About this listen

In this profound and revealing essay, Borges and Judaism explores the intimate and persistent relationship between one of the most universal writers of the 20th century and one of humanity’s most ancient cultures.

Through his stories, poems, and essays, Borges engages in dialogue with the Kabbalah, reimagines the myth of the Golem, reflects on the Holocaust through symbolism, and turns exile and memory into keys for reading the world. This book traces the explicit and invisible links between Borges’ universe and Jewish thought, from Spinoza to the wandering characters of his fictions. More than an erudite study, it is an invitation to understand Borges as a writer who found in Judaism a poetics of infinity, an ethics of the word, and a living metaphor of the human condition.

An essential work for those seeking to understand how literature can serve as a bridge between cultures, memories, and mysteries. Reasons to buy and listen to Borges and Judaism:

  • Explores a rarely studied connection with depth and clarity: This book sheds light on how Jewish thought, symbols, and history permeate much of Borges’ work, revealing hidden meanings and new ways of interpretation.
  • Connects literature, philosophy, and mysticism: From the Kabbalah to Spinoza, including the Golem and the Holocaust, the text offers a rich and complex perspective that interweaves the literary with the metaphysical.
  • Expands the reading of Borges from a cultural and ethical perspective: Not just Borges as a universal writer, but Borges as a reader of the Jewish tradition and a thinker on the human condition.

Discover how Borges transformed Judaism into a secret key of his literary universe. If you love Borges’ work and are intrigued by the power of symbols, this book is for you.
