Overview: Jorge Luis Borges was born in Buenos Aires in 1899 and was educated in Europe. One of the major writers of our time, he has published many collections of poems, essays, and short stories. In 1961, Borges shared the International Publishers’ Prize with Samuel Beckett. The Ingram Merrill Foundation granted him its Annual Literary Award in 1966 for his ‘outstanding contribution to literature’. Recently, he was awarded the degree of Doctor of Letters, honoris causa , from both Columbia and Oxford, and the same year won the fifth biennial Jerusalem Prize. Time has called him ‘the greatest living writer in the Spanish language today’, while the New York Herald Tribune has described him as ‘unquestionably the most brilliant South American writing today’.
Due to a hereditary condition, Borges became blind in his late fifties. In 1955, he was appointed director of the National Public Library (Biblioteca Nacional) and professor of Literature at the University of Buenos Aires. In 1961, he came to international attention when he received the first International Publishers’ Prize Prix Formentor. His work was translated and published widely in the United States and in Europe. He died in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1986.
