Човек, судбина, време, сан, вечни повратак као теме Борхесових приповедака
Man, Fate, Time, Dream, Eternal Return as Themes of Borges‘ Short Stories

Summary/Abstract: The collection of short stories The Book of Sand by Jorge Luis Borges is a narrative which deals with the quest for identity and destiny. Borges’ man, which can be understood as a synthesis of the tradition and modernity, emerges from this tradition and on its basis it is largely constituted. Hence, the paper attempts to to examine the ways in which Borges’ opus can be related to the Latin American radition, as well as the ways in which Borges, seen through the prism of that tradition, reflects on the issues of fate, life, death, and eternal renewal, and then connects these issues with the concept of writing, and, ultimately, the literature. The paper also attempts to determine the extent to which the identity of the man and his work is rooted in the tradition and the ways in which the tradition is always renewed through man and his work.
