Jorge Luis Borges. Biography and complete works (1497 words)
His father taught him philosophy, once using a chessboard to explain Zeno's paradox, and his mother, who would live to see 99, was a strong woman who would one day travel around the world with her son.
He established a friendship with a local poet, his neighbor Evaristo Carriego, a reckless man who represented much of the "sentimental machismo" of Argentine tradition and would become something of a minor idol to the young dreamer.
This period of his career, which included the authorship of several volumes of essays and poems and the founding of three literary journals, ended with a biography, Evaristo Carriego (1930), about his boyhood hero, the poet Carriego, who had died of tuberculosis in 1912.
