Pense en un laberinto de laberintos, en un sinuoso laberinto creciente que abarcara el pasado y el porvenir y que implicara de algun modo los astros . Jorge Luis Borges
Ficciones es quiza el libro mas reconocido de Jorge Luis Borges, compuesto por los libros El jardin de senderos que se bifurcan y Artificios, ambos considerados piezas fundamentales del universo borgiano. Entre los cuentos que aqui se reunen hay algunos de corte policial como La muerte y la brujula, la historia de un detective que investiga el asesinato de un rabino; otros sobre...

"A veces creo que los buenos lectores son cisnes aun mas tenebrosos y singulares que los buenos autores." --Jorge Luis Borges En su primer libro de ficcion, Borges trabaja con biografias de ladrones y rufianes verdaderos; personajes traidores y a veces tambien heroicos. Aqui estan, entre otros, Lazarus Morell, redentor de esclavos; el impostor Tom Castro, hijo perdido y encontrado; y la viuda y pirata Ching, habil en el saqueo de altamar. A estos le siguen "Hombre de la esquina rosada," uno de sus relatos mas celebrados; y "Etcetera," un testimonio de sus incontables...

In 1971, Jorge Luis Borges was invited to preside over a series of seminars on his writing at Columbia University. This book is a record of those seminars, which took the form of informal discussions between Borges, Norman Thomas di Giovanni--his editor and translator, Frank MacShane--then head of the writing program at Columbia, and the students. Borges's prose, poetry, and translations are handled separately and the book is divided accordingly.
The prose seminar is based on a line-by-line discussion of one of Borges's most distinctive...

"Yo vivo, yo me dejo vivir, para que Borge pueda tramar su literatura y esa literatura me justifica." --De "Borges y yo" Considerado por el mismo Borges como su libro mas personal, El hacedor explora la relacion entre el mundo interior y exterior del artista, el misterioso espacio entre sus suenos y la vida real. Un maravilloso cruce de generos y tematicas, los relatos, ensayos y poemas de esta coleccion reflejan muchas de las preocupaciones centrales que recorren toda la obra borgiana. En fascinantes escritos como "Dialogo sobre un dialogo," "La trama," "Dreamtigers," y...

Writing forHarper s magazine, Edgardo Krebs describes Professor Borges: A compilation of the twenty-five lectures Borges gave in 1966 at the University of Buenos Aires, where he taught English literature. Starting with the Vikings kennings and Beowulf and ending with Stevenson and Oscar Wilde, the book traverses a landscape of precursors, cross-cultural borrowings, and genres of expression, all connected by Borges into a vast interpretive web. This is the most surprising and useful of Borges s works to have appeared posthumously. "

Buddhism, love, Henry James, and the tango are just a few of the topics Jorge Luis Borges, Argentina's master writer, and extraordinary conversationalist, discusses in the first volume of the remarkable new series, Conversations. The eighty-four-year-old blind man's wit is unending and results in lively and insightful discussions that configure a loose autobiography of a subtle, teasing mind. Borges's favorite concepts, such as time and dreaming, are touched upon, but these dialogues are not a true memoir, they are unrestricted conversations about life at present. The Argentine...
