First published in 1945, his "Ficciones" compressed several centuries' worth of philosophy and poetry into 17 tiny, unclassifiable pieces of prose. Borges offered up diabolical tigers, imaginary encyclopedias, ontological detective stories, and scholarly commentaries on nonexistent books, and in the process exploded all previous notions of genre.
Unamuno expressed the anguish of modern man in his passionate concept of the Tragic Sense of life, the continual struggle within the 'man of flesh and blood' between the dictates of reason and the demands of his own heart. This book is his acknowledged masterpiece.
