## Description

Full of philosophical puzzles and supernatural surprises, this collection of stories from the influential Argentinian author contains some of his most fully realized human characters. With uncanny insight, Jorge Luis Borges 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. This anthology also contains the hauntingly brief vignettes about literary imagination and personal identity collected in The Maker , which Borges wrote as failing eyesight and public fame began to undermine his sense of self. Penguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Review: Borges is a wonderful writer - This book is most book like with printing on paper.
Review: New to Borges....better late than never. - When I was in Buenos Aires used to go to the famous cafe Borges used to frequent every morning and read a couple of his short stories. Wow wow wow! What a writer. Im ashamed to say I have only recently heard of this great man. After each story I used to go for a walk to get my mind around it. Borges took me to places i have never been before.

Incredible piece of literature that inspired generations of creatives and authors alike. JLB’s concise but vivid storytelling techniques are the ground work to thematic recollections and imaginative narrations of historic and mythical events. Highly recommend.
