Octaedro (Octahedron) is a 1974 short story collection by Julio Cortázar.
Its name comes from the octahedron, a 3D geometric solid with eight identical faces, reflecting the eight stories that comprise it.
It builds on the social and political themes of his earlier Libro de Manuel (1973), relating them to other more universal themes.
[1] Octaedro was published while Julio Cortázar was taking part in the Russell Court II in Rome (1974–1976) to examine the political situation and the violations of human rights in Latin America.
