A History of Eternity

Brief Overview

A History of Eternity is an exquisite collection of essays in which Jorge Luis Borges, with his characteristic intellectual sophistication, explores the nature of time, infinity, and myth. Delving into the labyrinths of philosophical reflection, the author turns to ancient texts, Eastern and Western poetry, mysticism, and metaphysics to reveal to the reader the elusive boundaries between reality and imagination. Borges masterfully weaves personal meditations with cultural allusions, creating a complex mosaic of ideas about eternity, mirrors, dreams, and symbols that become keys to understanding human existence. This book is not only an intellectual journey but also a poetic contemplation of the mysteries of the universe, where every word echoes with eternity.
