About this book

"La obra fundamental del maestro de la ficción contemporánea. El presente volumen incluye los textos íntegros de 'Ficciones' y 'El Aleph,' dos de sus obras narrativas más representativas, así como una selección de sus poemas y textos ensayísticos."--Amazon.com. English translation of Spanish summary: The fundamental works of the master of contemporary fiction. This volume includes the unabridged texts of 'Ficciones' and 'El Aleph,' two of his most representative narrative works, as well as a selection of his poems and essays. A beautiful, pure, and original work, written in a bare style but with the precision of a scalpel, and with great evocative power and symbolic weight.

Jorge Luis Borges

24 Aug 1899 – 14 Jun 1986

Jorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges (Buenos Aires, 24 de agosto de 1899 - Ginebra, 14 de junio de 1986), más conocido como Jorge Luis Borges, fue un destacado escritor de cuentos, poemas y ensayos argentino, extensamente considerado una figura clave tanto para la literatura en habla hispana como para la literatura universal. También fue bibliotecario, profesor, conferencista y traductor. Sus dos libros más conocidos, *Ficciones* y *El Aleph,* publicados en los años cuarenta, son recopilaciones de cuentos conectados por temas comunes de forma fantástica, como los sueños, los laberintos, las bibliotecas, los espejos, los autores ficticios y las mitologías europeas (como la griega y la nórdica)…
