Jorge Luis Borges, known as Georgie to his friends, married Elsa Astete Millan in 1967. Borges was sixty-eight years old at the time of the wedding; Elsa, a widow, with a son in his twenties, was eleven years younger. It proved to be a tempestuous and eventful marriage that would leave an indelible mark on the remainder of Borges' life, but their relationship has been largely glossed over by previous biographers. This is because the one person who knew all the details has refused to speak about it. Until now. Norman Thomas di Giovanni worked with Borges in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and in Buenos Aires from late 1967 to 1972 and thereafter sporadically until Borges's death in 1986. During their first period together di Giovanni spent more time with the couple than did almost anyone else. He was privy to the private side of their relationship and to its sudden decline. It was di Giovanni who helped the demoralized Borges by organizing and arranging his divorce and at the same time rescuing his library and smuggling him out of Buenos Aires to avoid the wrath of Elsa and her lawyers.The book is based on the author's extensive collection of original material in the form of diaries, notebooks, letters, manuscripts, and photographs, most of which has never before been seen. It provides a unique insight into one of the few true geniuses of literature.

"The Oxford Handbook of Jorge Luis Borges consists of thirty-five chapters, organized into four main categories: Borges's life, his representative work traced across the many decades of his writing, his work in collaboration, and his reception in literature and other disciplines. The volume highlights current debates among Borges scholars as a way to reevaluate how the physical forms and sociopolitical contexts of Borges's writings both shaped and determined specific readerships around the world. Alongside these novel approaches to Borges's fictions and nonfictions, this Handbook is the first of its kind to dedicate space to the reception of Borges's works in the fields of philosophy, the visual arts, film, political science, media theory, mathematics, and law. The collection also goes further to trace Borges's activity in the public sphere, including local and national politics and the functioning of cultural institutions. To date, no other collection devoted to his writings or life addresses these issues in depth, nor do they consider how his affiliations and interests change over the course of his long life. Incorporating these broader perspectives into this Handbook serves to bring out tensions, continuities, and discontinuities in Borges's work, allowing for a much more nuanced understanding of it.

Borges once stated that he had never created a character: 'It's always me, subtly disguised'. This book focuses on the ways in which Borges uses events and experiences from his own life, in order to demonstrate how they become the principal structuring motifs of his work. It aims to show how these experiences, despite being 'heavily disguised', are crucial components of some of Borges's most canonical short stories, particularly from the famous collections Ficciones and El Aleph. Exploring the rich tapestry of symmetries, doubles and allusions and the roles played by translation and the figure of the creator, the book provides new readings of these stories, revealing their hidden personal, emotional and spiritual dimensions. These insights shed fresh light on Borges's supreme literary craftsmanship and the intimate puzzles of his fictions.

A distinguished poet and essayist and one of the finest writers of short stories in world letters, Jorge Luis Borges deliberately and regularly altered his work by extensive revision. In this volume, renowned Borges scholar Daniel Balderston undertakes to piece together Borges's creative process through the marks he left on paper. Balderston has consulted over 170 manuscripts and primary documents to reconstruct the creative process by which Borges arrived at his final published texts. How Borges Wrote is organized around the stages of his writing process, from notes on his reading and brainstorming sessions to his compositional notebooks, revisions to various drafts, and even corrections in already-published works. The book includes hundreds of reproductions of Borges’s manuscripts, allowing the reader to see clearly how he revised and "thought" on paper. The manuscripts studied include many of Borges’s most celebrated stories and essays--"The Aleph," "Kafka and His Precursors," "The Cult of the Phoenix," "The Garden of Forking Paths," "Emma Zunz," and many others--as well as lesser known but important works such as his 1930 biography of the poet Evaristo Carriego. As the first and only attempt at a systematic and comprehensive study of the trajectory of Borges's creative process, this will become a definitive work for all scholars who wish to trace how Borges wrote.

Why should there only be literary scholarship about authors who actually lived, and texts which exist? Where are the articles on Enoch Campion, Linus Withold, Redondo Panza, Darshan Singh, or Heidi B. Morton? That none of these are real authors should be no impediment to interpreting their invented writings. In the first collection of its kind, The Anthology of Babel publishes academic articles by scholars on authors, books, and movements that are completely invented. Blurring the lines between scholarship and creative writing, The Anthology of Babel inaugurates a completely new literary genre perfectly attuned to the era we live in, a project evocative of Jorge-Louis Borges, Umberto Eco, and Italo Calvino.

