Questions of translation in Jorge Luis Borges and Italo Calvino.

The present text aims to present reflections on the translations which are included in Jorge Luis Borges and Italo Calvino's works. It identifies how these writers saw translations, as well as their possibilities and limits, in close relationship with other literary concepts which permeate their works. Even when their works about the theme are not systematical and it is not possible to talk about a "translation theory" in relation to these authors' works, their reflections on the translation process and the developments of the same in their fictional works, certainly produce echoes in criticism and literary theories.
