Jorge Luis Borges has been called the greatest Spanish-language writer of our ce
ntury. Now for the first time in English, all of Borges' dazzling fictions are g
athered into a single volume, brilliantly translated by Andrew Hurley. From his
1935 debut with" The Universal History of Iniquity," through his immensely influ
ential collections "Ficciones "and "The Aleph," these enigmatic, elaborate, imag
inative inventions display Borges' talent for turning fiction on its head by pla
ying with form and genre and toying with language. Together these incomparable w
orks comprise the perfect one-volume compendium for all those who have long love
d Borges, and a superb introduction to the master's work for those who have yet
to discover this singular genius.
