  Jorge Luis Borges - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
Jorge Guillermo Borges was forced into early retirement from the legal profession owing to the same failing eyesight that would eventually afflict his son, and in 1914, the family moved to Geneva, where Borges senior was treated by a Geneva eye specialist while Borges and his sister Norah (born 1902) attended school.
Borges held the view that a translation may improve upon an original, and that alternative and potentially contradictory renderings of the same work can be equally valid, and further that an original or literal translation can be unfaithful to the original work.
Borges had an English paternal grandmother who, around 1870, married the criollo Francisco Borges, a man with a military command and a historic role in the civil wars in what is now Argentina and Uruguay.

 Books | Moth to the flame
Borges was extraordinarily susceptible to the romantic aura of men of action, and Lange's attachment to the memory of her father, a noted explorer who died when she was still a child, undoubtedly added to her mystique.
Norah's, then, was a complex allure: her red hair spoke of passion, but her pale, Scandinavian looks called to mind the purity of an angel, and it was this tantalising blend of innocence and fire that she captured in dreamy poems charged with erotic anticipation.
Borges evidently felt that all was not lost with regard to Lange: it was possible that in the year she planned to spend with her sister in Oslo she might get over her feelings for Girondo and he might then have a chance to win her back.

The Borges family lived in Palermo, a neighbourhood at the outskirts of Buenos Aires which was a lower-class suburb historically famous for its cabarets, whorehouses, tango dancers and knife-fights among the compadritos or hoodlums.
His father, Jorge Guillermo Borges, was a lawyer and a psychology teacher; his mother, Leonor Acevedo de Borges was a descendent of soldiers, so she kept her house ornamented with family artefacts such as swords, uniforms and portraits of great freedom fighters.
Borges was assigned to the first one, but he wanted to prove to himself and the others that the local colour of Buenos Aires was a very important resource for their work.

 Encyclopedia: Jorge Luis Borges   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
Jorge Luis Borges (bôr′hÄ•s) (/ˈxoɾ.xe luˈis ˈboɾ.xes/ in IPA) (August 24, 1899 – June 14, 1986) was an Argentine writer who is considered to be one of the foremost writers of the 20th century.
Norah Borges (1901-1998) was an artist and is the sister of the writer Jorge Luis Borges.
This form that Borges inherited from Carlyle and Butler was later further developed by Stanisław Lem in his Wielkosc Urojona (Warsaw, 1973, translated into English 1984 by Marc E. Heine under the title Imaginary Magnitude).

 Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius Details, Meaning Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius Article and Explanation Guide
Borges imagines a Tlönite working his way out of the problem of solipsism by reasoning that if all people are actually aspects of one being, then perhaps the universe is consistent because that one being is consistent in his imagining.
In casual conversation with Borges, Bioy Casares recalls that a heresiarch (leader of a heretical sect) in Uqbar had declared that "mirrors and copulation are abominable, since they both multiply the numbers of men." Borges, impressed with the "memorable" sentence, asks for its source.
Borges was to become far more widely known throughout the world as a writer of extremely original short stories than as a poet and essayist.

 Powell's Books - Review-a-Day - Borges: A Life by Edwin Williamson, reviewed by The Atlantic Monthly
Borges placidly replied with a couplet from Edmund Blunden: "This was my country and it might be yet, / But something came between us and the sun." That something, he left me in no doubt, had been Peronism.
It is this capacity, I believe, that promotes Borges so far above the level of the exotic antiquarian, the obsessed bibliophile, the cloistral mapmaker, the crazed pedant, and the unreliable editor: diverting roles that he vastly enjoyed and at which he excelled.
But Borges did live to be honored eventually by a democratic Argentina; did finally get some time to himself with a girl of his own choosing; and did ultimately elect to arrive in Geneva and to surprise Kodama by telling her with decision that he wouldn't leave again.

A cubist decomposition of the urban continuum, the impact of modernity on the system and forms of perception, the confusion of the 'natural' contact between man and his surroundings, the construction of new images out of this amalgam of fragmentary allegories: all these are themes of the new poetry.
Borges went back to Buenos Aires bearing the good news of ultraism; at the same time he was working with both literary and emotional aspects of the past.
Borges puts it thus, anticipating his later construction of the poetic 'I' as a tissue of different voices.

Cuando Borges regresó a Buenos Aires se rodeó o lo rodearon otros poetas del ultraísmo argentino; entre otros: NORAH LANGE, Eduardo González Lanuza, Francisco Pîñeiro, Guillermo Juan Borges (su primo) y Roberto Ortelli.
Por aquellos años Borges visitaba la casa de los Lange, en la calle Tronador, seguramente persiguiendo a la muy bella Norah Lange, llamada "la musa del ultraísmo".
En lo personal, conocí a Norah junto a Oliverio Girondo (su esposo) en el café Chamberí, donde ambos concurrían a encontrarse con sus amigos surrealistas, en especial modo con Aldo Pellegrini, Olguita Orozco, Enrique Molina y Julio Llinás.

 La policía recupera una primera edición robada de Borges > elmundolibro - Protagonistas
BUENOS AIRES.- La Policía Federal de Argentina ha recuperado un ejemplar de la primera edición de un libro de poemas del escritor Jorge Luis Borges valorado en unos 10.000 dólares, que se encontraba en un puesto de una feria de libros en Buenos Aires, informa el diario argentino 'Clarín'.
El ejemplar, con una dedicatoria de puño y letra de Borges al escritor argentino Ricardo Güiraldes, cuenta con un dibujo en su portada hecho por Norah Borges e ilustraciones de la artista María Clemencia.
El coleccionista Alejandro Vaccaro indicó que el libro del celebrado escritor argentino es buscado porque "Borges, cuando empezó a publicar sus obras completas, hacia 1969, corrigió y en algún caso eliminó varios de los poemas originales".
