Translated from the German by Leslie Willson. 196 pages. hardcover. Jacket illustration: Artist's book by Marielle Bancou. keywords: Europe Germany Literature Translated World Literature. DESCRIPTION - There Is No Borges might be described as an epic mystery, for the elusive subject of the narrator's quest is the great Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges, creator of brilliant imaginary worlds. To the narrator, the world of literature means more than reality, a sentiment echoed by Borges: 'Nothing is more precise than fiction.' If this is true, perhaps Borges is one of his own fictive creations. The narrator, a German professor of 'Lusitanics,' both the science of loss and the history of Portugal, is invited to Macao for a lecture tour; professionally and emotionally at life's end, he travels under the auspices of Borges, Cervantes, Conrad's Almayer, and other more or less esoteric and imaginary literary figures. If Borges is fiction, then how much of the future is, as Borges self-consciously writes, a series of memories of the past? As the professor considers the Lusitania, sunk by German torpedoes in 1915, he wonders about the limits of governmental greed, about Tiananmen Square, and World War II. In the inverted mirror of his own Borgesian vision, the professor confronts his country's past, his family's past, and the degree to which we are condemned to repeat history. 'Every book is a mirror of the face bent over it,' writes Kopf's professor. There Is No Borges, written with kaleidoscopic brilliance and wonder, is full of conclusions and suggestions, leads and dead ends. Among the many questions it poses is whether we should not examine the ghosts that lie as much in books as in our own histories. inventory #18865.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Ein kleines Flugzeug gerät auf dem Flug von Surabaya nach Bandung in Indonesien durch den Ausfall beider Motoren in heftige Turbulenzen, während derer ein rätselhafter Passagier seinem Sitznachbarn zu erklären versucht, dass es den weltberühmten Schriftsteller Jorge Luis Borges nie gegeben hat, sondern dass dieser eine Erfindung seines Schriftstellerkollegen Adolfo Bioy Casares gewesen sei. Dabei stellt sich heraus, dass dies nicht nur eine weitere Geschichte um den Mythos Jorge Luis Borges ist, sondern auch ein Anerzählen gegen die drohende Katastrophe des Absturzes: so wie einst Sheherazade in den Märchen von Tausendundeiner Nacht gegen ihren Tod anerzählt hat.…
