The Canary Islands and America Documentation Center (CEDOCAM) remembers Jorge Luis Borges, a key figure in universal literature, on the 40th anniversary of his death.

The Canary Islands and America Documentation Center (CEDOCAM) evokes the memory of Jorge Luis Borges (Buenos Aires, August 24, 1899 – Geneva, June 14, 1986), as four decades have passed since his physical departure this year.
A tribute is paid to one of the most influential figures in universal literature. His work, which transcends genres, languages, and borders, continues to invite exploration into the labyrinths of time, memory, and identity.
Borges conceived the library as an infinite universe, a space where each book dialogues with others and knowledge expands without limits. His legacy remains alive in every reader who delves into his pages and discovers new ways of seeing the world.
Four decades after his passing, his voice remains intact: lucid, ironic, and profoundly human. Remembering him is also about championing the value of words, imagination, and critical thinking.
Today, more than ever, we turn our gaze back to Borges.
