Synopsis "Collected Fictions"

For the first time in English, all the fiction by the writer who has been called "the greatest Spanish-language writer of our century" collected in a single volume A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition From Jorge Luis Borges's 1935 debut with The Universal History of Iniquity, through his immensely influential collections Ficciones and The Aleph, these enigmatic, elaborate, imaginative inventions display his talent for turning fiction on its head by playing with form and genre and toying with language. Together these incomparable works comprise the perfect one-volume compendium for all those who have long loved Borges, and a superb introduction to the master's work for those who have yet to discover this singular genius.

Jorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges (Buenos Aires, 24 de agosto de 1899 - Ginebra, 14 de junio de 1986) fue un escritor, poeta, ensayista y traductor argentino, extensamente considerado una figura clave tanto para la literatura en habla hispana como para la literatura universal.

Sus dos libros más conocidos, Ficciones y El Aleph, publicados en los años cuarenta, son recopilaciones de cuentos conectados por temas comunes como los sueños, los laberintos, las bibliotecas, los espejos, los autores ficticios y las mitologías europeas; sus argumentos exploran ideas filosóficas relacionadas, por ejemplo, con la memoria, la eternidad, la posmodernidad y la metaficción.

La obra de Borges ha contribuido ampliamente a la literatura filosófica, al género fantástico y al posestructuralismo, e influyó profundamente en el realismo mágico de la literatura latinoamericana durante el siglo XX.
