In "Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote" (1939), Jorge Luis Borges tells the fictional and unbelievable story of the title character that, by rewriting line by line, word for word, the famous book of Cervantes, wrote a version of "almost infinitely more rich" than the old one. The operation of Menard is given not by the creation of an object itself, but by straightening symbolic of something already existing previously. On the one hand, sets an opinion about the object and its history, while on the other, gives it significance, current and future different from the original. Under the penalty of Menard, or rather, Borges, Cervantes the Quixote - the Knight of the Woeful Countenance, after read romances of chivalry, decides to go around the world following fantasies that do not match to reality – transfigures without leaving traces. Goes on to tell us a story invisible in which juxtapose object and meaning, in a way that the first becomes, somehow, only the material correlate of the speculative process that has set up the second. | In "Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote" (1939), Jorge Luis Borges tells the fictional and unbelievable story of the title character that, by rewriting line by line, word for word, the famous book of Cervantes, wrote a version of "almost infinitely more rich" than the old one.
