This review is from: Selected poems, 1923-1967 (English and Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)
This is an excellent collection of poetry by the great Jorge Luis Borges. This bilingual edition was prepared with Borges' assistance and the translations were produced by an unusually distinguished group of poets and translators. There are many fine outstanding poems included. Given the difficulty of translation from a language with many more natural rhymes than English, the results are impressive. Many of Borges' familiar devices - libraries, labyrinths, mirrors, tigers, knife fighting - are featured. Some of his favorite themes of determinism, the nature of time, mortality, and identity occur in these poems. Much of this poetry involves conscious attempts to give events of Argentine history, particularly events involving his ancestors, a mythic quality. A wonderful collection of work.
