«Historia de la eternidad» is a collection of essays by Jorge Luis Borges, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (159 pages, in Spanish).
The essays examine how eternity and time have been conceived: from the Platonic and Christian conceptions to Nietzsche's theory of eternal recurrence and the idea of circular time. They also study Icelandic kennings, translations of One Thousand and One Nights, and texts such as «El acercamiento a Almotásim» and the «Arte de injuriar».
This edition was published in 1975 and is classified in the categories of Literature and Fiction and Philosophy.
Aimed at university readers and the general public interested in Borges's work and philosophical debates about time.
Jorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges was an Argentine short-story writer, essayist, poet and translator regarded as a key figure in Spanish-language and international literature. His best-known works, Ficciones (transl. Fictions) and El Aleph, published in the 1940s, are collections of short stories exploring motifs such as dreams, labyrinths, chance, infinity, archives, mirrors, fictional writers, and mythology. Borges's works have contributed to philosophical literature and the fantasy genre, and have had a major influence on the magical realist movement in 20th century Latin American literature.
