Dive into the mind-bending works of Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges, whose work pioneered the literary style magical realism.
--
What would it be like to have a limitless memory? Can the meaning of life be found in an infinite library? Is time a labyrinth or a single moment? Jorge Luis Borges explored these questions of infinity in his many works. His body of essays, poems and stories pioneered the literary style known as magical realism- and each was just a few pages long. Ilan Stavans dives into the world of Borges.

Borges' writings are incredible: they combine carefully planned sentences, storytelling and plot mechanisms with mind-blowing situations and thoughts that leave you understanding so much yet so little about a piece of fictional history. He is arguably the best writer in Latin American history and I definitely recommend reading every one of his works.

This man changed my life. I discovered him while studying abroad in Buenos Aires when I read The Aleph. I then wrote my Spanish Thesis in college on El Tango: Cuatro Conferencias. His short stories give everyone a mind workout, and gives you that childlike ability again of asking questions to things that seem "obvious" to the average person. I will be internally grateful for reading his works.

The library of babel is what really shook my understanding of our universe. There is no one truth if it is out there in the library. The story that reads your life has the same value as a random string of characters both happening by chance because of infinity. Thus for our real world, how I see it is that anything we can imagine is true to some degree because if we can think of it then nature has allowed for that thought or belief to exist in some capacity.

Exactamente, lo real maravilloso is a concept created by Alejo Carpentier (El reino de este mundo), which also isn't the same as "realismo mágico". There is a tendency to put everything written in Latin America in the second half of the XX century into the vague category of magic realism.

Borges is not for those looking for easy reads, or another version of popular magical realists, no disrespect to any of them. To read Borges is to immerse yourself in philosophy, mysticism, spirituality (religious and non-religious) and what Thoreaux called "higher consciousness". His writings will leave you reeling, as if you are lost in infinity. I would highly recommend his non-fiction and poems as well- each piece truly remarkable.

In Argentina (bithplace of Borges), and I think that in the rest of latin america as well, we called the literary movement "realismo magico" not "lo real marivilloso". That was a pretty grousome error, because it completely changed the meaning. I think that such a popular media as ted should check those thinks better. Otherwise great video!

The Book of Sand would be another great one to mention if we're talking about Borges' infinity. The Aleph would be another one. The Lottery in Babel is not as much about infinity, but still amazingly fascinating.

I really liked the video, it's a very nice way of sharing the beauty of this particular south American author. I would also recommend viewers his poetry. However, I think it may have some factual errors, or not hold up to being honest on the lack of consensus regarding the interpretation of Borges' tales. For instance, it is practically impossible to classify him as a "magic realism" author, because he mostly doesn't construct tales in such a manner that everything that happens might as well actually happen, but doesn't due to the lack of probability of such a thing happening. A perfect example of this would be García Márquez. And is Babel's Library really his image of paradise? The main character in that tale constantly calls it "the universe", and his reminiscing of the happenings in it really seem to be a metaphor for our constant search for meaning in what the world throws at us. But it really doesn't matter, the video is great, please do continue introducing a wider audience to such wonderful authors.

To discover ALEPH, only to be imprisoned by ZAIR until only the shadow of the rose remains and consumes the ego. Borges understood the humanity's nostalgia for the Infinite very well. Borges is immortal. Thank you for this video.
