The preface to B. Russell's History of Western Philosophy states that Borges would have taken this book with him to the moon out of a possible 5. what other 4 books would he take?

One Answer

1. I didn't find anything about the moon, but I did find a list of five books that he would take with him to a desert island:

   / “The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire”, E. Gibbon

   / the already mentioned book by russell

   | any book by henri poincare

   | Encyclopedia, preferably Brockhaus or Britannica

   | The Bible

   Here is a piece of the original interview where I found this information (in Spanish): milenio.com
