Summary: Born in Buenos Aires, Borges later moved with his family to Switzerland in 1914, where he studied at the Collg̈e de Genv̈e. The family travelled widely in Europe, including Spain. On his return to Argentina in 1921, Borges began publishing his poems and essays in surrealist literary journals. He also worked as a librarian and public lecturer.[5] In 1955, he was appointed director of the National Public Library and professor of English Literature at the University of Buenos Aires.
