Resultado de "Jorge Borges" em Todas as categorias

Ficciones es posiblemente la obra más reconocida de Jorge Luis Borges y un hito en la historia de la literatura. Aquí se encuentran lo policiaco («La muerte y la brújula») y lo fantástico («La lotería en Babilonia»), lo irreal («Las ruinas circulares») y lo imaginario («Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius»), el que Borges consideró acaso su mejor cuento («El Sur») y uno de los comienzos más cautivadores de un relato jamás escrito («Nadie lo vio desembarcar en la unánime noche»).Cada uno de los dieciséis cuentos reunidos en este libro es, en sí, pieza fundacional y celebración del universo borgeano.

Todos los cuentos de Borges reunidos en un audiolibro

Poeta, ensayista y narrador, Borges es una de las figuras primordiales de la literatura universal. Ahora se reúnen en este audiolibro todos sus cuentos, uno de los legados más influyentes y deslumbrantes de la literatura occidental.

En El hacedor confluyen las simbologías de Oriente y Occidente, el cosmos y las cosmogonías, los siglos, las dinastías, lo universal y lo profundamente local: Heráclito, Homero, Dante con Rosas, Facundo y Juan Muraña. Tal diversidad de temas se corresponde con una multiplicidad de géneros. Así, los relatos, poemas y ensayos de estas páginas terminan configurando uno de los libros más personales del autor; una miscelánea que da cuenta de las preocupaciones que recorren toda la obra borgiana.

Gran parte de estos cuentos giran en torno al cumplimiento de un destino que se repite y que suele prefigurar un enfrentamiento. A veces los protagonistas son los hombres, como en «El otro duelo» o «Guayaquil»; otras son sus armas: dos cuchillos que se buscan largamente hasta por fin encontrarse y pelear.

En «El otro», el propio Borges se encuentra con su alter ego. «Ulrica» -su único relato de amor- cuenta la historia de un enamoramiento en apariencia efímero. «El Congreso» describe una empresa tan vasta que se confunde con el cosmos. «Undr» y «El espejo y la máscara» imaginan literaturas que constan de una sola palabra. «El libro de arena», en cambio, se centra en un volumen de incalculables hojas, monstruoso, que anida en la Biblioteca Nacional de Buenos Aires: sin principio ni fin, infinito y eterno como toda la obra borgeana.

Dice Borges que las páginas de este libro son el irresponsable juego de un tímido que no se animó a escribir cuentos y que se distrajo en falsear y tergiversar historias ajenas. Historias de infames: ladrones, rufianes, piratas, traidores. Aquí están, entre otros, el atroz Lazarus Morell, redentor de esclavos.

L'Aleph è una raccolta di racconti che prende il nome dall'ultima storia presente nella raccolta, in cui uno dei protagonisti descrive Aleph come "il luogo dove si trovano, senza confondersi, tutti i luoghi della terra, visti da tutti gli angoli". Ritroviamo in questo libro i temi prediletti da Borges: la metafisica, la morte e l'immortalità, i labirinti, l'infinito.

Luz era la hija del jefe. 18 años. Pura. Virgen. James su guardián. Su protector. Sólo tenía una misión: Mantenerla a salvo. Y una norma: No tocarla. James era la mano derecha de su padre. Eran una banda de moteros a la antigua. Con armas, drogas y negocios turbios. Y por supuesto...enemigos.

Quattordici racconti che è costruiscono un labirinto stratificato, dove la realtà non è mai reale e tutto è il contrario di tutto. Il doppio, l'illusione, il sogno, gli scherzi dello spazio e del tempo sono alcuni degli elementi che ci guidano in un mondo fantastico che rivela la maestria di un genio dal quale è solo possibile lasciarsi rapire.

The groundbreaking trans-genre work of Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) has been insinuating itself into the structure, stance, and very breath of world literature for well over half a century. Multi-layered, self-referential, elusive, and allusive writing is now frequently labelled Borgesian.

