In this profound and revealing essay, Borges and Judaism explores the intimate and persistent relationship between one of the most universal writers of the 20th century and one of humanity’s most ancient cultures.

Through his stories, poems, and essays, Borges engages in dialogue with the Kabbalah, reimagines the myth of the Golem, reflects on the Holocaust through symbolism, and turns exile and memory into keys for reading the world. This book traces the explicit and invisible links between Borges’ universe and Jewish thought, from Spinoza to the wandering characters of his fictions. More than an erudite study, it is an invitation to understand Borges as a writer who found in Judaism a poetics of infinity, an ethics of the word, and a living metaphor of the human condition.
