Prologues, with a prologue of prologues. Jorge Luis Borges

A collection of various prefaces written by Jorge Luis Borges between 1924 and 1974. The book brings together dozens of texts scattered across different editions that belong to this particular genre, in which Borges also showed his master class. In this volume, among many other literary avatars, find their echoes "the smoke and fire of Carlyle, the father of Nazism, the tales of Cervantes, who has not yet abandoned the dream of a second Don Quixote, the ingenious myth of Facundo, the powerful continental voice of Walt Whitman, the pleasant tricks of Paul Valéry, the oneiric chess game of Lewis Carroll, the Eleatic humiliations of Kafka, the real heavens of Swedenborg, the sound and fury of Macbeth, the smiling mysticism of Macedonio Fernández and the desperate mysticism of Almafuerte."
