Synopsis "El oro de los Tigres (in Spanish)"

«Con los años fueron dejándome
los otros hermosos colores
y ahora sólo me quedan
la vaga luz, la inextricable sombra
y el oro del principio.»

Publicado en 1972, cuando Borges era ya un escritor mundialmente consagrado, en este libro se hallan presentes los temas y obsesiones que cruzan toda su obra: la espada y el tiempo, la sombra y el espejo, el azar y la curiosidad filosófica, sus autores preferidos y la marca de sus influencias. Pero están también el oro y el negro de los tigres que, de niño, contemplaba fascinado en el jardín zoológico de Buenos Aires, y el amarillo que lo acompañó en el transcurso de su ceguera.

Jorge Luis Borges (Buenos Aires, 1899 – Geneva, 1986) was one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, noted for his originality and literary precision. His work, primarily in the genres of short stories, essays, and poetry, redefined literature in the Spanish language. Throughout his life, he cultivated unparalleled erudition, with constant references to philosophy, metafiction, labyrinths, and the infinite.

Among his most recognized works are Fictions (1944), The Aleph (1949), The Maker (1960), and The Book of Sand (1975). Although he never received the Nobel Prize, he did obtain numerous international accolades for his work. His legacy continues to be a subject of study and admiration in the literary world worldwide.
