El Hacedor
El Hacedor | Jorge Luis Borges
3 posts | 7 read | 4 to read
Yo vivo, yo me dejo vivir, para que Borge pueda tramar su literatura y esa literatura me justifica. De Borges y yo Considerado por el mismo Borges como su libro ms personal, El hacedor explora la relacin entre el mundo interior y exterior del artista, el misterioso espacio entre sus sueos y la vida real. Un maravilloso cruce de gneros y temticas, los relatos, ensayos y poemas de esta coleccin reflejan muchas de las preocupaciones centrales que recorren toda la obra borgiana. En fascinantes escritos como Dilogo sobre un dilogo, La trama, Dreamtigers, y Borges y yo, entre otros muchos, Borges examina la serenidad de la mente creativa, el espectculo de su figura pblica, y mira hacia el ms all: el mundo eterno en el que sus libros continuarn dialogando con la literatura universal mucho despus de que l mismo haya desaparecido. Valorado por la crtica como una de las obras ms importantes del siglo xx, El hacedor es un extraordinario ejemplo del poder del maestro argentino, el alcance de su visin creativa y su inagotable contribucin a la literatura.

There is a line in Verlaine I shall not recall again,
There is a street close by forbidden to my feet,
There's a mirror that's seen me for the very last time,
There is a door that I have locked till the end of the world.
Among the books in my library (I have them before me)
There are some that I shall never open now.
This summer I complete my fiftieth year;
Death is gnawing at me ceaselessly.

saresmoore Welp, I‘m not looking forward to turning 50! 😳 7y
Bookwomble @saresmoore Been there, done that! 😂 I first read this a few years before I turned the half-century, which actually came and went without much fuss 😊 7y
saresmoore As it should! Unless the fuss is people scrambling to gift you with books. 😉 7y

Bookwomble @saresmoore I will have definitely got books, of only because I will have bought some for myself. You have to plan these things you avoid disappointment 😁 7y
Bookwomble Good grief, my grammar is terrible in that comment! 7y
saresmoore It‘s true. My preferred birthday celebration is always a nice, quiet lunch and several hours alone in a musty, old bookstore. My family have stopped trying to throw me surprise parties. 7y
Bookwomble @saresmoore A surprise party would not be high on my list of enjoyable things. 7y

Leaving behind the babble of the plaza, I enter the Library. I feel, almost physically, the gravitation of the books, the enveloping serenity of order, time magically dessicated and preserved.

vivastory Borges is one of my favorites! 7y
Bookwomble @vivastory I've only read Dreamtigers, Fictions, and The Book of Imaginary Beings by Borges, but I've really enjoyed them so I'll be reading more. 7y
