couverture souple. Compana General Fabril editora | Buenos Aires 1968 | 20 x 28.50 cm | broché | Seconde édition illustrée. Dos comportant quelques frottements. Ouvrage illustré de dessins d'Horacio Cardo. Rare envoi autographe erronément daté de 1949 et signé de Jorge Luis Borges à son égérie Ema Risso Platero?: «?à Emita, con afecto innumerable.?» * Ema Risso Platero, diplomate uruguayenne, fut peintre, poète, écrivain (elle publia notamment Arquitecturas del insomnio avec un prologue de Borges) et fut l'amie de Michel Foucault. Dans son Emma, karma de Borges, l'écrivain uruguyen Fernando Loustaunau évoque cette relation Borges-Emita et leur dernière rencontre en 1979, à Paris, lorsque l'écrivain argentin y vint pour être décoré de la médaille d'or de l'Académie Française. C'est certainement à cette occasion que Jorge Luis Borges remit cet exemplaire dédicacé à son ancienne muse, envoi autographe qu'il data erronément de 1949 au lieu de 1979 (peut-être en souvenir de leur passé et passions mutuels). | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] Second illustrated edition. Spine with some rubbing. Illustrated with drawings by Horacio Cardo. Rare presentation copy erroneously dated 1949 and signed by Jorge Luis Borges to his muse Ema Risso Platero?: «?à Emita, con afecto innumerable.?» * Ema Risso Platero, a Uruguayan diplomat, was also a painter, poet, and writer (notably the author of Arquitecturas del insomnio, with a preface by Borges), and a friend of Michel Foucault. In his book Emma, karma de Borges, the Uruguayan writer Fernando Loustaunau discusses the relationship between Borges and Emita, and their final meeting in 1979 in Paris, when the Argentine writer was in the city to receive the Gold Medal of the Académie Française. It was most likely on this occasion that Jorge Luis Borges presented this signed copy to his former muse, mistakenly dating the inscription 1949 instead of 1979perhaps a nod to their shared past and enduring passions.
