BORGES: CONTRAPUNTOS POÉTICOS CON UN BARDO SIN SUR (Spanish Edition) [Spanish]

By Sergio Torres-Martínez

Qu ocurre cuando el canon se somete a una lectura sin reverencia? Este libro propone una confrontaci n directa con la poes a de Jorge Luis Borges, examinando las obsesiones que atraviesan muchos de sus versos: Islandia, las sagas n rdicas, la pica germ nica y la nostalgia por un pasado heroico imaginado. Aquello que durante d cadas fue celebrado como erudici n universal aparece aqu bajo otra luz: un sistema simb lico donde genealog a, guerra y mito funcionan como capital cultural y como construcci n est tica. La respuesta del autor no es un ensayo acad mico convencional. Es un acto po tico. Cada texto de este libro se coloca frente a un poema borgiano como contrapunto: una voz que responde, desmonta, refuta o reimagina el discurso original. A trav s de un juego multiling e que incluye castellano, ingl s antiguo, n rdico e island s, el libro transforma la cr tica en creaci n. El resultado es un experimento literario radical: poes a que discute con poes a y que invita al lector a reconsiderar lo que realmente significa leer a Borges hoy.

What happens when the literary canon is read without reverence? This book offers a bold confrontation with the poetry of Jorge Luis Borges, examining the recurring obsessions that shape many of his poems: Iceland, Norse sagas, Germanic epic traditions, and the nostalgia for an imagined heroic past. What has long been praised as universal erudition is reconsidered here as a symbolic framework in which genealogy, war, and myth operate as aesthetic and cultural capital. The author's response, however, is not a conventional work of literary criticism. It is poetry answering poetry. Each text stands as a counterpoint to a Borgesian poem-preserving its title while composing a new voice that questions, dismantles, or redirects its meaning. Written across multiple languages, including Spanish, Old English, Norse, and Icelandic, the book turns critique into creative practice. The result is a daring literary experiment: poems that argue with poems, inviting readers to rethink what it truly means to read Borges today.
