  • "Vogelstein is a loner who has always lived among books. Suddenly, fate grabs hold of his insignificant life and carries him off to Buenos Aires, to a conference on Edgar Allan Poe, the inventor of the modern detective story. There Vogelstein meets his idol, Jorge Luis Borges, and for reasons that a mere passion for literature cannot explain, he finds himself at the center of a murder investigation that involves arcane demons, the mysteries of the Kabbala, the possible destruction of the world, and the Elizabethan magus John Dee's "Eternal Orangutan," which, given all the time in the world, would end up writing all the known books in the cosmos."
  • "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."
