The universal story of dishonor. Borges H.L.

Jorge Louis Borges is one of the most famous writers of the twentieth century, which largely determined the appearance of modern literature. The texts of Borges, whether it is fiction, poetry or thoughts, are a kind of intellectual game - they are full of secrets and fantastic images, whose origins should be sought in the literature and cultures of the past.

The collection "The General History of Besides" is a collection of stories about people who have a moral fall, crimes and a shame opened the way to glory. Describing the monstrous atrocities that have become a legend, Borges remains faithful to his tendency to literary hoaxes. According to him, in the book “There is only visibility, a membrane of images; Perhaps that is why the book and the readers like. ”

The book also included the collection“ History of Eternity ”, in which the author combined thoughts on the cyclical time of time, reviews of non -existent books, a review of various translations of the fairy tales“ Thousands and one night ", A treatise on scald poetry and much more.
