The Aleph and Other Stories, 1933-1969
"Dazzling and unmistakable in style, resonant in meaning, Jorge Luis Borges' 'The Aleph and Other Stories' contains the best of Borges' fiction. Included also is a lengthy autobiographical essay written especially for this volume. The twenty stories in this book cover the whole span and all the various facets of Borges' forty-year career as a short story writer. The collection is the most definitive and comprehensive available in English."--Jacket.
El Aleph
Der argentinische Schriftsteller Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) gilt als ein Literat, der bereits in seinen Werken der 30er und 40er Jahre des 20. Jahrhunderts Strukturen geschaffen hat, die später die Postmoderne prägen sollten. Foucault hat sich auf ihn berufen. Borges Erzählungen sind insbesondere von intertextuellen Bezugnahmen und sich in Paradoxien verstrickende Narrative durchzogen. Die Folge ist ein dezentrierter sowie dialogisierender Text, der keine eindeutige Aussage hervorbringt, sondern in einer vielstimmigen und unabgeschlossenen Textauslegung zur Wirkung kommt. Die vorliegende Studie stellt zur Diskussion, ob ein wesentlicher Grund für Borges’ innovatives, die literarisch...
El Aleph
Borges: el autor infinito El Aleph es un libro icónico de Jorge Luis Borges, el gran autor argentino admirado por García Márquez, Vargas Llosa, John Banville, Michel Houellebecq y tantos otros escritores contemporáneos. Los cuentos que lo integran son un prodigio de puzles filosóficos, intrigas fantásticas o policiacas y personajes que se graban en la memoria, como Emma Zunz. «El inmortal» explora el efecto que la inmortalidad causaría en los hombres; «Los teólogos» es un sueño melancólico sobre la identidad personal; «La otra muerte», una fantasía sobre el tiempo. «El Aleph» -publicado por primera vez en 1945 y que en 1949 dio nombre al libro- es uno de los mejores cuento...
The Story of Us
My intension is to start from the beginning. But when the beginning happened? Contemporary theory is that everything started with Big Bang which affirms that all elements in the universe: time, space, energy and matter were compressed in a point of infinite density called ""singularity"" which exploded some 13.7 billion years ago.
Borges's Poe
Esplin argues that Borges, through a sustained and complex literary relationship with Poe's works, served as the primary catalyst that changed Poe's image throughout Spanish America from a poet-prophet to a timeless fiction writer.
Rethinking Technologies
Grounded on the assumption that the relationship between the arts and the sciences is dictated by technology, the essays in Rethinking Technologies explore trends in contemporary thought that have been changing our awareness of science, technology, and the arts.
Borges, a Life
Short story writer, essayist, and poet Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986) revolutionized the literature of Latin America almost single-handedly and left a legion of readers and admirers worldwide.Based on an unprecedented range of interviews and on research into previously unknown or unavailable resources, this is the first biography in any language to encompass the entire span of Borges’s life and work. In Borges, Edwin Williamson brings to life the little known human side of the writer: his ancestral roots in Argentina, his relations with family and friends, his passions and despairs, and the evolution of his political ideas. By correlating this new biographical information with Borges’s literary texts, Williamson also reconstructs the dynamics of his inner world—the conflicts, desires, and obsessions that drove the man and shaped his work. This major new study finally unlocks the mysteries that have obscured the life of Borges. The result is a compelling and often poignant portrait that will radically transform our views of this modern master.
Viviendo el Aleph
"El espacio cósmico estaba ahí", dice Jorge Luis Borges en referencia al Aleph, ese objeto que encerraba todos los lugares de la Tierra. Es posible que ahora, con la cantidad apabullante de datos que circulan en Internet, estemos viviendo una versión renovada del artificio borgeano y, también, nos encontremos expuestos a sus mayores arbitrariedades. Todos conocemos la imbricación del teléfono y la televisión, el ritmo que impone el zapping, el ejercicio de libertad y exhibición que de los blogs, la existencia de nuevas formas de relación social y personal en espacios virtuales como el chat y la mensajería instantánea. Todo el mundo, en todo momento, quiere estar informado de lo qu...
