Through a twist of fate that the author of "Labyrinths" himself would have relished, these lost lectures given in English at Harvard in 1967-1968 by Jorge Luis Borges return to us now, a recovered tale of a life-long love affair with literature and the English language. Transcribed from tapes only recently discovered, "This Craft of Verse" captures the cadences, candour, wit and remarkable erudition of one of the most extraordinary and enduring literary voices of the 20th century. In its wide-ranging commentary and exquisite insights, the book stands as a deeply personal yet far-reaching introduction to the pleasures of the word, and as a first-hand testimony of to the life of literature. Though his avowed topic is poetry, Borges explores subjects ranging from prose forms (especially the novel), literary history and translation theory to philosophical aspects of literature in particular and communication in general. Probably the best-read citizen of the globe in his day, he draws on a wealth of examples from literature in modern and mediaeval English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Greek, Latin, Arabic, Hebrew and Chinese, speaking with characteristic eloquence on Plato, the Norse "kenningar", Byron, Poe, Chesterton, Joyce and Frost, as well as on translations of Homer, the Bible, and the "Rubaiyat" of Omar Khayyam. Whether discussing metaphor, epic poetry, the origins of verse, poetic meaning, or his own "poetic creed", Borges gives a performance as entertaining as it is intellectually engaging. A lesson in the love of literature and in the making of a unique literary sensibility, this is a sustained encounter with one of the writers by whom the 20th century will be long remembered.

读后感

这本小书是一些天的早晨，在小公园里读完的。合上的时候，心里顿时难过起来，就像是经历了一场告别。每一本从头读到尾的书都要经历这样的告别式才行，我觉得这太难得了。书中博尔赫斯讲啊，诗歌是最贴近作者内心世界的了，并真真切切将自己的感受传达于你。当你读到天空像一只...

一边画画一边听，一不小心就通宵了…… = = 今年把这本书读了三遍，还是觉得奥妙无穷。博尔赫斯的西班牙语口音真是有意思，每到for example 就直接在那边por ejamplo哈哈…… Harvard现场气氛真好，很多点之前看书的时候都没笑（是我道行太浅没发现那是笑点吧= =

Bernard Shaw said that Plato was the dramatist who invented Socrates,even as the four evangelists were the dramatists who invented Jesus.

真没劲。。
