Godfrey, another client, ends up at the envisionist's office only because his fiancée insisted they know their fate before taking the plunge. But when Godfrey meets Evelyn in the waiting room, true love may be right in front of them, but they are too preoccupied-and too burdened by their pasts-to recognize it.This smart, fresh love story, with its quirky twists and turns, ponders life's big questions-about happiness, fate, and our very existence-as it follows Evelyn and Godfrey's quest for the elusive answers.'A love story about love stories . . .

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! 'The Library of Babel' (Spanish: La biblioteca de Babel) is a short story by Argentine author and librarian Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986), conceiving of a universe in the form of a vast library containing all possible 410-page books of a certain format. The story originally appeared in Spanish in Borges's 1941 collection of stories El Jardín de senderos que se bifurcan (The Garden of Forking Paths). That entire book was, in turn, included within his much-reprinted Ficciones (1944). Two English-language translations appeared approximately simultaneously in 1962, one by James E. Irby in a diverse collection of Borges's works entitled Labyrinths and the other by Anthony Kerrigan as part of a collaborative translation of the entirety of Ficciones. Englisch.

This book underscores developments in chaos theory during the 1980s and their intricate connections with Borges's works and the digital world. Without losing sight of this critical framework, this study also takes into account Deleuze and Guattari's rhizome theory and Umberto Eco's theory on labyrinths. Borges 2.0 is unique in its analysis of how Borgesian texts relate to science and technology at the same time that science and the virtual world illuminate Borges's texts to provide a new reading of his work. 136 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Jorge Luis Borges is the darling of authors and critics who were once described as postmodern. Borges's fictions assail the boundaries between text, world and self. In one sense, the fictions are mere rhetorical games, puzzles, or 'tricks', which disrupt communication (and interpretation), but they also suggest-at least to some-metaphysical uncertainties. To read them is as if one read the fictions of Hume or the Buddha. Most of the literary and biblical scholars in this volume pair the Bible and its scholarship with one or more of Borges's short fictions (particularly those first collected in English in Ficciones), but some venture into Borges's essays, poetry, and his life story (as he and others have told it). As to Bibles, some essayists focus on particular texts from the Hebrew Bible (like Genesis, Samuel, Kings or Job) or the Christian New Testament (like Mark, 2 Corinthians, or Revelation), while others engage traditions of interpretation like Gnosticism, the Kabbalah or academic biblical scholarship. Several focus on canon, translation, the craft of fiction, religion or hermeneutics as a way of thinking about Borges and the Bible. With Borges, interpretation is ubiquitous. Whether consciously fictionalizing or not, all (biblical) interpretation transforms its precursor. All (biblical) interpretation becomes a play with secrecy and revelation. Borgesian Bibles and scholarship are labyrinths, gardens of forking paths, unsettling and distorting mirrors. With Borges, biblical scholars come face to face with their finitude, obsession, fascination, ambivalence, and inevitable heresy vis-à-vis ta biblia.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 140x192mm; pp. 144. BORGES' FIRST APPEARANCE IN ENGLISH. 'The Garden of Forking Paths' is one of Borges' most famous stories, and has been hailed as the first 'hypertext' narrative. It is the title story in the collection 'El jardín de senderos que se bifurcan' (1941), and its 1948 publication here, in Anthony Boucher's translation, marks Borges English-language debut. 'The Garden of Forking Paths' discusses the fictional writer Ts'ui Pên, who has created a vast labyrinth-like novel in which all possible plot variations occur and interweave. Such a novel is of course impossible, but has been taken by many theorists of 'new media' as a prescient discussion of the narrative possibilities of cyberspace. The idea of an 'infinite' text was explored by Borges a number of times, notably in 'The Library of Babel' and 'The Book of Sand'. A very good copy of this fragile publication: front cover with a faint streak; rear cover lightly browned; paper age toned as always; stapled binding strong, corners and edges good; internally excellent.
