EL ALEPH DE JOYCE. ESTUDIO DE LOS MICROCOSMOS EN EL ULISES DE JOYCE Y EN EL ALEPH DE BORGES
Elena Nicolás Cantabella
Resumen
A pesar de que entre la publicación del Ulises de James Joyce (1922) y la colección de cuentos de Jorge Luis Borges El Aleph (1945), en la que se encuentra el famosísimo cuento del mismo título, median más de veinte años, miles de kilómetros de distancia y unas circunstancias vitales muy diferentes entre ambos autores, al leer la novela del irlandés y el cuento del argentino surgen en nuestra mente vínculos que enlazan las dos obras y que justifican este breve estudio comparativo, el cual tiene como base de comparación la presencia de un microcosmos, de un “quark”, de un aleph o de una compresión de la esfera de Pascal (utilizando las metáforas de Borges) en ambos textos.
ABSTRACT
Although between the publication of Joyce´s Ulysses (1922) and the collection of short stories El Aleph (1945) by Jorge Luis Borges, in which is inserted the famous story with the same title, are separated by more than twenty years, thousands of miles and a very different circumstances in the life of both authors, when the irish´s novel and the argentinian story are read, in our minds some bonds come up that tie this two works and justify this brief comparative study, which compares the presence of a microcosm, a “quark”, an aleph or a compresion of Pascal´s sphere (using Borges´s metaphors) in both texts.
