La traducción y las notas de Martín Hadis junto a las notables fotografías de Willis Barnstone completan en estas páginas el sensible retrato de ese misterio esencial de la literatura que conocemos como Borges.

En la década final de su vida, Jorge Luis Borges emprendió una gira por los Estados Unidos con el fin de participar en una serie de diálogos organizados por varias de las universidades más prestigiosas de esa nación (Chicago, Indiana, Columbia, Boston, Harvard y el MIT).

El recorrido traza una cartografía inquietante: Borges conversa sobre el sentido del universo con un astrofísico, sobre misticismo con un experto en cábala y sobre el difuso límite entre realidad y ficción con escritores y poetas. Asiste a un encuentro en el pen Club de Nueva York y concede incluso una entrevista a una personalidad televisiva: Dick Cavett.

A lo largo de estos encuentros, el escritor argentino evoca sueños y pesadillas, sagas nórdicas, frases del inglés antiguo, la presencia del «otro» y el doble, y varios de sus autores favoritos, entre otros temas.

El placer intelectual de la conversación lleva asimismo a Borges (por lo general, renuente a las confidencias) a revelar el significado de símbolos y tramas de varias de sus obras.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Martín Hadis' translation and notes, and Willis Barnstone's remarkable photographs, build a sensitive portrait of that essential literary mystery known as Borges.

In the final years of his life, Borges toured the United States participating in a series of dialogues organized by several of the most prestigious universities in the country: Chicago, Indiana, Columbia, Boston, Harvard, and MIT.

The tour draws a disturbing cartography. Borges talks about the meaning of the universe with an astrophysicist, about mysticism with a kabbalah scholar, and about the blurry line separating reality from fiction with writers and poets. He attends a meeting at the Pen Club in New York City, and even gives Dick Cavett a TV interview.

Throughout these encounters, the Argentine writer evokes dreams and nightmares, refers to Nordic sagas and Old English quotes, reflects on alterity, and comments on many of his favorite authors.

The intellectual pleasure of these conversations also leads to the usually reserved Borges to reveal the meaning of symbols and plots in several of his works.

Works great but does not hold up to sweat
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50
Dissolves with intense exercise then burns eyes and makes a mess, but otherwise works great.

My favorite sunscreen
Size: 7 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 70 (Pack of 2)
Protects quite well and still working while working out. Feels like a cream instead of a thin lotion.

Thickkkkkkkk
Size: 7 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 70 (Pack of 2)
This sunscreen worked well when we went to a clothing optional beach in 101°f weather - neither my husband or I burned at all and I spent most of the time in the water! My friend and her husband used a way more expensive brand and both burned. This stuff is thick. It sits on the skin even after being in the water and isn't super easy to get off. The second time I applied it I went back into the water and tried to kind of wash it off of my hands and it wouldn't come off at all, so my hands had a visible thick layer on them the entire 2 hours I swam. I even used sand and rubbed my hands - nothing. I finally had to use a baby wipe and then wash with warm water and soap twice in an actual bathroom to get it off, but since it was all over my skin it also got all over my husband's brand new car and isn't easy to clean off. We will definitely use it again because the protection was worth it, but maybe use it a little more sparingly! I have a tendency to slather it on because I got so burnt last year I had blisters and needed rx burn meds and iv fluids to recover 🤣
