« J’ai trouvé ce mot chez Montaigne (encore lui !), et il me plaît. C’est ainsi qu’il appelle, de manière imagée, les digressions où il semble s’égarer. On ne trouvera pas dans ces quelques pages un thème directeur, mais seulement des “farcissures” […]. Autre photo empruntée à los angeles food… Je rassemble ici des pensées qui me sont venues, des scènes qui m’ont frappée un jour, une expression entendue, comme on réunit deux oignons, quelques carottes, une tomate, un reste de viande, un bout de saucisse, et les indispensables pommes de terre, pour faire mijoter un ragoût, qu’on espère savoureux et roboratif, qu’on peut faire réchauffer sans qu’il perde son goût, au contraire. »

Jorge Luis Borges,A. Melis's Finzioni (Biblioteca Adelphi) (Italian Edition) PDF

By Jorge Luis Borges,A. Melis

Un falso paese scoperto in «un’enciclopedia pirata», Uqbar, e un pianeta immaginario, Tlön, «labirinto ordito da uomini» ma capace di cambiare l. a. faccia del mondo; il "Don Chisciotte" di Menard, identico a quello di Cervantes eppure infinitamente più ricco; il mago che plasma un figlio nella materia dei sogni e scopre di essere a sua volta solo un sogno; l’infinita Biblioteca di Babele, i cui scaffali «registrano tutte le combinazioni possibili della ventina di simboli ortografici ... cioè tutto ciò che è dato di esprimere: in tutte le lingue» e che sopravviverà all’estinzione della specie umana; il giardino dai sentieri che si biforcano; l’insonne Funes, che ha più ricordi di quanti ne avranno mai tutti gli uomini insieme; il perspicace detective Lönnrot, che risolve una serie di delitti grazie a un triangolo equilatero e a una parola greca, "Tetragrammaton", e si condanna a morte; lo scrittore ebreo Jaromir Hladìk, cui Dio concede di portare a termine una tragedia in versi davanti al plotone di esecuzione tedesco, in un immoto istante che dura un anno.
Sono i lemmi di un’enciclopedia illusoria e al pace stesso, non diversamente da quella di Tlön, di arcana, irresistibile potenza. Un’enciclopedia che ha scompaginato le nostre certezze in materia di letteratura e che tuttavia sembra riflettere il nostro paesaggio interiore – come un’antica mappa che, riaffiorata d’improvviso alla luce, riveli segni e simboli inspiegabilmente familiari. Un’enciclopedia che, forse, avevamo già sognato.
"Finzioni" (1944) giunse in Italia nel 1955, e los angeles traduzione di Franco Lucentini fu l. a. prima di un’opera di Borges. Ora, a distanza di quasi cinquant’anni, lo presentiamo in una nuova versione, che tiene conto delle varianti e delle aggiunte introdotte nella seconda edizione, del 1956: basterà ricordare che furono inclusi tre nuovi racconti – "La fine", "La setta della Fenice" e "Il Sud" –, fra gli ultimi scritti da Borges prima della lunga pausa narrativa che si concluderà con "Il manoscritto di Brodie".
