With a keen appreciation of Borges himself and a pleasant disregard for the critical clichés, Bell-Villada tells us all we really want to know about the modern master-from pronouncing his name to understanding the stories." ?New York Daily News "Of the scores of Borges studies by now published in English, Bell-Villada's excellent book stands out as one of the freshest and most generally helpful. Lay readers and specialists alike will find his book a valuable and highly readable companion to Ficciones and El Aleph." ?Choice Since its first publication in 1981, Borges and His Fiction has introduced the life and works of this Argentinian master-writer to an entire generation of students, high school and college teachers, and general readers. Responding to a steady demand for an updated edition, Gene H. Bell-Villada has significantly revised and expanded the book to incorporate new information that has become available since Borges' death in 1986. In particular, he offers a more complete look at Borges and Peronism and Borges' personal experiences of love and mysticism, as well as revised interpretations of some of Borges' stories. As before, the book is divided into three sections that examine Borges' life, his stories in Ficciones and El Aleph, and his place in world literature. 410 0$aTexas Pan American series. 606 $aBorges, Jorge Luis, -- 1899-1986 -- Criticism and interpretation 606 $aRomance Literatures$2HILCC 606 $aLanguages & Literatures$2HILCC 606 $aSpanish Literature$2HILCC 615 4$aBorges, Jorge Luis, -- 1899-1986 -- Criticism and interpretation. 615 7$aRomance Literatures 615 7$aLanguages & Literatures 615 7$aSpanish Literature 676 $a868 700 $aBell-Villada$b Gene H.$f1941-$01120968 701 $aBell-Villada$b Gene H.$f1941-$01120968 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963838303321 996 $aBorges and His Fiction$94364854 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04987nam 2200673Ia 450 001 9910972915003321 005 20251116181540.0 010 $a1-60876-597-0 035 $a(CKB)2550000001041168 035 $a(EBL)3018145 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000835027 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11432663 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000835027 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10982367 035 $a(PQKB)10394138 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3018145 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3018145 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10659067 035 $a(OCoLC)923657273 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001041168 100 $a20090408d2009 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aBuilding language skills and cultural competencies in the military /$fEdgar D.
