This book focuses on the ways in which Borges uses events and experiences from his own life, in order to demonstrate how they become the principal structuring motifs of his work. It aims to show how these experiences, despite being 'heavily disguised', are crucial components of some of Borges's most canonical short stories, particularly from the famous collections Ficciones and El Aleph. Exploring the rich tapestry of symmetries, doubles and allusions and the roles played by translation and the figure of the creator, the book provides new readings of these stories, revealing their hidden personal, emotional and spiritual dimensions. These insights shed fresh light on Borges's supreme literary craftsmanship and the intimate puzzles of his fictions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cynthia Lucy Stephens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 185566349X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781855663497\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tamesis Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/18\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Cynthia Lucy Stephens","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43993640173823,"sku":"9781855663497","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1193d47c-76e9-4a20-b347-f823ce35b300.jpg?v=1683325470","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-borges-enigma-cynthia-lucy-stephens-9781855663497","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
