Jorge Luis Borges (1899 - 1986) - a cult author of intellectuals, professor honoris causa of the world's leading universities and guide to the Library of Babylon and almost all the libraries of the world.
When in 1978 Borges was offered to give a series of lectures, he chose topics for them that time had brought him into contact with. In the first, the great Argentine writer talks about a book, in the second about immortality, in the third about Swedenborg - a visionary who wrote that the dead choose hell or heaven of their own free will. In the fourth - about a detective story, and in the fifth - about time.
"We have many aspirations, among them - the desire to live and live forever, but there is also the desire for the end, in addition to fear and its reverse - hope. But all this can come true without personal immortality, we do not need it. Personally, I do not want it and am afraid of it; "It would be terrible for me to know that I would continue, it would be terrible to think that I would remain Borges. I am already tired of myself, of my name and my fame, and I want to be free from all this," said Borges, for whom the library was a paradise.
