Overview
\"A probing, engaging examination of the work of Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) in the context of Argentinian, Latin American, and world literature, from his beginnings as an avant-gardist to his consecration as one of the most influential literary figures of the twentieth century. In essays, stories, and poems, Borges developed a unique voice that allowed him to explore favorite intellectual motifs: labyrinths, the infinite, the universe as a book, memory, and storytelling as fate. Just as he renewed the Spanish language by means of a tight, almost mathematical style, he redefined Argentine literature by inviting its practitioners to tackle universal themes, and he embraced translation as a strategy for reconceptualizing the original text. Ilan Stavans, a world authority on Borges and an internationally celebrated essayist and translator, reflects on what the term Borgesian means in an age of instant information, consumerism, and apathy toward reading\"-- Provided by publisher.
