“Yo vivo, yo me dejo vivir, para que Borge pueda tramar su literatura y esa literatura me justifica”. —De “Borges y yo”

Considerado por el mismo Borges como su libro más personal, El hacedor explora la relación entre el mundo interior y exterior del artista, el misterioso espacio entre sus sueños y la vida real. Un maravilloso cruce de géneros y temáticas, los relatos, ensayos y poemas de esta colección reflejan muchas de las preocupaciones centrales que recorren toda la obra borgiana. En fascinantes escritos como “Diálogo sobre un diálogo”, “La trama”, “Dreamtigers”, y “Borges y yo”, entre otros muchos, Borges examina la serenidad de la mente creativa, el espectáculo de su figura pública, y mira hacia el más allá: el mundo eterno en el que sus libros continuarán dialogando con la literatura universal mucho después de que él mismo haya desaparecido. Valorado por la crítica como una de las obras más importantes del siglo xx, El hacedor es un extraordinario ejemplo del poder del maestro argentino, el alcance de su visión creativa y su inagotable contribución a la literatura.
Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986) was an Argentine poet, essayist, and author of short stories. His most notable works as a key literary Spanish-language figure of the twentieth century include Ficciones (Fictions) and El Aleph (The Aleph). He received a BA from the College of Geneva. He was also appointed the director of the National Public Library and professor of English literature at the University of Buenos Aries in 1955. During his lifetime, Borges received the first Prix International Formentor Prize which he shared alongside Samuel Beckett in 1961. He also received the Jerusalem Prize for the Freedom of the Individual in Society in 1971.
