La obra poética completa del maestro argentino en un solo volumen Además de extraordinario narrador y ensayista, Jorge Luis Borges fue un excelente poeta. De hecho, puede decirse que la poesÃa es el alma de su obra. Indisociable de sus cuentos y ensayos, estos poemas son parte indispensable del universo borgiano y constituyen una indagación paralela a los asuntos que siempre le apasionaron: los libros, la memoria, los laberintos, los espejos, el amor o la eternidad. De los poemas que integran esta fantástica colección cabe destacar El mar, Arte poética, El laberinto, LÃmites y su primer libro de poesÃa Fervor de Buenos Aires, entre otros muchos. Dueño de un fino oÃdo y una impresionante capacidad para crear imágenes memorables, Borges revive en sus grandes poemas la intensidad que recorre la gran tradición occidental desde Homero hasta Eliot. En palabras del propio Borges: Ajedrez misterioso la poesÃa, cuyo tablero y cuyas piezas cambian como en un sueño y sobre el cual me inclinaré después de haber muerto. La deuda que tenemos contraÃda con él quienes escribimos en español es enorme. --Mario Vargas Llosa ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The complete poetic work of the Argentine master gathered in one single volume. Besides being an extraordinary storyteller and essayist, Jorge Luis Borges was an excellent poet. In fact, it can be said that poetry is the soul of his work. Together with his stories and essays, these poems are an crucial part of the Borgesian universe and make up a parallel inquiry to the issues that always fascinated him: books, memory, labyrinths, mirrors, love, or eternity.
Among the poems that make up this fantastic collection include The Sea, The Art of Poetry, The Labyrinth, Limits and his first book of poetry Fervor of Buenos Aires, among many others. Having had a fine ear and an impressive capacity to create memorable images, Borges relives in his great poems the intensity that runs through the great Western traditions, from Homer to Eliot. In Borges' own words: Poetry is a mysterious chess game, whose board and whose pieces change as if in a dream and on which I will lean after I die.
