This paper explores the presence of Jorge Luis Borges´ literature in García Márquez´s novel. It starts with a mention of some of the essays that, among the prolific literature about these authors, analyze commonalities between Borges´works and García Márquez´s novel. Then, it focuses in the textual analysis and meaning of four topics that, while considered recurrent Borges´s themes, are used by the Colombian writer: 1) The fantastic invention of an “Aleph” (a kind of magical lens through which all scenes around the world can be seen in one instant) 2) The search for a totalizing language, 3) Memory, oblivion and their relations with the creation of languages; 4) Dreams and insomnia as paths of analysis of notions such as infinite, repetitions and death. Key Words: presence, Aleph, language, memory, dreams, infinite.
