This book by Borges with photos by his partner María Kodama is a quilt of places, travels, experiences and impressions. The Brazilian edition is beautiful, hard cover, colored pages, well designed. By reading these short stories, we travel to Alexandria, Venice, Athens, Reikjavik, Genev, Istanbul… We travel in the imagination of this places created or experienced and, at the same time, we get an intimacy with the author by seeing his photos as in a family album. It is an atlas of personal souvenirs of moments out of the routine, glimpses of his “errant” life.
