Overview
Dos figuras fundamentales de la literatura en español cara a cara.
«Esta colección de artículos, conferencias, reseñas y notas da testimonio de más de medio siglo de lecturas de un autor que ha sido para mí una fuente inagotable de placer intelectual. Muchas veces lo he releído y, a diferencia de lo que me ocurre con otros escritores que me marcaron, nunca me decepcionó; al contrario, cada nueva lectura renueva mi entusiasmo y felicidad, revelándome nuevos secretos y sutilezas de ese mundo borgeano tan inusitado en sus temas y tan diáfano y elegante en su expresión. Siempre leí a Borges no solo con la exaltación que despierta un gran escritor; también, con una indefinible nostalgia y la sensación de que algo de aquel deslumbrante universo salido de su imaginación y de su prosa me estará siempre negado, por más que tanto lo admire y goce con él.».- MARIO VARGAS LLOSA
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A collection of texts about Borges written by Mario Vargas Llosa, Nobel Prize for Literature.
Two fundamental figures from Spanish literature face to face.
“This collection of articles, conferences, reviews and notes testifies to more than half a century of readings by an author who has been for me an inexhaustible source of intellectual pleasure. I have reread it many times and, unlike what happens with other writers who influenced me, I was never disappointed; On the contrary, each new reading renews my enthusiasm and happiness, revealing to me new secrets and subtleties of that Borgean world so unusual in its themes and so diaphanous and elegant in its expression. I always read Borges not only with the exaltation that a great writer awakens; but also, with an indefinable nostalgia and the feeling that something of that dazzling universe of his imagination and his prose will always be denied me, no matter how much I admire and enjoy it with him.” -MARIO VARGAS LLOSA
