Add to basketPaperback. Un ensayo que muestra el costado mas ludico y menos solemne del gran escritor argentino Jorge Luis Borges.Cual es la clave, la contrasena o la molecula inigualable que constituye la esencia de lo borgeano? Alan Pauls hilvana, a su manera, un manual de instrucciones que da cuenta de la obra mas importante de la literatura argentina. Pero mas que un conjunto de ensayos criticos, El factor Borges atraviesa los principales conceptos asociados a ese universo originalidad, tradicion, biblioteca para mapear no solo el nucleo de sus textos, sino tambien la configuracion de su identidad. Una busqueda tan profunda como incesante por la imagen que el escritor proyecto durante su vida y de manera postuma y, por supuesto, esa maquinaria perfecta que se anticipo a su tiempo y trasciende su propia sintaxis.Tambien lo que no siempre llegamos a considerar sobre Borges encuentra una dimension en este libro. Incluso su perseverante naturaleza pendenciera y esas estrategias sutiles pero significativas que Pauls interpreta de manera magistral, como la aparente coqueteria de quitarse solo un ano de edad para coincidir exactamente con el siglo que le toco vivir.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONAn essay showing the most ludic and less solemn side of the great Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges. What is the key, the password, or the unparalleled molecule that constitutes Borges essence? Alan Pauls ties together, in his own way, an instruction manual that gives an account of the most important works in Argentinian literature. But more than a collection of critical essays, The Borges Factor runs through the main concepts associated with this universeoriginality, tradition, libraryto not only map the core of Borges texts, but also the geometry of his identity. It is a quest as deep as it is relentless to find the image the writer projected during his lifetime and posthumously. And, of course, that perfect machinery that was ahead of its time and that transcends his own syntax. Furthermore, what we never fully considered about Borges finds its own dimension in this book. Even his persistently quarrelsome nature, and those subtle yet significant strategies that Pauls interprets masterfully, including the seemingly coy act of pretending to be only one year younger to match exactly the birth of the century he lived in.
