What's wrong? Are you feeling bad?

No, do not worry.

You look strange.

You have not recovered yet?

- Have you heard about that street?

- No. Where is it?

- Does not it remind you of something?

- No.

Why do you ask?

I have a stupid feeling.

A sensation or a desire.

I miss sites

where I have not been nor will I be.

Silly stuff. That means

that you are overworked.

You should rest. You can not repeat

your damned exams so many times.

- Excuse me, how old are you?

- 33

33!

When will you finally find

a job of your liking?

Please, have a drink.

I need to go to the city.

I have to review some documents.

The idiot of my foreman packed everything.

I'll fix it and I'll be back

within a week.

I would take you with me,

but the trip would be uncomfortable.

It's not worth being overwhelmed.

I have warned the butler and

will treat you as if you were the owner.

Rest and do your exercises.

By the way,

have you seen the foreman's cabin?

He has lived there with his son

and his daughter for many years. His wife...

Remove that tree from the table!

His wife died long ago.

They are good people,

but they are very stupid.

Once I asked the foreman when

he was born and he could not answer.

Imagine, you do not know your date

of birth or the name of your father.

I have my own

theory about that.

I think a lot of the stories

of the people about their past

are the result of false

memories or mixed data.

- Where are they from?

- Who knows?!

The foreman works here

since the beginning of the century.

Sometimes they use

words that I do not know.

If they had a language, they have forgotten it.

And they have not learned ours.

They have never been able to write.

They do not believe in God.

They do not have religious feasts.

They live in misery and

are very superstitious.

By the way, you should not

gallop near his cabin.

They get scared.

I do not know why.

And now, let's go for a walk.

- You ride horses?

- Yes.

The horses are ready. And remember:

do not gallop near the cabin.

I can not believe

that all this is mine

Here, apart from the pure air, and these

infinite trees, there is nothing special.

And not to mention women!

I've seen a tailcoat in your suitcase.

I assure you that here

you will not need it

I did not warn you

in the hotel not to scare you.

Here there is no more

than sheep and pigs.

My foreman has many.

Nature, my friend, is a

beautiful solitude hard to get.

A finch!

A bittern? They live here?

A goldfinch.

Sings beautifully.

Why are you stopping? Come on!

Your bathroom is ready, sir.

Do everything he asks you to do.

Bye!

Bye!

Come here!

Drink.

This is how it is written

in the book of the prophet Isaiah.

Jorge Luis Borges

Jorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges Acevedo (; Spanish: [ˈborxes] ( listen); 24 August 1899 – 14 June 1986) was an Argentine short-story writer, essayist, poet and translator, and a key figure in Spanish-language literature. His best-known books, Ficciones (Fictions) and El Aleph (The Aleph), published in the 1940s, are compilations of short stories interconnected by common themes, including dreams, labyrinths, philosophy, libraries, mirrors, fictional writers, and mythology. Borges' works have contributed to philosophical literature and the fantasy genre, and have been considered by some critics to mark the beginning of the magic realist movement in 20th century Latin American literature. His late poems dialogue with such cultural figures as Spinoza, Camões, and Virgil. Born in a suburb of Buenos Aires, Borges later moved with his family to Switzerland in 1914, where he studied at the Collège de Genève. The family travelled widely in Europe, including Spain. On his return to Argentina in 1921, Borges began publishing his poems and essays in surrealist literary journals. He also worked as a librarian and public lecturer. In 1955, he was appointed director of the National Public Library and professor of English Literature at the University of Buenos Aires. He became completely blind by the age of 55. Scholars have suggested that his progressive blindness helped him to create innovative literary symbols through imagination. By the 1960s, his work was translated and published widely in the United States and Europe. Borges himself was fluent in several languages. In 1961, he came to international attention when he received the first Formentor prize (Prix International), which he shared with Samuel Beckett. In 1971, he won the Jerusalem Prize. His international reputation was consolidated in the 1960s, aided by his works being available in English, by the Latin American Boom and by the success of García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude. He dedicated his final work, The Conspirators, to the city of Geneva, Switzerland. Writer and essayist J. M. Coetzee said of him: "He, more than anyone, renovated the language of fiction and thus opened the way to a remarkable generation of Spanish American novelists." more…
