A Companion to Jorge Luis Borges

By Steven Boldy

This study combines the mapping of Borges's intellectual trajectory with detailed analyses of his work, particularly the stories of his two main collections, Ficciones and El Aleph. The account of the context allows the reader maximum access to the meaning and significance of the work and presents a biographical narrative developed against the Argentine literary world in which Borges was a key player, the Argentine intellectual tradition in its historical context, and the Argentine and world politics to which his works respond in more or less obvious ways.
