<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> "A ... crossroads of genres and themes, the stories, essays, and poems in this collection reflect many of the central concerns that run through all of Borges' work. In ... writings such as 'Dialogue on a dialogue,' 'The plot,' 'Dreamtigers,' and 'Borges and I,' among many others, Borges examines the serenity of the creative mind, the spectacle of his public figure, and looks towards the afterlife the eternal world in which his books will continue to dialogue with world literature long after he himself has disappeared"--Translation of publisher descriptio<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"Yo vivo, yo me dejo vivir, para que Borge pueda tramar su literatura y esa literatura me justifica".<i> --De "Borges y yo"</i> <p/> Considerado por el mismo Borges como su libro más personal, <i>El hacedor </i>explora la relación entre el mundo interior y exterior del artista, el misterioso espacio entre sus sueños y la vida real. Un maravilloso cruce de géneros y temáticas, los relatos, ensayos y poemas de esta colección reflejan muchas de las preocupaciones centrales que recorren toda la obra borgiana. En fascinantes escritos como "Diálogo sobre un diálogo", "La trama", "Dreamtigers", y "Borges y yo", entre otros muchos, Borges examina la serenidad de la mente creativa, el espectáculo de su figura pública, y mira hacia el más allá el mundo eterno en el que sus libros continuarán dialogando con la literatura universal mucho después de que él mismo haya desaparecido. Valorado por la crítica como una de las obras más importantes del siglo xx, <i>El hacedor </i>es un extraordinario ejemplo del poder del maestro argentino, el alcance de su visión creativa y su inagotable contribución a la literatura. <p/><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Jorge Luis Borges</b> (1899-1986) was an Argentine poet, essayist, and author of short stories.
