In principio furono le sue Inquisizioni, poi venne l'universo e ogni altra cosa.
Questa introduzione forse non sarebbe dispiaciuta a Borges che amava tanto citare Mallarmè mettendogli in bocca parole ormai non più sue: il mondo esiste per approdare ad un libro. Forse è vero, forse no. Ma questo non ha importanza.
In un sense, Borges has contaminated everything he has read and even his own players.
the reader with some diligence can not help but feel, in fact become a borgecitos. I remember an essay that said Llosa just something like, anyone who tries to imitate his style, ends up looking like ridiculous, awkward, creepy. What about him is beautiful, authentic, original, looking like a caricature ends, false suspicion. As a bald wig out the evil that would be better not to wear. Borges has a substantial virtues: the need to be inconceivable and out of those words. At the time I tried in vain some poems. Fetched extravagant metaphors, which invariably to coincide finivono with mirrors and mazes. The power of contamination was evident in that case. Every word he writes seems to assume a higher value and you can not believe that it can be written in another way. It 's like when we read the intro of Don Quixote "in a village of La Mancha, whose name I do not want to remember ...", we do not know if those words are correct, but we feel them as necessary. I felt this affinity for Borges. And if it is true that the player changes the law by investing it with meaning that, like the Divine Comedy has been enriched by its age-old commentators, so in my mind, his work has spread and it takes me. It 's true for me what Borges said Stevenson is for me a form of happiness.
His idea of \u200b\u200bliterature tends to a constant de-contextualization, a perpetual disintegration patterns. I was never surprised that he never attempted a novel. Critics fill entire volumes in search of answers to this question and do not realize that Borges is essentially a passionate skeptic. Just nights ago I discussed with my friend the impossibility of a Borges fantasy. Nothing could be further from him that a world where he can roam beyond the limits and circumstances. Borges passionate in what is the ongoing challenge to this world fantastic, illusory. A cross the pillars of Hercules but were still in the narrow Mediteranneo ... If there is a What I have in common with him is my total inability to know myself fall in history, losing in them. In its work force a careful control, a calculation that may seem cold (it seemed so to Hemingway, Truman Capote ...) but not at all and I forgive these people, who perhaps had not read the bottom with enough attention . I've never seen a more polished writer and equally fond of him. In the literature or are extremely shiny or is extremely passionate. Borges had both of these virtues, and we can not negarglielo, despite the outcry and incubated with envy (?) Of the various Hemingway, Mr. Capote ... An example? Yes, I think at this point right. There is a sua poesia che dà il titolo ad un suo libro che è 'Elogio dell'ombra'. Tra quei versi c'è ne sono alcuni che sono estremamente belli, almeno per me. E sono:
Nella mia vita sono sempre state troppe le cose;
E' una riflessione lucida e consapevole. Ho pensato troppo, sono andato al di là di ciò che era in mio potere. Democrito si è strappato gli occhi da solo per far questo. Il tempo è stato ciò che io non sono riuscito a fare, è stato il mio Democrito.
At first I thought the literature was a large space, which would include history, geography, everything. Borges has taught me the love for certain authors, or rather to certain pages, or even better for certain phrases.
