Features: The author of this book has conducted years of research on "the writer of writers" Borges, gathering many little-known first-hand materials in Buenos Aires. Based on this, the book depicts and dissects this writer whose life and works are as labyrinthine as they are. Borges spent his entire life immersed in his own thoughts, most of the time lost in daydream-like fantasies or in corresponding states of insomnia. When he wrote his masterpieces, he was consumed by despairing love. As the leader of Latin American intellectual circles, his only goal in his later years was the bright future of the nation.
