Aleph

Aleph

Jorge Luis Borges

Aleph, siebzehn fantastische Geschichten mit einem Epilog, von Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986), ist neben der berühmten Sammlung Ficcones (Fiktionen) das wichtigste Erzählbuch im Oeuvre dieses großen argentinischen Schriftstellers.

Der Titel des Buches folgt der letzten Geschichte: El Aleph. Darin wird mit einer Kombination aus überlegenem intellektuellen Humor und traumhafter Fantasie das Schicksal eines unbedeutenden Schriftstellers beschrieben, dem das Schicksal eine einzigartige Gnade schenkt, nämlich eine Vision von Aleph – dem ersten Buchstaben des hebräischen Alphabets – zu sehen, in dem, in völlige Gleichzeitigkeit, die Veränderungen des gesamten Universums werden gespiegelt. Kritiker halten es für eine ironische Paraphrase von Dantes Inferno. Gegenüber steht die Geschichte von Zahir, über einen Mann (Borges), der nach und nach von dem Bild einer Nickelmünze besessen ist, bis es am Ende jedes andere Detail, das das Universum umfasst, aus seinem Kopf verdrängt. Diese und andere Geschichten machten dieses Buch zu einem der Spitzenreiter der weltweiten Belletristik.