El Aleph es un libro icónico de Jorge Luis Borges, el gran autor argentino admirado por García Márquez, Vargas Llosa, Banville y tantos otros escritores contemporáneos. Los cuentos que lo integran son un prodigio de puzles filosóficos, intrigas fantásticas o policíacas y personajes que se graban en la memoria, como Emma Zunz.

Full of philosophical puzzles and supernatural surprises, these stories contain some of Borges’s most fully realized human characters. With uncanny insight he takes us inside the minds of an unrepentant Nazi, an imprisoned Mayan priest, fanatical Christian theologians, a woman plotting vengeance on her father’s “killer,” and a man awaiting his assassin in a Buenos Aires guest house.

For some fifty years, in intriguing and ingenious fictions that reimagined the very form of the short story—from his 1935 debut with A Universal History of Iniquity through his immensely influential collections Ficciones and The Aleph, the enigmatic prose poems of The Maker, up to his final work in the 1980s, Shakespeare’s Memory—Jorge Luis Borges returned again and again to his celebrated themes: dreams, duels, labyrinths, mirrors, infinite libraries, the manipulations of chance, gauchos, knife fighters, tigers, and the elusive nature of identity itself.

At the age of seventy, after a gap of twenty years, Jorge Luis Borges returned to writing short stories. In Brodie’s Report, he returned also to the style of his earlier years with its brutal realism, nightmares, and bloodshed. Many of these stories, including “Unworthy” and “The Other Duel,” are set in the macho Argentinean underworld, and even the rivalries between artists are suffused with suppressed violence. Throughout, opposing themes of fate and free will, loyalty and betrayal, time and memory flicker in the recesses of these compelling stories, among the best Borges ever wrote.

It will come as a surprise to some that the greater part of Jorge Luis Borges's extraordinary writing was not in the genres of fiction or poetry, but in the various forms of non-fiction prose. His thousands of pages of essays, reviews, prologues, lectures, and notes on politics and culture—though revered in Latin America and Europe as among his finest work—have scarcely been translated into English.

Though universally acclaimed for his dazzling fictions, Jorge Luis Borges always considered himself first and foremost a poet. This new bilingual selection brings together some two hundred poems, including scores of poems never previously translated. Edited by Alexander Coleman, it draws from a lifetime's work--from Borges's first published volume of verse, Fervor de Buenos Aires (1923), to his final work, Los conjurados, published just a year before his death in 1986.

Jorge Luis Borges has been called the greatest Spanish-language writer of the twentieth century. Now Borges's remarkable last major story collection, The Book of Sand, is paired with a handful of writings from the very end of his life. Brilliantly translated, these stories combine a direct and at times almost colloquial style coupled with Borges's signature fantastic inventiveness. Containing such marvelous tales as "The Congress," "Undr," "The Mirror and the Mask," and "The Rose of Paracelsus," this edition showcases Borges's depth of vision and superb image-conjuring power.

This landmark collection brings together for the first time in any language all of the sonnets of one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. More intimate and personally revealing than his fiction, and more classical in form than the inventive metafictions that are his hallmark, the sonnets reflect Borges in full maturity, paying homage to many of his literary and philosophical paragons—Cervantes, Milton, Whitman, Emerson, Joyce, Spinoza—while at the same time engaging the mysteries immanent in the quotidian.

Jorge Luis Borges wrote about Argentina as only someone passionate about his homeland can. On Argentina reveals the many facets of his passion in essays, poems, and stories through which he sought to bring Argentina forward on the world stage, and to do for Buenos Aires what James Joyce did for Dublin.

Jorge Luis Borges immersed himself and his readers in metaphysical fantasies—playing reason against faith, belief against logic. His profound knowledge of eastern religions was an endless source of inspiration for his writing. On Mysticism—edited by Borges’s widow, Maria Kodama—brings together a stunning group of prose pieces and poems that speak to this signature theme of his writing, from some of his most celebrated works to others that appear here in English for the first time.