'Full of lively stories ... leaves the reader with an awed respect for the translator's task' Economist Would Hiroshima have been bombed if Japanese contained a phrase meaning 'no comment'? Is it alright for missionaries to replace the Bible's 'white as snow' with 'white as fungus' in places where snow never falls? Who, or what, is Kuzma's mother, and why was Nikita Khrushchev so threateningly obsessed with her (or it)? The course of diplomacy rarely runs smooth; without an invisible army of translators and interpreters, it could hardly run at all. Join veteran translator Anna Aslanyan to explore hidden histories of cunning and ambition, heroism and incompetence. Meet the figures behind the notable events of history, from the Great Game to Brexit, and discover just how far a simple misunderstanding can go.

An in-depth look at Christopher Nolan, considered to be the most profound, commercially successful director at work today, written with his full cooperation. A rare, revelatory portrait, "as close as you're ever going to get to the Escher drawing that is Christopher Nolan's remarkable brain" (Sam Mendes). In chapters structured by themes and motifs ("Time"; "Chaos"; "Dreams"), Shone offers an unprecedented intimate view of the director. Shone explores Nolan's thoughts on his influences, his vision, his enigmatic childhood past--and his movies, from plots and emotion to identity and perception, including his latest blockbuster, the action-thriller/spy-fi Tenet ("Big, brashly beautiful, grandiosely enjoyable"--Variety). Filled with the director's never-before-seen photographs, storyboards, and scene sketches, here is Nolan on the evolution of his pictures, and the writers, artists, directors, and thinkers who have inspired and informed his films. "Fabulous: intelligent, illuminating, rigorous, and highly readable. The very model of what a filmmaking study should be. Essential reading for anyone who cares about Nolan or about film for that matter."--Neal Gabler, author of An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood and Walt Disney, The Biography

