«Otras inquisiciones» is a volume of essays by Jorge Luis Borges, published by Alianza in paperback (296 pages, in Spanish).
Borges traverses recurring themes in his work: time and its refutation, eternity, infinity, redemption, pantheism, or the cabalistic reading of Scripture. The volume is completed with portraits and re-readings of Quevedo, Coleridge, Cervantes, Hawthorne, Wilde, Chesterton, Wells, Kafka, Keats, and Beckford, where erudition becomes literature.
This Alianza edition, published in 1997, belongs to the El Libro de Bolsillo collection (Biblioteca Borges, no. 6).
Due to its numerous references, it is a work for readers with literary background and an interest in the essay.
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.
