Mirror of riddles

Jorge Louis Borges is one of the most famous writers of the twentieth century, which largely determined the appearance of modern literature. Umberto Eco in his essay on the influence of Borges formulates the basic principle of the works of the great Argentine: Books talk to each other. Borges himself wrote: Someone is proud of every book written, I am the one read. In numerous interviews, Bores called himself not so much a writer as an attentive, grateful reader. The real publication included two well -known collections of Borgees"s literary thoughts: “Discussion” and “New Investigations” in full, including texts that have never been released in Russian. Also, for the first time in Russian, four lectures by the Tango, who were read by him in 1965 in Buenos Aires, are printed in Russian. Literature and dance, poetry and eternity, dreams and magic are the topics that Bores returns again and again, inviting the reader on a journey through the unsteady labyrinths of time
