“New Investigations” is one of the most famous collections of essays by the great Argentine writer-mystery of the 20th century H. L. Borges. Based on the titles of the essays included in this collection, an unprepared reader will try to guess the content, deciding that these are ordinary reviews of works, moreover, little known to the general public. And he will be wrong. Borges dissects the “common intellectual property” (the term of G. Hesse) in a way subject to his alone and interprets it, tracing connections and patterns in time and space.
