»Es war um 1907.« In Paris lernen sich der Deutsche Jules und der Franzose Jim kennen, eine enge Freundschaft entsteht. Sie teilen die Liebe zur Literatur, zur Kunst und zu den Frauen, von denen nicht wenige durch ihr Leben gehen. Doch als Kathe auftaucht, eine abenteuerlustige Berlinerin mit dem Lächeln einer griechischen Statue, von der beide gleichermaßen fasziniert sind, bittet Jules: »Die da nicht? … ja, Jim?« Jules und Kathe ziehen nach Deutschland, heiraten und bekommen zwei Kinder … erst nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg sehen die Freunde sich wieder – und es entwickelt sich eine leidenschaftliche Dreiecksbeziehung. Doch bald wird die Amour fou zwischen Kathe und Jim zu einem tragischen Spiel, bei dem es keinen Gewinner geben kann ... Eine zeitlose Geschichte über Freundschaft, Liebe und Freiheit.
Der spanische Lyriker und Prosaist Juan Ramón Jiménez wurde 1881 in Moguer geboren und starb 1958 in Puerto Rico, wo er seit Beginn des Spanischen Bürgerkrieges im Exil lebte. Von seinen zahlreichen Gedichtbänden und poetischen Prosaromanen ist Platero und ich wohl der bekannteste und beliebteste. Juan Ramón Jiménez gilt als einer der bedeutendsten spanischen Lyriker des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts und wurde für seine Dichtung 1956 mit dem Nobelpreis für Literatur ausgezeichnet.

Juan Carlos Onetti ist der große Solitär in der modernen lateinamerikanischen Literatur, einer der maßgeblichen Schriftsteller des 20. Jahrhunderts, ein Autor von künstlerischer, ästhetischer und moralischer Kompromisslosigkeit. In gründlich revidierten Übersetzungen und zum Teil erstmals auf Deutsch bietet die Werkausgabe sämtliche vollendete Romane und Erzählungen Onettis, zusammen mit Anmerkungen und Nachworten der Herausgeber. Am Anfang steht sein ruppiger Erstling Der Schacht von 1939 – ein unausschöpflicher, immer neu zu lesender Text. Daneben enthält Band 1 der Werkausgabe die beiden bislang noch nie auf Deutsch erschienenen frühen Romane Niemandsland (1941) und Für diese Nacht (1943). Band 2 der Werkausgabe versammelt drei Romane: Das kurze Leben, 1950 erschienen, hat Onettis Ruhm begründet: ein herausforderndes, ebenso faszinierendes wie hartes Stück Literatur. Noch stärker verdichtet, enigmatisch bei erster Lektüre und immer leuchtender beim Wiederlesen, sind Onettis Kurzromane Abschiede und Für ein Grab ohne Namen von 1954 und 1959. Band 3 der Werkausgabe enthält die beiden Romane Leichensammler (1964) und Die Werft (1961), die das Herzstück des Zyklus von Santa María bilden: Mit wenigen Strichen eine Gestalt in ihrer widersprüchlichen persönlichen Wahrheit hervortreten zu lassen, eine Konstellation zweier Menschen wie eingeätzt zu umreißen, herausgelöst aus allen vorgegebenen Mustern: diese Kunst Onettis ist oft bewundert worden. Band 4 der Werkausgabe enthält Onettis letzten Romane, in ihnen steigt er tief hinab in den Schacht seiner Erfahrung des Lebens – aber wie unterschiedlich ist das, was er als Erzähler schreibend hervorholt: vier Romane, ›reife‹ und ›späte‹, die verschiedener nicht sein könnten und die in je eigener Form und Sprache eine besondere Geschichte erzählen. Der große Romancier Onetti hat ein Leben lang auch Geschichten geschrieben. In Band 5 der Werkausgabe sind erstmals sämtliche Erzählungen auf Deutsch versammelt, und so sehr

Max Frisch im Nachwort: »Don Juan ist ein Intellektueller wenn auch von gutem Wuchs und ohne alles Brillenhafte. Was ihn unwiderstehlich macht für die Damen von Sevilla ist durchaus seine Geistigkeit, sein Anspruch auf eine männliche Geistigkeit, die ein Affront ist, indem sie ganz andere Ziele kennt als die Frau und die Frau von vornherein al Episode einsetzt - mit dem bekannten Ergebnis freilich, daß die Episode schließlich sein ganzes Leben verschlingt.«
