Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges Acevedo {'1': ", '2': ", '3': ", '4': "} ( ; ]    ; 24 August 1899 – 14 June 1986) was an Argentine short-story writer, essayist, poet and translator, and a key figure in Spanish-language literature.
 His best-known books, "Ficciones" ("Fictions") and "El Aleph" ("The Aleph"), published in the 1940s, are compilations of short stories interconnected by common themes, including dreams, labyrinths, libraries, mirrors, fictional writers, philosophy, and religion.
Jorge Luis Borges and mathematics
Jorge Luis Borges and mathematics concerns several modern mathematical concepts found in certain essays and short stories of Argentinian author Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986), including concepts such as set theory, recursion, chaos theory, and infinite sequences, although Borges' strongest links to mathematics are through Georg Cantor's theory of infinite sets, outlined in "The Doctrine of Cycles" ("La doctrina de los ciclos").
 Some of Borges' most popular works such as "The Library of Babel" ("La Biblioteca de Babel"), "The Garden of Forking Paths" ("El Jardín de Senderos que se Bifurcan"), "The Aleph" ("El Aleph"), an allusion to Cantor's use of the Hebrew letter aleph (formula_1) to denote cardinality of transfinite sets.
 and "The Approach to Al-Mu'tasim" ("El acercamiento a Almotásim") illustrate his use of mathematics. Ficciones
Ficciones is the most popular collection of short stories by Argentine writer and poet Jorge Luis Borges, often considered the best introduction to his work.
 "Ficciones" should not be confused with "Labyrinths", although they have much in common.
 "Labyrinths" is a separate translation of Borges's material into English, by James E. Irby, that, like the translation into English of "Ficciones", appeared in 1962.
 Together, these two translations led to much of Borges's worldwide fame in the 1960s.
 Several stories appear in both volumes. "
The Approach to Al-Mu'tasim" appeared originally in "History of Eternity" (1936). Harto The Borges
Harto The Borges is a documentary film by Eduardo Montes-Bradley.
 "Harto The Borges" explores the narcissistic side of Jorge Luis Borges, the author of El Aleph, his frequent and often criticized comments to the press, his distinctive and gentle ironies.
 Harto The Borges had a theatrical release in Buenos Aires in September 2000, and was well received by the critics.
 Since then has been frequently exhibited at forums, campuses, and film festivals.
 On October 4, 2011, Harto The Borges was made available to the general audience in Argentina through the On Line version of Revista Cultura Ñ, (Diario Clarin) in Buenos Aires.
 The film was released alongside an article in which the director views the film ten years after its premier at the Cine Cosmos.
 The film is currently available in Vimeo . Adrogue, con ilustraciones de Norah Borges
Adrogué, con ilustraciones de Norah Borges (1977) is a volume of poetry by Jorge Luis Borges, illustrated by his sister Norah Borges, about the city of Adrogué.
 It was born from a lecture given by Borges about "Adrogué in his books" at the celebration of the first "Week of Culture" of the Almirante Brown Partido in 1977. Días de odio
Días de odio, literally translated as Days of Hate, is a 1954 Argentine film.
 It is based on the short story "Emma Zunz" by Jorge Luis Borges.
Días de odio is a film Argentina in black and white directed by Leopoldo Torre Nilsson scripted himself about the story of Jorge Luis Borges entitled Emma Zunz, which was included in the book The Aleph and first released in 1949.
 It was first performed the 3 of June 1954 and had as main protagonists Elisa Galvé , Nicolas Freguês, Raul del Valle, Enrique de Pedro, Duilio Marzio and Virginia Romay .
 The producer of the film was Armando Bó . Á Bao A Qu
A Bao A Qu is a legendary Mewar creature described in Jorge Luis Borges's 1967 "Book of Imaginary Beings".
 Borges claimed to have found it either in an introduction to the "Arabian Nights" by Richard Francis Burton, or in the book "On Malay Witchcraft" (1937) by C.C. Iturvuru.
 The Burton reference was given in the original Spanish, but it was changed to the Iturvuru reference in the English text, possibly to make it sound more exotic, or as a reference to Borges' friend C. C. Iturburu.
 The writer Antares conjectures that Borges's tale might be inspired by Orang Asli myth, and that "A Bao A Qu" is a slurring of "abang aku" meaning "my elder brother". Jorge Guillermo Borges Haslam
Jorge Guillermo Borges Haslam (24 February 1874 – 14 February 1938) was an Argentine lawyer and writer.
 He was the son of Colonel Francisco Borges Lafinur, an Argentine military officer of Uruguayan origins, and Frances Anne Haslam, an English native.
 In 1898, he married Leonor Acevedo Suárez with whom he had two children: writer Jorge Luis Borges and painter Norah Borges.
 Due to the failing eyesight that would eventually afflict his son, Borges Haslam eventually abandoned his law career law and the family moved to Geneva, Switzerland before World War I, where the young Jorge Luis was treated by an eye specialist.
 In 1921, the Borges family returned to Argentina. Borges on Martín Fierro
Borges on Martín Fierro concerns Argentinian Jorge Luis Borges's comments on José Hernández's nineteenth century poem "Martín Fierro".
 Like most of his compatriots, Borges was a great admirer of this work, which he often characterized as the one clearly great work in Argentine literature.
 Because "Martín Fierro" has been widely considered (beginning with Leopoldo Lugones's "El Payador", 1916) the fountainhead or pinnacle of Argentine literature, Argentina's "Don Quixote" or "Divine Comedy", and because Borges was certainly Argentina's greatest twentieth-century writer, Borges's 1953 book of essays about the poem and its critical and popular reception - "El "Martín Fierro"" (written with Margarita Guerrero) - gives insight into Borges's identity as an Argentine.
