Doctor Brodie’s Report – Jorge Luis Borges

R1,850.00

A collection of stories. Translated fAt the age of seventy, after a gap of twenty years, Jorge Luis Borges returned to writing short stories. In Brodie’s Report, he also returned to the style of his earlier work with its brutal realism, nightmares, and bloodshed. Many of these stories, including Unworthy and The Other Duel, are set in the macho Argentinean underworld, and even the rivalries between artists are suffused with suppressed violence. Throughout, opposing themes of fate and free will, loyalty and betrayal, time and memory flicker in the recesses of these compelling stories, among the best Borges ever wrote from the Spanish by Norman Thomas di Giovanni in collaboration with the author.

First British edition. Translated from the Spanish by Norman Thomas di Giovanni in collaboration with the author. Very good in a very good (minor edge wear at the spine ends and corners, a bit faded along the spine) dust jacket. See OUR OWN picture for quality control. A very competitive price usually sells for up to $800 Our price very competitive
