Riassunto

Though universally acclaimed for his dazzling fictions, Borges always considered himself first and foremost a poet. A decade before writing his earliest stories, Borges published his first book of poems. And even in that precocious debut, the twenty-four-year-old poet claimed for himself the principal themes that would preoccupy him for the next half-century. This new bi-lingual selection bring together some two-hundred poems - the largest collection of Borges's poetry ever assembled in English, including scores of poems never previously translated.

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Borges was born in Buenos Aires in 1899. A poet, critic and short story writer, he received numerous awards for his work including the 1961 International Publisher's Prize (shared with Samuel Beckett). He died in 1986. He has a reasonable claim, with Kafka and Joyce, to be the most influential writer of the 20th Century.

Alexander Coleman is professor Emeritus of Portuguese and Spanish Studies at New York University.
