In 'Nine Dantean Essays', Jorge Luis Borges explores his fascination with the work of Dante Alighieri, especially the 'Divine Comedy'. Through these essays, Borges analyzes and interprets Dante's work, merging his own literary universes with that of the Italian author. The book offers a deep and erudite vision of Dante's influence on universal literature, as well as Borges' own reactions as a reader.
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.
