Buddhism, love, Henry James, and the tango are just a few of the topics Jorge Luis Borges, Argentina’s master writer, and extraordinary conversationalist, discusses in the first volume of the remarkable new series, Conversations. The eighty-four-year-old blind man’s wit is unending and results in lively and insightful discussions that configure a loose autobiography of a subtle, teasing mind. Borges’ favorite concepts such as time and dreaming are touched upon, but these dialogues are not a true memoir, they are unrestricted conversations about life at present.
The Argentine short-story writer, essayist, poet and translator, contributed immensely to twentieth-century literature, and more specifically to the genres of magical realism and fantasy. As he progressively lost his sight—he became completely blind by the age of fifty-five—the darkness behind his eyelids held enchanting imagery that translated into rich symbolism in his work. The inner workings of his curious mind are seen vividly in his conversations with Ferrari, and there’s not a subject on which he doesn’t cast surprising new light. As in his tale “The Other,” where two Borgeses meet up on a bench beside the River Charles, this is a dialogue between a young poet and the elder teller of tales where all experience floats in a miracle that defies linear time.
Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986), Argentine writer, poet and philosopher, is best known for his books Ficciones and The Aleph. Osvaldo Ferrari is a poet, essayist and university professor. Jason Wilson is emeritus professor at University College London.
一方面,你不时惊叹于博尔赫斯他庞大恐怖的阅读量,叹为观止的记忆力,信手拈来的引经据典和某些瞬间闪现的灵感乍现(博尔赫斯所说的“某种古人称为缪斯,希伯来人称为灵体,叶芝称为大记忆的事物。而现在,我们的当代神话更偏爱不那么美丽的名字,如潜意识、集体意识等等。”...
评分20世纪的西班牙文学里,大概无人能与博尔赫斯比肩,20世纪的世界文坛里,博尔赫斯亦是最伟大的作家之一。而我们谈论博尔赫斯时,绕不过他新颖奇特的创作风格。在一个起点到一个终点的直线叙事的文学时代,他创作的表达方式跳出了写实叙事的传统窠臼,成为“叙事形式的反叛者”...
评分博尔赫斯对我来说具有特殊的意义。我的第一本译作(尽管不 是第一本正式出版的)是《博尔赫斯1923-1967年诗选》,那本书 是以博尔赫斯一生中最初写下的篇章开始的;而我迄今为止做的最后一件事就是此时此刻在为博尔赫斯最后的对话集(我们已经看到博尔赫斯也将其视为一种写作)...

评分文/文小妖 “我既不为少数人写作也不为多数人写作,而是每当我感到有些东西需要表达出来时,我便提笔写作。”关于写作,阿根廷作家豪尔赫·路易斯·博尔赫斯曾如此说道。这位阿根廷最杰出的诗人、小说家兼翻译家如同一位神秘而又极具魅力的思想巨人,洞悉着世间一切,他的作品...

评分略感觉JLB小傲慢,还有身为南美上流社会对欧洲的无限向往与崇拜(数次提及European in exile)