《黑暗騎士》三部曲 《全面啟動》 《星際效應》 《頂尖對決》 《敦克爾克大行動》 《天能》 《記憶拼圖》 等鉅片大導， 【唯一一本】克里斯多夫．諾蘭親自受訪、親身參與的電影寶典 ▲全球票房累積超過50億美元，台灣票房累積17億元以上，當代最有號召力的電影導演 ■收錄228張全彩圖片、劇照、片場照、分鏡手稿、設定手稿等，包含未曾公開的珍稀照片 ▼「本書定義了諾蘭，影癡必備！」──《圖書館雜誌》（Library Journal） 「諾蘭的電影容易進入，要出來卻如登天難，就像滴進水裡的墨滴，看完之後在你的腦裡無窮發散。我們一旦看過他的電影，就再也無法當作沒看過。事實上，電影甚至還沒結束，在許多面向上，它才剛開始。」──湯姆．邵恩（本書作者） ▌「顯然，要正確理解克里斯多夫．諾蘭或其電影的唯一方法，就是跟著他走進迷宮。」 諾蘭的電影有如迷宮，甚至，他的製作公司「Syncopy」標誌本身就是一座迷宮。 本書以諾蘭的成長背景與知識涵養為線索，用作者20年的深交與第一手訪談實錄作證詞， 全面解答諾蘭至今每一部電影的理念、製作、編劇、攝影、美術、剪接、配樂各層面， 一層又一層，深入挖掘，帶領影迷和讀者走進他的迷宮，一窺所有謎團的真相……的真相！ 時間、空間、感知、夢境、情感、知識等， 每章皆以一部電影和一個概念為主題， 帶領讀者步上旅程，全覽諾蘭生涯至今11部電影長片 + 4部短片。 ．關於時間── 諾蘭早在首部長片《跟蹤》，就已經大玩時間軸錯亂的經典把戲。 他的電影時常有多條時間軸同時進行，觀眾必須費盡心思才能勉強跟上， 然而，諾蘭卻說：「其實，我是把時間變單純了。」 ．關於剪接── 《記憶拼圖》有兩條時間線，《跟蹤》有三條，《頂尖對決》有四條，《全面啟動》有五條，而且每一條的速度都不同。 如何呈現出多線交錯的時序？靠的就是精準的剪接。 「電影製作當中，最棒的特效就是剪接。」諾蘭說道。 ．關於分鏡構圖── 諾蘭總能以清晰的設定架構，將心中的繁複主題化為影像。 書中收錄《天能》、《星際效應》、《全面啟動》等作品的分鏡與設定手稿，諾蘭親筆繪製， 鏡頭之外層層疊疊的敘事結構，都能一覽無遺。 ．關於配樂── 諾蘭與漢斯．季默（Hans Zimmer）的長年合作中，都是「概念先行」，甚至在劇本寫完前就開始譜曲。 《黑暗騎士》裡，季默為了表達小丑的「混亂」概念，寫下400首曲子與9000小節音樂， 最後，他在培根畫作《尖叫的教皇》裡找到了那個無可取代的樂音：單一大提琴音符的嗡鳴與摩擦。 ．關於劇本── 諾蘭幾乎是唯一一位至今仍親自撰寫每部劇本的一線大導演，而他最有力的編劇夥伴，就是弟弟喬納。 《記憶拼圖》、《頂尖對決》、《黑暗騎士》、《星際效應》都是喬納的點子，諾蘭再延伸發揚。 與複雜的劇情相反，他的劇本總是極簡，《敦克爾克大行動》的劇本只有76頁：「劇本越樸實無華，越好。」 ．關於閱讀── 諾蘭從波赫士、錢德勒、佛萊明、狄更斯等作家的小說汲取養分，創作出獨一無二的電影語言。 《全面啟動》開場，李奧納多在海灘甦醒，就是波赫士《環形廢墟》的橋段。 《敦克爾克大行動》裡的漁船「月光石」，則來自他鍾愛的同名推理小說。 在這些關於迷失、禁錮、流放等意象的閱讀經驗裡，諾蘭形塑出他的電影主角。 ．關於影像── 在好萊塢特效產業日趨興盛的當下，諾蘭反其道而行，避免電腦動畫影像，偏好攝影機實拍， 《黑暗騎士：黎明昇起》全片3000個鏡頭裡，使用的電腦特效竟比浪漫喜劇片還少。 在影像的全面數位化浪潮下，他仍堅守類比的魔幻力道，造就了諾蘭電影獨特的魅力來源。 鏡射、遞迴、囚禁、套疊、迴文，都是諾蘭的電影招牌， 他是魔術師、科學家、造夢者， 他睜著雙眼作夢，並邀請我們一同參與。 ▌首次深度揭露，與諾蘭面對面，暢談電影製作的酸甜苦辣 ．談論創作心態： 「我每次拍一部新片，都必須相信自己正在製作有史以來最棒的電影。」 ．談論《記憶拼圖》的獨特敘事： 「我心裡總有個聲音在說，你真的辦得到嗎？你竟打算拍一個倒著講故事的電影？」 ．談論《黑暗騎士》希斯．萊傑的經典反派： 「在所有反派當中，我最懼怕小丑。」 ．談論《星際效應》的科幻架構： 「網路上對我的電影情節設計，標準高得奇怪。我不知道為什麼會這樣，我想，這應該是一種讚美吧。」 ．談論《敦克爾克大行動》的配樂製作： 「每一個參與這工作的人都飽受折磨，漢斯．季默和他的工作人員都在詛咒我……整部電影全是這樣做出來的。」 ．談論《天能》的倒轉場景應該怎麼拍： 「大家越鑽研劇本，越搞不懂。」 作者簡介 湯姆．邵恩（Tom Shone） 美國著名影評人，評論刊於《泰晤士報》、《Vogue》雜誌、《Slate》雜誌、《紐約客》、《紐約時報》、《衛報》等各大報章雜誌，並著有數本好萊塢研究及導演傳記：《Blockbuster: How Hollywood Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Summer》、《Woody Allen: A Retrospective》、《Tarantino: A Retrospective》等。 譯者簡介 黃政淵 台灣大學外文系學士，美國南加大電影電視製作藝術碩士，台灣藝術大學電影系兼任講師，歷年影視與文字作品曾多次獲獎。 （翻譯本書引言至第8章） 但唐謨 影評人，影評專欄，自由寫作，愛好B級電影，著有《約會不看恐怖電影不酷》，譯有《在夢中》、《猜火車》、《猜火車2：春宮電影》等。 （翻譯本書第9章至第13章）
