Borges e os orangotangos eternos (Literatura ou morte) (Portuguese Edition)

The protagonist of Borges and the Eternal Orangutans is Vogelstein, a lone fifties who lives in Porto Alegre and became "a life among books, protected in that rarely came the unexpected like a tiger." Suddenly, the fate furiously shakes the sameness of his little life and leads him to a congress of Israfel Society, formed by experts in Edgar Allan Poe - the forerunner of the modern detective novel. To the surprise of Vogelstein, this time the society will meet in Buenos Aires, where he will meet his idol: Jorge Luis Borges. And, apparently by circumstances created by the love of literature, will be seen in the center of a rocambolesco crime involving demons and arcane mysteries of the Cabala. Inadvertently, one might pronounce certain magic words and endanger the existence of the world of men. -- publisher website
