About this title: After almost a half a century of scrupulous devotion to his art, Jorge Luis Borges personally compiled this anthology of his work--short stories, essays, poems, and brief mordant "sketches," which, in Borges's hands, take on the dimensions of a genre unique in modern letters.

"Quite necesary to keep in mind the great books that are the foundation of our culture. A great testimony of the Library of Babel, an exemple of the shelve we can find in his books, in his line, in his thought."
""Funes, The Memorious" is a story I just happened upon exactly when I happened to need it. Lovely, the chance gifts of life and the given attention to detail."
