Abstract

This article is a philosophical reflection about one of the most important narratives of Borges: "La Biblioteca de Babel" (Babel's Library), where he puts forward some problems about the Universe-Library, time and eternity, the possible and the impossible, fantasy and reality. This story allow us to get a glimpse on the analogical work underlying its intimate structure.
