For some fifty years, in intriguing and ingenious fictions that reimagined the very form of the short story—from his 1935 debut with A Universal History of Iniquity through his immensely influential collections Ficciones and The Aleph, the enigmatic prose poems of The Maker, up to his final work in the 1980s, Shakespeare’s Memory—Jorge Luis Borges returned again and again to his celebrated themes: dreams, duels, labyrinths, mirrors, infinite libraries, the manipulations of chance, gauchos, knife fighters, tigers, and the elusive nature of identity itself.

The groundbreaking trans-genre work of Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) has been insinuating itself into the structure, stance, and very breath of world literature for well over half a century. Multi-layered, self-referential, elusive, and allusive writing is now frequently labelled Borgesian.

Ficciones es posiblemente la obra más reconocida de Jorge Luis Borges y un hito en la historia de la literatura. Aquí se encuentran lo policiaco («La muerte y la brújula») y lo fantástico («La lotería en Babilonia»), lo irreal («Las ruinas circulares») y lo imaginario («Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius»), el que Borges consideró acaso su mejor cuento («El Sur») y uno de los comienzos más cautivadores de un relato jamás escrito («Nadie lo vio desembarcar en la unánime noche»).Cada uno de los dieciséis cuentos reunidos en este libro es, en sí, pieza fundacional y celebración del universo borgeano.

From his 1935 debut with "The Universal History of Iniquity", through his immensely influential collections Ficciones and The Aleph, these enigmatic, elaborate, imaginative inventions display Borges' talent for turning fiction on its head by playing with form and genre and toying with language.

Full of philosophical puzzles and supernatural surprises, these stories contain some of Borges’s most fully realized human characters. With uncanny insight he takes us inside the minds of an unrepentant Nazi, an imprisoned Mayan priest, fanatical Christian theologians, a woman plotting vengeance on her father’s “killer,” and a man awaiting his assassin in a Buenos Aires guest house.

El Aleph es un libro icónico de Jorge Luis Borges, el gran autor argentino admirado por García Márquez, Vargas Llosa, Banville y tantos otros escritores contemporáneos. Los cuentos que lo integran son un prodigio de puzles filosóficos, intrigas fantásticas o policíacas y personajes que se graban en la memoria, como Emma Zunz.

En «El otro», el propio Borges se encuentra con su alter ego. «Ulrica» -su único relato de amor- cuenta la historia de un enamoramiento en apariencia efímero. «El Congreso» describe una empresa tan vasta que se confunde con el cosmos. «Undr» y «El espejo y la máscara» imaginan literaturas que constan de una sola palabra. «El libro de arena», en cambio, se centra en un volumen de incalculables hojas, monstruoso, que anida en la Biblioteca Nacional de Buenos Aires: sin principio ni fin, infinito y eterno como toda la obra borgeana.

Though universally acclaimed for his dazzling fictions, Jorge Luis Borges always considered himself first and foremost a poet. This new bilingual selection brings together some two hundred poems, including scores of poems never previously translated. Edited by Alexander Coleman, it draws from a lifetime's work--from Borges's first published volume of verse, Fervor de Buenos Aires (1923), to his final work, Los conjurados, published just a year before his death in 1986.

Delve into the labyrinth of Jorge Luis Borges’s thoughts on the theory and practice of literature, and learn from one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century not only what a writer does but also what a writer is. For the first time ever, here is a volume that brings together Borges’s wide-ranging reflections on writers, on the canon, on the craft of fiction and poetry, and on translation—an ars poetica of one of the twentieth century’s greatest writers.

Als Orlando nach einer ausschweifenden Feierlichkeit am Hofe des türkischen Sultans aus einem langen und erholsamen Schlaf erwacht, lässt es sich nicht leugnen: Die Tage seiner Männlichkeit sind gezählt, in der Nacht ist er zur Frau geworden. Orlando nimmt es, wie es kommt, und reist fortan ewig jugendlich durch die Weltgeschichte. Dabei trifft er auf die großen Dichter und Denker verschiedener Epochen. Was Virginia Woolf mit "Orlando" vorlegte, ist ein spielerischer Ritt durch die literarischen Genres, ein satirisches, sprachgewaltiges, feministisch angehauchtes Vergnügen.

Se reúnen por primera vez en su solo volumen los textos Inquisiciones y Otras inquisiciones, que abren algunos de los temas que serán recurrentes en la estética del autor. Este feliz volumen, inédito como tal hasta hoy, se compone de dos libros dados a imprenta con más de un cuarto de siglo de diferencia, la que separa 1925 de 1952. No obstante, sus ensayos pertenecen a un mismo diálogo, el de Borges con la historia literaria, el del lector con el escritor.

Jorge Luis Borges immersed himself and his readers in metaphysical fantasies—playing reason against faith, belief against logic. His profound knowledge of eastern religions was an endless source of inspiration for his writing. On Mysticism—edited by Borges’s widow, Maria Kodama—brings together a stunning group of prose pieces and poems that speak to this signature theme of his writing, from some of his most celebrated works to others that appear here in English for the first time.

Most known for his creative fictions that tackle literary questions of authorship as well as more philosophical notions such as multiverse theory, Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges has captivated scholars from a variety of disciplines since his emergence on the international scene. However, much of the scholarship surrounding Borges does not focus on the reception of Borges's works in the fields of philosophy, the visual arts, film, political science, media theory, mathematics, and law, nor does it consider how his affiliations and interests changed over the course of his long life.

En El hacedor confluyen las simbologías de Oriente y Occidente, el cosmos y las cosmogonías, los siglos, las dinastías, lo universal y lo profundamente local: Heráclito, Homero, Dante con Rosas, Facundo y Juan Muraña. Tal diversidad de temas se corresponde con una multiplicidad de géneros. Así, los relatos, poemas y ensayos de estas páginas terminan configurando uno de los libros más personales del autor; una miscelánea que da cuenta de las preocupaciones que recorren toda la obra borgiana.

Un legado invaluable que nos invita a seguir leyendo, escribiendo y soñando Este libro constituye un acto de gratitud intelectual, una muestra de deslumbramiento —producto de una fervorosa lectura de sus libros—, pero sobre todo es una invitación a acercarse al autor latinoamericano más universal.

Quattordici racconti che è costruiscono un labirinto stratificato, dove la realtà non è mai reale e tutto è il contrario di tutto.

Ritroviamo in questo libro i temi prediletti da Borges: la metafisica, la morte e l'immortalità, i labirinti, l'infinito.
