The Perpetual Race of Achilles and the Tortoise
Jorge Luis Borges
The Perpetual Race of Achilles and the Tortoise
Jorge Luis Borges
In this collection of wise, witty and fascinating essays, Borges discusses the existence (or non-existence) of Hell, the flaws in English literary detectives, the philosophy of contradictions, and the many translators of 1001 Nights. Varied and enthralling, these pieces examine the very nature of our lives, from cinema and books to history and religion.
GREAT IDEAS.
Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves
and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives
and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.
