Abstract

Dominique Jullien's book, "Borges, Buddhism and World Literature," explores the recurring theme of the Great Renunciation in the works of Jorge Luis Borges and its connection to his interest in Buddhism. Jullien argues that Borges's morphological conception of literature, which focuses on infinite transformations of fundamental forms, can be applied to reading other texts. The book also examines Borges's relationship with the Argentinian state in the 1950s and its influence on his writing. While the book offers a concise and clear analysis, it is limited by the format of the publication. [Extracted from the article]
