Borges Jorge Luis

Summary

 

Jorge Luis Borges: That Art of Verse

Recently discovered tape-recorded lectures given by one of the most prominent writers of the 20th century at Harvard in 1967-1968. Borges talks about the mystery of poetry, which in its essence is insoluble, about metaphor and the skill of combinatorics, telling stories - from ancient epics to novels and Hollywood films, about the music of words and the problem of translation, the relationship between thought and poetry, which are not necessarily connected. The book concludes with the chapter "The Poet's Faith", in which the author, defining himself first and foremost as a reader, describes his relationship to literature. All these lectures reflect his immense erudition and well-readness, as well as his characteristic slightly ironic approach to the subject, and the thread is his own poetics, which, admittedly, he does not explicitly speak about anywhere, but is still so present in the interpretation of certain literary phenomena that these texts can be understood as a kind of presentation of the theoretical foundation on which Borges' short stories rest.
