The Congress

Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

"The Congress" (original Spanish title: "El Congreso") is a 1971 short story by Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges. The story is on a utopic universal congress and is seen by some critics as a political essay. It was first published in the short story collection The Book of Sand, with Borges claiming it to be "perhaps the most ambitious of the tales in this book." In Milan, Franco María Ricci published the story in a deluxe edition with the letters made of gold. The Congress was Borges' favourite of his stories, or one of his favourites: If of all my stories I had to save one, I would probably save the "The Congress", which at the same time is the most autobiographical (the one richest in memories) and the most imaginative.
