El enigma de la Esfinge

Rate this book
En muchos sentidos, debemos la lectura de Thomas De Quincey (1755-1859) a Borges. Interpetar no es des-ocultar la verdad, sino rodear ese vacío con la consistencia del arumento, la ficción, el humor. 'El enigma de la Esfinge' es un ensayo que recupera la potencia del enigma como pregunta sin solución sobre lo que todav{ia llamamos humano.
