In Kalifornien geht sie zu Hausbesichtigungen, nur um sich andere Leben in anderen Räumen auszumalen. Auf ihren unzähligen Reisen nach Japan, Mexiko, Marokko, Amerika und Südeuropa sieht sie, wie eng das Wohnen an die jeweilige Kultur geknüpft ist.

El budismo, rama de la filosofía, ocupa un lugar central en el conjunto de la obra de Borges. La percepción del cosmos como un laberinto o una paradoja, la negación del Yo, el cuestionamiento a la concepción occidental del tiempo y la singular noción de que el mundo es una ficción y la realidad un sueño, entre otras ideas, cruzan los ensayos, cuentos y poemas del autor desde sus textos más tempranos y son la particular reformulación con fines literarios de algunos de los nodos centrales de esta doctrina.

Publicado en 1972, cuando Borges era ya un escritor mundialmente consagrado, en este libro se hallan presentes los temas y obsesiones que cruzan toda su obra: la espada y el tiempo, la sombra y el espejo, el azar y la curiosidad filosófica, sus autores preferidos y la marca de sus influencias. Pero están también el oro y el negro de los tigres que, de niño, contemplaba fascinado en el jardín zoológico de Buenos Aires, y el amarillo que lo acompañó en el transcurso de su ceguera.

Es ist allgemein bekannt und anerkannt, dass Karl Kraus als größter Aphoristiker des deutschsprachigen Raums gilt. Warum das so ist erfahren Sie auf diesem Hörbuch. Mit der analytischen Leichtigkeit eines Rasiermesser-scharfsinnigen Beobachters des Zeitgeschehens und der traumwandlerischen sprachlichen Sicherheit eines über aller Kritik und allen Kritikern stehenden Titanen-Geistes reflektiert Kraus den alltäglichen Wahnsinn gesellschaftlicher und kultureller Normalität.
