reproduce some words of narrative essay on Borges:
Before writer, Borges always considered reader: "A book, any book, is for us a sacred object" [1] . Moreover, his writing was no longer a way to further violate their reading, an appendix of reading. A kind of violation or disobedience of the will of the reader. His readings were always immersed in his writing and this was born of that. What would have been the writer Borges without previous readings, without the intertextualities, without the mess of quotations and allusions and quotes from imitations? Perhaps because reading was a way to connect with the past, to know what we were and where we go. Hence the inability to void while the books have force and Borges wanted to connect with the past and perhaps feel a part of its creation, as the God of the novel Niebla de Unamuno. Perhaps because its existence as Mallarme said, depend on previous books: The world exists to reach a book. And this inability to fight the obvious, the role of books in history, prevented the Chinese emperor Shih Huang Ti, its purpose: to burn all the previous books. Given the impossibility, said: "Men love the past and from that love anything I can" [2] . That, in essence, as Paul Valéry believed when he said that the history of literature should be the story of the spirit.
Borges considered himself a "hedonic reader" who read for pleasure and not at all mediated by a sense of duty but simply because of the delightful reading:
not tried fortune twice with intractable author, avoiding an earlier book with a new book, or books-bought-in lots grossly [3] .
And one of the most admired in them was always the imagination. He believed that there lay one of the great literature Argentina absences, lack of imagination applies also to the lack of imagination applied to everyday life. What led him to point after reflecting on "perpetual race of Achilles and the tortoise:" Let us accept the idealism [4] . And the final acceptance that the world "requires visible unreal."
In fact, I never dared to write a long novel. He said that they needed many words to say a few ideas. There were also objections to writing. Immersed in an age dominated by the vanguard, Borges understood that their world would no longer be the nineteenth century realism these effluvia nor juveniles of indices of early century. And opted for a model of literature that was being dealt with two seemingly contradictory elements (reality / fantasy) that he carried a perfect overlap from book-magical processes, metaphysical or intertextual. Although a late date as 1970 said in the "Prologue" of Brodie's report that his stories were realistic:
observe, I think, all the conventions of the genre, no less conventional than others and which will soon get tired or already we are tired. [5]
