Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. First Dutton Paperback edition, 1st printing. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE condition. Sold along w/used VG 1970 paperback of Richard Burgin's CONVERSATIONS w/JLB. "As Jorge Luis Borges conceived of it, A UNIVERSAL HISTORY OF INFAMY was to be no more than light entertainment. Yet after the book appeared in 1935 its influence on the fiction of Latin America was so profound that its publication date has become a landmark in the history of Latin American literature. Ostensibly a series of factual accounts about the lives of noted scoundrels, the book in actuality marked the debut of Borges as a storyteller, using that unique blend of fact, fiction, and pseudo-scholarship that later came to full expression in Borges's world-famed short stories. Valuable and important for what it tells us about Borges's mind and method, A UNIVERSAL HISTORY OF INFAMY manages, at the same time, to fulfill delightfully Borges's original intention. It is, indeed, a first-rate entertainment." [publisher copy] "The book that literally transformed the Spanish prose of the thirties and whose long echoes can still be heard in One Hundred Years of Solitude."--The New York Times Book Review. + CONVERSATIONS: First Discus Edition, September 1970. Gently read in VG condition (w/bookseller's name written on first page). "An extraordinary portrait of a witty, learned, even humble master---an ideal introduction to the man's work---a joy in and of itself."--John Leonard. "A delightful compendium of Borges' views, and a fascinating, engaging portrait of the man."--Harper's. "An engrossing and inspiring book."--Los Angeles Times. "A joy-to-read book!"--Publishers Weekly. Very Good paperback w/age toning on pages, o/w clean & tight binding w/no creases in spine; not bad for a 53-year-old mass market paperback.

Leinen. Zustand: Gut. 1st. british edition. 205x135 mm. 173 p., Hardcover, original Cloth w./ dustjacket. Sprache: Englisch, Good conditions. Dustjacket: lightly worn and faded. USADO / GEBRAUCHT / USED. «In 1971 Borges was invited to preside over a series of seminars on his writing at Columbia University. This book is a record of those seminars, which took the form of informal discussions between Borges, Norman Thomas di Giovanni, his editor and translator, Frank MacShane, head of the department of creative writing at Columbia, and the students. The book is divided into three separate sectionson prose, poetry, and translation. The prose seminar is based on a line-by-line discussion of one of Borges' most distinctive stories, 'The End of the Duel'. Borges explains how he wrote the story, his use of local knowledge, and his characteristic method of relating violent events in a precise and ironic way. From this close analysis of his methods he is drawn- into illuminating general observations on the role of the writer and the function of literature. The poetry section starts with some general remarks by Borges on the need for form and structure and goes on to a close look at four recent Borges poems. The last section, on translation, is particularly interesting. Borges' reputation has spread only gradually to the English-speaking world and hence many of his works written in the 1930s and 1940s are only now being published in translation. The discussion here, led by di Giovanni, is an exciting record of how the art and culture of one country can be translated into the language of another. It shows the way in which the translation of Borges' work is part of a constant process of development, not rigid or sacred to the original, but subject to continual testing and experiment with new words, phrases, and tonal colouring. Borges is probably the supreme verbal craftsman alive today. This book provides a revealing insight into the inspiration and method of his writing.» [Borges+essays+writing+argentinian literature+latinamaricna literature+seminars+columbia university]. ** 10% DESCUENTO/RABATT/DISCOUNT PRIMAVERA * excl.
