Description

AMS in Spanish, signed "Jorge Luis Borges," one page, 8 x 12.5, no date but likely circa 1945. An untranslated draft of the piece "Nota sobre la paz [Note on Peace]," which would be published in the magazine Sur [South], No. 129, in July 1945. Borges writes on the conclusion of World War II in Europe, making several edits to the text and adding notes at both the conclusion and upside down at the top. In fine condition, with some light staining along the extreme left edge.
