Abstract
This paper seeks to shed light on the debatable authenticity of the translation of Kafka`s Metamorphosis, published –without author– in the Revista de Occidente (Madrid, 1933). This same translation was published again in Buenos Aires, in 1938, by Losada Publishing House, and in this opportunity it was attributed to Jorge Luis Borges. It was afterwards republished several times with the same attribution. Due to the fact that there are several documents regarding this issue but none of them leads to a definitive conclusion and at the same time among those unsufficient documents we can include Borges` own statements, we try here to debate on the most diverse evidences and read them form a perspective that takes into account borgians games and Borges’ concept of translation itself.Downloads
