This paper deals with the publication of the Biblioteca Personal Jorge Luis Borges, its context within the so called "spectacle society", its "predecessors" (Schwob, Machen, Pliny, Solinus, Aelianus) and its relationship with other contemporary writers, such as the Argentinian Julio Cortázar or the Mexican Juan José Arreola. In addition, it comments on the specific poetical recreation made by Borges on some Virgilian verses, such as the hypallage from the book νι of the Aeneid. The goal is to understand the literary devices Borges uses as a reader of the authors chosen as his "predecessors".

International audience ; Singularized as it is by a clear axis of symmetry, the novel's dual structure perfectly expresses Phillips' s purpose to suggest contrasts as well as comparisons, differences as well as similitudes. Such a dyadic organization seems to set apart the Afro-American narratives of the first part and the British accounts of the second part, but, in fact, Phillips weaves together the various narrative threads using an aesthetics of fragmentation which shows simultaneously the common fractures of these suffering testimonies and the impossible coherence of so many narratives of trauma. By thus highlighting the shared features of the black accounts and the white accounts, Phillips demonstrates his deterrnination to deconstruct ail dichotomies, be they poetic or political.
