La traducción y las notas de Martín Hadis junto a las notables fotografías de Willis Barnstone completan en estas páginas el sensible retrato de ese misterio esencial de la literatura que conocemos como Borges. En la década final de su vida, Jorge Luis Borges emprendió una gira por los Estados Unidos con el fin de participar en una serie de diálogos organizados por varias de las universidades más prestigiosas de esa nación (Chicago, Indiana, Columbia, Boston, Harvard y el MIT). El recorrido traza una cartografía inquietante: Borges conversa sobre el sentido del universo con un astrofísico, sobre misticismo con un experto en cábala y sobre el difuso límite entre realidad y ficción con escritores y poetas. Asiste a un encuentro en el pen Club de Nueva York y concede incluso una entrevista a una personalidad televisiva: Dick Cavett. A lo largo de estos encuentros, el escritor argentino evoca sueños y pesadillas, sagas nórdicas, frases del inglés antiguo, la presencia del «otro» y el doble, y varios de sus autores favoritos, entre otros temas. El placer intelectual de la conversación lleva asimismo a Borges (por lo general, renuente a las confidencias) a revelar el significado de símbolos y tramas de varias de sus obras. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Martín Hadis' translation and notes, and Willis Barnstone's remarkable photographs, build a sensitive portrait of that essential literary mystery known as Borges. In the final years of his life, Borges toured the United States participating in a series of dialogues organized by several of the most prestigious universities in the country: Chicago, Indiana, Columbia, Boston, Harvard, and MIT. The tour draws a disturbing cartography. Borges talks about the meaning of the universe with an astrophysicist, about mysticism with a kabbalah scholar, and about the blurry line separating reality from fiction with writers and poets. He attends a meeting at the Pen Club in New York City, and even gives Dick Cavett a TV interview. Throughout these encounters, the Argentine writer evokes dreams and nightmares, refers to Nordic sagas and Old English quotes, reflects on alterity, and comments on many of his favorite authors. The intellectual pleasure of these conversations also leads to the usually reserved Borges to reveal the meaning of symbols and plots in several of his works.Shipping Notes

Great Shorts! bad zippers.
Size: 36, Color: A-dark Grey
1st off these are basically swim trunks. I like the design of the shorts and the appearance, they are very lightweight and quick drying and overall serve all of MY purposes. If you're buying them for secure front pockets that close with the zippers just don't buy them. The zippers on the front "cargo" spot of the shorts broke on the second wearing. If you have nothing better to do than try to fix them by all means they can be fixed short term and then eventually they just separate again. The pockets work fine (they are ALL mesh lined pockets) for just putting stuff in them but securing them (at least in the case of the pair i am wearing right now) isn't an option with the zippers. That said the fly itself hasn't failed me. The back pockets have ONE velcro closure on the inside so you can reach into them easily without two velcro closures to fight with which i think is a good design.

Read the review for actual product review
Size: 36, Color: A-dark Grey
I had to return ( and re order ) because the sizing as most with these non american sizes got me like man others.
Fitment was not bad, they are a bit longer than I prefer, however the issue I had was not there.
I ordered an xl I believe and the size I got was a 36, a 34 would have likly been a better fit and will try that on my re order.
As far as the material goes, they are thin, they are light, and you could use these for anything that has to do with water, even possibly swimming.
The design is not bad, they do not feel like something that you would want to be to aggressive in ie. work environment where cuts are prone as these would offer no protection at all.
As the sellers title says, ( Outdoor hiking, quick dry, travel cargo shorts, golf fishing etc. )
Leave out the whole tactical thought here. These are not tactical, they do not even need to be considered tactical at all. For those like me who are trying to find a cheaper alternative to expensive clothing for work, etc... these fit the bill, just need to figure out your proper sizing. I normally wear a 34 in pants and shorts which gives me a little room for my concealed carry, and 32 when Im not carrying. So the size 36 that I got would not be a valid option, but the 34 would / should be a more true fit.
The material, to me, it felt like and sounded like a light wind suit or windbreaker jacket.. just to give you some sort of comparison.

Nice shorts, great customer service
Three things I like about these shorts:
#1 You can see in the picture of the outside of the shorts that there is a black triangle of stretchy material at the corner of the pocket. It allows me to put something a little over-sized into the pocket without the usual uncomfortable tug.
#2 You can see in the picture of the shorts turned inside-out that there are three pockets on the left side. The pocket material is thin but really strong. When I travel I like to be able to feel what is in my pockets so I know that I still have what I should--pocket knife, keys, etc. These shorts work well in that aspect.
#3 I ordered 4 pair of these shorts in varying sizes for my sons for a family trip this summer. Two of them were not able to try the shorts on until AFTER the the Amazon return policy had expired. The Vcansion Customer Service Department did not let that get in the way of my satisfaction--they made things right when they were not obligated to do so. Kudos to them.

Not so sure Id even give it 1 Star
Size: 36, Color: A-dark Grey
Shorts - since the beginning of time, men have worn shorts. Simple and easy. But no, not here. Lets see how complicated and stupid we can make this. First off, they fit horribly. When you sit down they ride down in the back. Then there is the material. Whatever happened to cotton or some other recognizable fabric? When I walk you can hear a swish noise. 3rd, the belt they give you doesn't even fit the stupid connector. and the final straw is the latch? Cant be simple like a button or snap, its a hook the rotates, so if its not lined up right you have to fight with it to get it lined up right to connect it - ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!!? WHY NOT a snap or button - OMG the worst shorts ever. Its like what can we do to really piss people off - well ya did it.
