The nature of the metaphorical is the subject of \"The Kennings\" and \"The Metaphor\"; that of translation, it is the subject of \"The Translators of 'The Thousand and One Nights'\". In \"The Approach to Almotásim\", which completes the volume along with \"The Art of Insulting\", Borges, in reviewing in painstaking and erudite detail the book of the same name, plays a game: the book does not exist (at least outside his imagination). Time and space, and consequently eternity and infinity, are ultimately the basic material of this work that contains the germ that Borges' genius would unfold for another half-century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Borges Jorge Luis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43060888142072,"sku":"9789500763134","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/4897\/5608\/products\/historia-de-la-eternidad_57dcf87c-0a56-4a20-98af-60d38502c847.jpg?v=1658291068","url":"https:\/\/ellector.com.pa\/es\/products\/libro-historia-de-la-eternidad","provider":"Librerías El Lector Panamá","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
