Poesía completa

After a life reading, writing and teaching poetry, Borges confessed that he was still full of perplexities and that he had only gained one certainty: that poetry is written to delight the reader. This book collects all the poetic work of Jorge Luis Borges, a peculiar literary conspiracy in favor of pleasure. They open the series Fervor de Buenos Aires (1923), Luna de enfrente (1925) and Cuaderno San Martín (1929), a trilogy composed upon returning to Argentina after a tour of Europe. In El Hacedor (1960) and Elogio de la sombra (1969) the tragedy of his blindness emerges, tempered by epic and metaphysical themes. Starting with El oro de los tigres (1972) and La rosa profunda (1975), as his fame grew internationally, the author's tone became more intimate. Borges writes about books, memory, labyrinths, mirrors, history, love and eternity, and his verses continue to physically touch new generations, like the proximity of the sea.
