| Sumario: | The literary studies, which have indicated Jewish influences in the fictional production of Jorge Luis Borges, are not recent. However, few have devoted themselves to the poems organized in 1969 in the book entitled Praise of the Shadow, in which there are poems that dialogue with biblical passages and with the imaginary around Israel. This article aims to discuss the concepts of Judaism and of Jewish identity and to analyze the poems entitled Israel and the others which convey some biblical references, in order to ratify the already produced criticism which identified the admiration and the affinity of Borges towards the Jews and towards Jewish culture. |
