In the “Documentary Prose” section - Adolfo Bioy Casares (1914–1999) “Borges” (From the Diaries) translated from Spanish by Alexander Kazachkov. A maxim upon a maxim - about Shakespeare, Cervantes, Dante, Brodsky and Yevtushenko, etc. Some of the classic’s statements beg to be included in a personal quotation book: “It is important not that the reader believes what he read, but that he feels that the writer believes what he wrote.” Or: “According to Borges, his father said that one word in the Gospels in favor of animals would save them from thousands of years of rough treatment. But it’s pointless to look for this word, it’s not there.”
