| Abstract | |
Jorge Luis Borges made the same purpose with numerous areas of knowledge: to build a fictional reality. With some topical from sacred, it was not different; the Argentine author appropriated them to build much of their narratives. His intention, however, was not just an aesthetic work. Borges purposed understanding of something bigger: the understanding of the mystery. There were a lot of references, especially the Judeo-Christian. There was a remarkable predilection for mystical and marginal literature, which reflects a very relevant aspect of his work, namely a predisposition and a remarkable respect for otherness. Then, we scoped in this study to scrutinize the movements established by Borges and how he realizes his primary purpose: the sacred aestheticize to ensure the strength of his fictional text, trying to understand the mystery and considering before everything otherness. To accomplished it, we will take as the object of analysis the tales of La Biblioteca Babel, La Escritura del Dios, Tlön, Uqbar, Orbius Tertius, El Aleph and Los Teólogos (AU) | |
