The Topless Tower (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781916232143)

The Topless Tower is Silvina Ocampo's most imaginative work, one which takes the canon of Western fantasy and turns it on its head. A cross between Alice in Wonderland and the short stories of Jorge Luis Borges, it packs a whole fantastical world into a swift fever-dream narrative.

The efforts of Leandro to escape the dreamlike tower where he has been spirited by the Devil are a key text of the South American surrealist movement.
