Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Luis Borges was an Argentine writer, poet, and essayist, widely regarded as one of the most significant literary figures of the 20th century. Known for his intricate short stories and philosophical explorations of time, identity, and reality, Borges's work often reflects on themes of heroism and betrayal. His essay 'Tema del traidor y del héroe' contemplates the cyclical nature of history and the moral complexities inherent in human actions, resonating with the historical narratives of figures like Sønsteby and Quisling.
