Catalogue Note
Borges' sixth collection of non-fiction essays includes essays on topics as wide ranging as time and eternity, the art of translation and the Icelandic kenningar. The first edition is believed to be that published in 1936 by Viau y Zona; however, this edition, published in the same year, cannot be found in the standard bibliographies.
