Description - Borges profesor: Curso de literatura inglesa en la Universidad de Buenos Aires / Professor Borges: English Literature Course at the University of Buenos Aires by Jorge Luis Borges

El libro que revela a Borges en su faceta docente, imprescindible para los amantes de su obra y de la literatura.

«No lo cite: léalo. [...] Urge no ya leerlo o releerlo, sino, como sugería Bolaño, "releerlo otra vez".»-Gonzalo Núñez, La Razón

En 1966, Borges dictó un curso de literatura inglesa en la Universidad de Buenos Aires. Las clases fueron grabadas por algunos alumnos, que luego las transcribieron para que otros pudieran escucharlas. Las cintas originales se han perdido, pero los textos se han conservado hasta hoy. Tras un intenso trabajo de análisis e investigación de las fuentes, Martín Arias y Martín Hadis lograron compilar las transcripciones, sin modificar el lenguaje oral de Borges, que nos ha llegado intacto. La pasión de Borges, conjugada con su memoria casi infalible, hace de este libro una obra esencial para los admiradores del gran escritor argentino y los amantes de la literatura.

In 1966, Borges taught an English literature course at the University of Buenos Aires. Those classes were recorded by some students, who then transcribed them so that others could also enjoy them. The original tapes were lost, but the texts have been preserved. After an intense work of analysis and investigation, Martín Arias and Martín Hadis managed to compile the transcriptions, without modifying Borges' oral language, which remains intact. Borges' passion, combined with his almost infallible memory, makes this book an essential work for fans of the great Argentine writer and literature lovers in general.
