Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 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"An event, and cause for celebration."The New York TimesA Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition with flaps and deckle-edged paper For some fifty years, in intriguing and ingenious fictions that reimagined the very form of the short storyfrom 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 MemoryJorge LuisBorges 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.
