It is the story of a construction watchman and his family, who live in an unfinished building in one of the neighborhoods of Buenos Aires. Periodically, all family members see ghosts, but the teenage daughter is most interested in them. As it characterizes Cesar Aira's literary world full of strangeness, "Ghosts" is an allegorical text in which the writer focuses on materialism and the class factor.
It is a confession given to the reader by a six-year-old introverted boy Cesari. Cesari perceives himself as a girl and cannot understand why he is a boy to the rest of the world, which causes him anxiety and excitement incomprehensible to the mind of a child. This book is not an autobiography, although the main character is named after the author, which adds more intimacy to the text and makes it a kind of guide to empathy.
Describes the period in the life of the German artist Johann Moritz Rugendas (1802-1858), when Alexander Humboldt advised him to leave Europe to visit the wonderful landscapes of Chile, Argentina and Mexico. Rugendas is considered one of the best European artists of the nineteenth century, who visited Latin America, studied it well and reflected it in his works. The work follows this journey, although the author prefers to unfold an alternative history and tells us about the ambitions and aspirations of an artist traveling in a fictional world.
