Description
This collection of essays by Jorge Luis Borges is a remarkable exploration of language, literature and philosophy. Spanning over three decades, Borges' work ranges from discussions on universal languages to justifications for suicide, and critiques of time and dreams.
With extraordinary erudition, Borges draws connections between literary figures such as Pascal, Coleridge, and Wilde, and explores the works of writers like Omar Khayyam, Joseph Conrad, and Cervantes. This book is a testament to his unique ability to weave together disparate ideas and subjects into a cohesive and thought-provoking whole.
First published in 1964, this edition features 223 pages bound in paperback. It offers a fascinating insight into the mind of one of the 20th century's greatest writers.
