Borges, oral

Douban

NeoDB

A collection of lectures. Between May and June 1978, Borges gave five lectures at the University of Belgrano, Argentina, titled "Books, Immortality, Emanuel Swedenborg, Detective Fiction, and Time." While the themes may seem grand and abstract, the author explores new approaches, offering readers a fresh and speculative experience: discussing the history of books through the lens of oral tradition, analyzing the meaning of immortality through poetry, and using Swedenborg to explore the philosophical questions of life and death, he hailed the detective novel as a savior in a chaotic literary age. Throughout, the five lectures are woven together by the fundamental metaphysical question of "time."
