NeoDB

Borges's exquisite writing skills are underpinned by a vast and diverse reading and a lifelong passion for scholarship. His nonfiction is imbued with a wide variety of imaginative literary motivations. This book, a collection of lectures, published in 1980, contains seven lectures delivered by Borges in the summer of 1977. These lectures address topics such as The Divine Comedy, Nightmares, The Thousand and One Nights, Buddhism, poetry, Jewish mysticism, and blindness. The lectures explore Borges's involvement with The Divine Comedy, nightmares blending mirrors and labyrinths, Eastern consciousness, the nature of Buddhism, the aesthetics of poetry, the concept of sacred texts, and the tools of art.
