Abstract

This essay presents a comparative study between J.L. Borges and Dante Alighieri. Borges' "Aleph" will be linked to Dante's "Paradise" in order to show some conceptual and narratological connections, such as the temporal eternity merged in a point like space; the linguistic-cognitive ineffability of the contemplative ecstasy; and the semiotic nature of the visionary images.
