Atlas

Atlas is a unique text that blends the memories, observations and dreams that Borges collected during his trips to different cities around the world.

Atlas is a book different from all the books of Jorge Luis Borges. An atlas that emerged in the course of Borges and his wife María Kodama's discovery of unique sounds, languages, twilights, cities, gardens and people in all corners of the world. It is a blend of Borges' texts with images of cities such as Istanbul, Venice, Athens, Geneva, Rome, Paris and Madrid, whose air they breathed. Atlas is the meeting of word and image in Borgesian style. The meeting of dreams born from the soul of the earth in the weave of time. A journey of literary associations among steep mountains, clear seas and magical islands. A unique journey invitation for the reader who wants to open up to a time outside of time and learn the language of the universe, together with Borges.

"Discovering the unknown is not just for Sinbad or Copernicus. Every human being is an explorer."
-Jorge Luis Borges-
