Jorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges (Buenos Aires, August 24, 1899 - Geneva, June 14, 1986) was an Argentine writer, one of the lead authors of the literature twentieth century. Published short essays, stories and poems. His work in literature and fundamental in human thought, has been the subject of careful analysis and multiple interpretations, transcends any classification and excludes any dogmatismo.1
He has been featured as one of the greatest scholars of the twentieth century, which does not prevent the reading of his writings inspire moments of deep emotion or simple distraction. Ontologies fantastic genealogies synchronous grammars utopian fictional geographies, multiple universal stories, bestiaries logical syllogisms ornithological narrative ethics, mathematics imaginary theological thrillers, nostalgic memories fabricated geometries and are part of the vast landscape that the works of Borges offers both scholars and casual readers. And above all things, philosophy, conceived as perplexity, thought and conjecture, and poetry, the highest form of rationality. Being a pure writer, but paradoxically, preferred by the semiotic, mathematicians, linguists, philosophers and mythologists, Borges offers-through the perfection of his language, his knowledge, the universality of its ideas, the originality of his fictions and the beauty of his poetry, a work that lives up to the English language and mind universal.2
Blind at age 55, controversial figure, with policy positions that prevented him from winning the Nobel Prize Literature which was nominated for almost thirty years, Borges has always dreamed that posterity would forgive him his mistakes and giving him the glory that will be remembered for his best texts.
"That an individual in another individual wants to awaken memories that did not belong to more than a third is an apparent paradox. Run to disregard this paradox is the will of every innocent life. "JLBorges.
