El libro que revela a Borges en su faceta docente, imprescindible para los amantes de su obra y de la literatura.
No lo cite: lealo. […] Urge no ya leerlo o releerlo, sino, como sugeria Bolano, releerlo otra vez . -Gonzalo Nunez, La Razon
En 1966, Borges dicto un curso de literatura inglesa en la Universidad de Buenos Aires. Las clases fueron grabadas por algunos alumnos, que luego las transcribieron para que otros pudieran escucharlas. Las cintas originales se han perdido, pero los textos se han conservado hasta hoy. Tras un intenso trabajo de analisis e investigacion de las fuentes, Martin Arias y Martin Hadis lograron compilar las transcripciones, sin modificar el lenguaje oral de Borges, que nos ha llegado intacto. La pasion de Borges, conjugada con su memoria casi infalible, hace de este libro una obra esencial para los admiradores del gran escritor argentino y los amantes de la literatura.
