In the article the relationship of Borges’ poetics and theology is analysed. To this end, the authors selected three stories which address a large timeline ranging from the Middle Ages to the present day. To address them properly, the necessary references to the historical context are made. Fundamentally, this analysis shows that to Jorge Luis Borges God transcends any system.

Starting with references to sacred texts (Torah, Talmud) and the notion that Judaism is constituted by a line of texts and not of blood, I move on to the heterodoxy that, among other aspects, links Borges with Kafka and ways of reading them through their links with philosophy, mathematics, architecture, Judaism, tradition and, especially, through their subversive questioning of all that is.

The essay consists in a contextual reading of the poem La fama [The fame] by Jorge Luis Borges. First of all, the significance of the library in Borges’s imaginary is introduced. In addition, the article presents some remarks on the Polish translations of La fama and analyses the specific linguistic form of the poem. Special stress is placed on the infinitivo compuesto [compound infinitive] form. The author also comments on the mental and physical activities expressed in infinitives and in mere verbs connected with the concept of fame. What follows is an analysis of the metaphorical sense of literary allusions, including their self-referential aspect as a typical feature of Borges’s writing. In this context, the verse “No haber salido de mi biblioteca” transpires to be the focal point of the poem and the key to its interpretation. The article closes with an explanation of the figure of the poem.

This article tries to unveil one of the great enigmas of Kafka studies, namely, the identity of the author of the first translation of The Metamorphosis into a foreign language. Indeed, in 1925 the Revista de Occidente published a Spanish version of Kafka’s famous novella, a translation that was 3 years ahead of the first French version and 12 years ahead of the first English version. The author of this translation, which helped to make Kafka’s work known throughout Europe and also in America, has remained unknown until now, despite the most diverse attributions, from Margarita Nelken to Jorge Luis Borges. We try to demonstrate, through solid contextual and textual arguments, that the only possible author of this pioneering translation, still valid today, is the Galician Ramón María Tenreiro.

In the interview which appeared after the premiere of The Shining, Kubrick said that the fantastic qualities of reality in his movies are “treated in a very […] ordinary way”. He indicated that uncanny events are also depicted in this way in Jorge Luis Borges’ writings. The comparison made by Kubrick should not be disregarded since the labyrinth motif, which does not appear in Stephen King’s book that has been adapted for the screen, is an important theme in Borges’ works as well as in The Shining. The Garden of Forking Paths, which was also written by this Argentinian writer, not only explores the above-mentioned motif, but also describes the conception of time which can be found in The Shining and in the last scene of Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Borges’ literary works might be helpful in comprehending Kubrick’s notion of the fourth dimension. The coexistence of different times in The Shining, in turn, refers to the theological idea of eternity. This conception corresponds to the main character’s nature – especially his desires, aspirations and anxieties. The established perspective provides an opportunity to exemplify what Kubrick meant by showing the fantastic qualities of reality “in a simple, non-baroque style”.
