Synopsis
A must for anyone interested in the work of the great Argentinian writer, Jorge Luis Borges. Prof. Garayalde settles many of the puzzles and misinterpretations of his works in a very concise and convincing account both of the Sufis and their work--with which she became familiar long before she approached Borges' own--and of the many parallels in ideas and in actual tales that are included in his work.
This is an ideal introduction to Sufi thought for anyone who is searching for a greater understanding of life and him/herself through literature.

Bernárdez: There is no doubt that wisdom, in the great epochs, was of an initiatory character, something not sold in the market. It has to have, in the first place, conditions for receiving and being given it.
Borges: Now, in contrast, it is assumed that ignorance is meritorious--We are heirs to the Western tradition and to what we can acquire of the Eastern as well.
