 Scope and Content Information

This two-page autograph manuscript, ca. 1924-1926, "Bolatín de una noche" ("report on a night") by Jorges Luis Borges, written in Spanish and corrected by the author, was intended as an essay in El Idiona de los Argentinosbut was apparently rejected and never published. Borges "writes of returning home, immersed in sleep and silence. His sense of being alone and enveloped in the house's deep darkness induces him to reflect on his own being. But here the tone of his questioning is not influenced by the concept of duality, but is rather overwhelmingly laced through with the idealist philosophy..." [ Modern Fiction Studies, Vol. 19, No. 3. (Autumn 1973) Jorges Luis Borges Number. Donald A. Yates, "Behind 'Borges and I,'" pages 317-324].
