Take a new look at Labyrinths , the classic by Latin America's finest writer of the twentieth century—a true literary sensation—with cyber-author William Gibson.
The groundbreaking trans-genre work of Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) has been insinuating itself into the structure, stance, and very breath of world literature for well over half a century. Multi-layered, self-referential, elusive, and allusive writing is now frequently labeled Borgesian. Umberto Eco's international bestseller, The Name of the Rose , is, on one level, an elaborate improvisation on Borges' fiction "The Library," which American readers first encountered in the original 1962 New Directions publication of Labyrinths .
This new edition of Labyrinths , the classic representative selection of Borges' writing edited by Donald A. Yates and James E. Irby (in translations by themselves and others), includes the text of the original edition (as augmented in 1964) as well as Irby's biographical and critical essay, a poignant tribute by André Maurois, and a chronology of the author's life. Borges enthusiast William Gibson has contributed a new introduction bringing Borges' influence and importance into the twenty-first century.
One of the schools of Tlon goes so far as to negate time: it reasons that the present is indefinite, that the future has no reality other than as a present hope, that the past has no reality other than as a present memory. Another school declares that all time has already transpired and that our life is only the crepuscular and no doubt falsified and mutilated memory or reflection of an irrecoverable process. Another, that the history of the universe--and in it our lives and the most tenuous detail of our lives--is the scripture produced by a subordinate god in order to communicate with a demon. Another, that the universe is comparable to those cryptographs in which not all the symbols are valid and that only what happens every three hundred nights is true. Another, that while we sleep her... (查看原文)
Everything is repeated many times, fourteen times, but two things in the world seem to be only once: above, the intricate sun; below, Asterion. Perhaps I have created the stars and the sun and this enormous house, but I no longer remember. (查看原文)
Whatever one man does,it is as if all men did it.For this reason it is not unfair that one disobedience in a garden should contaminate all humanity. ... I am all the other men,any man is all men,Shakespeare is in some manner the miserable John Vincent Moon.

Almost immediately,reality yielded on more than one account.The truth is that it longed to yield.Ten years ago any symmetry with a semblance of order-dialectical materialism,anti-Semitism,Nazism-was sufficient to entrance the minds of men.How could one do other than submit to Tlon,to the minute and vast evidence of an orderly planet?

Individuals mastering these diverse disciplines are abundant,but not so those capable of inventiveness and less so those capable of subordinating that inventiveness to a rigorous and systematic plan.

I shall remain in Borges, not in myself (if it is true that I am someone), but I recognize myself less in his books than in many others or in the laborious strumming of a guitar. Years ago I tried to free myself from him and went from the mythologies of the suburbs to the games with time and infinity, but those games belong to Borges now and I shall have to imagine other things. Thus my life is...
