In the universe 'Cortázar' all coincidences can realize, but in the happy circumstances of an anarchic temperament, which allows this writer to welcome the fantastic, the unexpected, the unapparent reality, without prejudice or fears, leading to an extraordinary literary production that describes with great accuracy the coming of what he will sometimes call -following Jung- archetype or collective unconscious. We thus propose an analysis of the different facets that the encounter as such can have in Cortázar's work, not only as a romantic meeting in the subway or the streets of Paris, nor only as the paradoxical encounter of a character with his death, but mostly as the physical, almost pathetic encounter of the writer with the yonder and the beyond, the otherness: that enigmatic reality that visits him and initiates the narrative, requiring the writer's voice, hands, words and all his skills as a translator of the unapparent.
