  • Summary

    Borges’s experience of Argentine democracy corresponds with a period of stability and a mood of optimism and renewal in society. For the first time, he appeared in harmony with the country. His declarations to the press alternated between literary subjects and others including politics, travel, etc. His writings at the time also bear witness to his intention of re-reading his own works. And, his private life became a matter of national interest, with his marriage to María Kodama, and then the announcement that he would live in Geneva, generating controversy.
