BORGES IN LOVE An imaginary epistolary exchange between Jorge Luis Borges and the five most important women in his life: Leonor Acevedo de Borges, Estela Canto, María Esther Vázquez, Elsa Astete Millán, and María Kodama.Jorge Luis Borges was a distinguished Argentine writer, regarded as a key figure both in Spanish-language literature and in world literature.His work is interconnected by recurring themes such as dreams, labyrinths, libraries, mirrors, fictitious authors, and Greek and Norse mythologies, with plots that explore philosophical ideas related to memory, eternity, fame, and the meaning of life. Like the tango, Borges was first recognized in France and Europe before becoming a popular figure in his own country. Was Borges’ extraordinary success due to his literary work, or was it the result of the triumph of his persona—a blind poet heroically battling the shadows of his blindness?Borges was a great admirer of women, perpetually in love with several at once, yet unable to establish a lasting relationship. Women were a profound source of inspiration for Borges’ writing, and at the same time, the origin of many of his sorrows and frustrations—emotions that deeply nourished his literary explorations.This work of historical fiction portrays Borges’ sentimental relationships through his connection with the most important women in his life: Leonor Acevedo de Borges, Estela Canto, María Esther Vázquez, Elsa Astete Millán, and María Kodama.The chosen format is an imaginary and apocryphal epistolary exchange that reflects the extraordinary adventures and emotional journeys of the great writer who, far from fading into oblivion as he once predicted, is being read more than ever. In today’s era of globalized Internet culture, Borges has become the most frequently cited Argentine figure in the world.Download this book to discover the emotional and romantic life of the greatest Argentine writer of all time—and one of the giants of world literature!
