Description

Dreamtigers is a collection of poems, parables, and stories that presents a deeply personal work by Jorge Luis Borges. At first glance, it may appear to be a sampler of his writing, but upon closer examination, the reader discovers a unified self-revelation.

The book explores the relationship between the creative artist's dreams and the "real" world, with the central vision being that of a recluse in a library, looking ahead to a future where he will have disappeared, yet continue his dialogue with the immortals of the past through his books.

Borges reflects on a life of intense introspection, calm self-possession, and absorption in the world of imagination, while also acknowledging the public figure that is "the other one" - a persona about whom he reads with mixed emotions.
