A collection of short essays, some very short indeed, quite mixed in tone. Some are very intellectual. His reaction to the publication of Joyce's Finnegan's Wake is very funny, and also interesting is a review of an overtly anti-semitic children's book published in Germany in 1937. My favourite one is the last, on blindness, when he talks about how on going blind he decided to learn Old English, and then Old Norse. It's quite moving to think of someone who has lost the power to read books turning to Sweet's Anglo-Saxon Reader. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle Collane EditorialiPenguin Great Ideas (98)
In this collection of wise, witty and fascinating essays, Borges discusses the existence (or non-existence) of Hell, the flaws in English literary detectives, the philosophy of contradictions, and the many translators of 1001 Nights. Varied and enthralling, these pieces examine the very nature of our lives, from cinema and books to history and religion. GREAT IDEAS. Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.
