Carlos Tapia (Buenos Aires, Argentina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Borges: An Intimate Portrait (Hardcover)
Estela Canto was a closely friend of the genial Jorge Luis Borges, and here, We can Know the origins of the ideas and the facts that created the special way to understand and to see the world, by the argentine writer.
She make an interesting analysis of the fictions written by Borges, taking elements of the personal history and the moments lived with himself.
It's very clever the interpretation of the tale "The Aleph", like a mystical experience (a place where can be seen all places)
more than a prophecy of internet, like many people want to see.
Since I began to read this essay-biography, I couldn't read anything more, 'till I finished it.
I want to remember the word of Borges to say to you: I hope that you'll be the one who this book was waiting for.
