El Cocodrilo, publicado por primera vez en 1865, narra la extraordinaria historia de Iván Matveich, un funcionario público que en su visita a un parque de diversiones es devorado por un cocodrilo, frente a la mirada atónita de su mujer y de su mejor amigo.
Sin embargo, el funcionario no muere, muy por el contrario, se instala cómodamente en el interior de la bestia y desde allí inicia una serie de conversaciones y discursos que dan cuenta de su torpeza, oportunismo y codicia.
El Cocodrilo fue incluido en La Biblioteca de Babel, una colección de lecturas fantásticas dirigida por el escritor argentino Jorge Luis Borges. ENGLISH Published for the first time in 1865, The Crocodile tells the story of Ivan Matveich, a public servant who is devoured by a crocodile on a visit to an amusement park while his wife and best friend watch on in astonishment.
However, the man doesn't die—quite the contrary. He settles in comfortably inside the animal, and from there initiates a series of conversations and speeches that reveal his ineptitude, opportunism and greed.
The Crocodile was included in The Library of Babel, a collection of fantastic stories compiled by Argentine author, Jorge Luis Borges.
