In this varied collection of essays we travel with Borges on journeys in time, in place, and in thought - from the Chinese Emperor Shih HUang Ti (246 BC) to the British Airplane Designer John William Dunne (1949 AD); from the ancient Persia of Omar Khayyam to the modern England of Bertrand Russell.\n'This remarkable book by one of the greatest writers alive in the world today includes essays dealing with various concepts of time which have been presented throughout history, including Borges' own.' New Refutation of Time. 'Another general thought common to several essays is that of the profound unity of ideas as they are expressed and re-expressed in the written word. We also find a justification for suicide: The Biathanatos; a proposed universal language: The analytical language of John Wilkins; the development of language from oral to written communication: On the Cult of Books; and the modern-day subjects of revolution and fascism - Two Books.
