Raymond Chandler published his first novel, The Big Sleep, in 1939. There are two Spanish translations of the novel, both titled El sueño eterno, one published in 1958 by Aguilar (Madrid) and the other in 1972 by Barral (Barcelona). This study analyzes irony in the two Spanish translations and concludes that both translations fail to reflect the degree of irony present in Chandler’s original, especially with respect to the translation of two key words, cute and giggle, and the dramatic effect of the novel’s climax is dampened as a consequence. Also, it is demonstrated that the 1972 version is, if not an outright plagiarism of the earlier 1958 version, at the very least a version which does not meet the criteria for originality.

ResumenEl presente texto se pregunta por el sentido de los “dos libros” contenidos en Rayuela y anunciados por Cortázar en el Tablero de dirección al inicio de la novela. Se propone aquí un análisis semióticoestructural centrado en dos modalidades del espacio narrativo que representan dos modos de cohesión textual: la sintagmática de los macro-espacios y la paradigmática de los micro-espacios en la novela. Mediante este análisis se intenta mostrar cómo la narrativa resultante de cada uno de los órdenes posibles de lectura (el consecutivo y el salteado) se sostiene sobre ejes de construcción distintos, dando lugar a dos sistemas comunicativos diferentes: uno característico de la narrativa, y el otro de la poesía.Palabras clave: Espacio narrativo, Cortázar, Rayuela, frontera semiótica, ejes sintagmático y paradigmático, novela poética.*************************************************Two books and one novel: the syntagmatic and paradigmatic function of Rayuela’s spacesAbstractThe present text considers the question for the sense of the two books contained in Rayuela, which were, also, announced by Cortazar in the Direction board at the beginning of the novel.
