Se analizan tres cuentos de dicho volumen: &#8220;El otro&#8221;, &#8220;El libro de arena&#8221; y &#8220;El Congreso&#8221;. Se establecen similitudes y diferencias en el uso del doble y la biblioteca total, tópicos característicos en Borges que son rastreados en textos anteriores: &#8220;Tres versiones de Judas&#8221;, &#8220;Los teólogos&#8221;, &#8220;Hombre de la esquina rosada&#8221;, &#8220;La biblioteca de Babel&#8221;, entre otros. Asimismo, se identifican algunos elementos autobiográficos para ahondar en el distanciamiento crítico del autor respecto de sí mismo y de su obra anterior.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract This paper proposes some ways to reformulate the critical readings that consider The Book of Sand (1975) a repetitive and dispensable piece of Borges&#8217;s oeuvre. It briefly analyses three short stories included in that book; &#8220;The Other&#8221;, &#8220;The Book of Sand&#8221; and &#8220;The Congress&#8221;. Similarities and differences are established in the use of characteristic topics in Borges: the double and the total library; these are traced in several previous texts: &#8220;Three Versions of Judas&#8221;, &#8220;The Theologians&#8221;, &#8220;Streetcorner Man&#8221;, &#8220;The Library of Babel&#8221; among others. Likewise, some autobiographical elements are identified to delve into the author&#8217;s critical distancing from himself and from his previous work.]]></p></abstract>
