no responsibilities, family or love, he decides to blow it all with his friends, local street thugs who dream of becoming famous criminals, on a three-night binge during the Carnival. But on the third night something happens, or so Gauna believes, something important to him that he can’t remember in his drunken stupor but which lingers in his mind nostalgically. Finding out what it was that happened becomes his obsession.

Dream of Heroes is less fantastic than The Invention of Morel and A Plan for Escape: whereas Casares’ first two novels are straight Kafkaesque science-fiction nightmares, this one is more a novel about growing up and defying fate: in the course of the narrative Gauna leaves his old friends, whom he considers failures, to settle down in marriage, a role he never accepts completely, and become a respectable person. But being a family man stops him from investigating the mysterious night that haunts his hazy memory. Although Gauna sees marriage as a hindrance to him, in a heartbreaking twist at the end of the novel, it proves to be the only chance at living he ever had.

Then one day in 1930 history seems to repeat itself when Gauna wins a thousand pesos at the horse tracks again: attempting to reconstruct the events of 1927 to restore his memory, he invites his old friends for a new three-night binge through Buenos Aires. Gauna immediately faces the problems of reliving the past as old friends went way, places closed down and even the atmosphere and habits changed. And strangely his friends don’t seem to remember certain episodes that Gauna is sure happened, so maybe they’re conspiring against him or perhaps he’s insane. Casares, expert at creating tension, keeps all possibilities open until the denouement, one of the most beautiful and tragic endings to any novel I’ve ever read.

This was a fine novel, not as mind-blowing or tightly-plotted as Casares’ first two novels, but what it misses in plot and tension it gains in character study. Emilio Gauna is perhaps everyone: he’s the man who wants to go back in time, the ultimate nostalgic, yearning for something he doesn’t fully understand, the man not content with what he already has, who can’t see his life is already written for him. Fans of intensely fatalistic novels like The Outsider or Slaughterhouse-Five, should enjoy Dream of Heroes. ( )
