An unprecedented collection of the visionary Argentine writer's
meditations on the mystical realm
Jorge Luis Borges immersed himself and his readers in metaphysical
fantasies--playing reason against faith, belief against logic. His
profound knowledge of eastern religions was an endless source of
inspiration for his writing. On Mysticism--edited by Borges's widow,
Maria Kodama--brings together a stunning group of prose pieces and poems
that speak to this signature theme of his writing, from some of his most
celebrated works to others that appear here in English for the first
time. Together they yield valuable insights into the most ineffable
dimension of his writing, illuminating the inimitable rewards of this
literary visionary, a wisdom writer whose belief in the magic of words
has made him beloved around the world.
