Seller: Longhouse, Publishers & Booksellers, Brattleboro, VT, U.S.A.
First Edition
First edition, first printing From a scholar's library with just the briefest marks here and there and nothing at all even noticeable. Talks that the Argentine writer gave in 1971 at Columbia University to students. For some reason the end flyleaves are shortened on edge, nothing at all offensive. Light age tone to the edge. Excellent reading copy.

Leinen. Condition: 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]. ** 9% DESCUENTO/RABATT/DISCOUNT PRIMAVERA * 34,20 (reduced from 38,00) **.
