15 posts | 20 read | 9 to read
Pens en un laberinto de laberintos, en un sinuoso laberinto creciente que abarcara el pasado y el porvenir y que implicara de algn modo los astros. Jorge Luis Borges Ficciones es quiz el libro ms reconocido de Jorge Luis Borges, compuesto por los libros El jardn de senderos que se bifurcan y Artificios, ambos considerados piezas fundamentales del universo borgiano. Entre los cuentos que aqu se renen hay algunos de corte policial como La muerte y la brjula, la historia de un detective que investiga el asesinato de un rabino; otros sobre libros imaginarios como Tln, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius, una extraordinaria reflexin sobre la literatura y su influencia en el mundo fsico; y muchos pertenecientes al gnero fantstico como El Sur, acaso su mejor relato, en palabras del mismo autor. Fascinante y sorprendente, Ficciones le brinda al lector un mundo de reflexiones sobre las convenciones de lectura y el modo de entender la realidad.

I haven't done a Spanish book recommendation in a while. This book is one of the best by Argentinan writer Jorge Luis Borges. He was highly knowledgeable and his writing shows it. Plus, he imagined heaven as some sort of library. #translation #latinamerica

Borges. Wow. I hadn't read him since college, and I'm sad I missed out for so long. Also, I didn't mean to take such a creepy photo...

Reading this one in #spanish, and it's been intimidating me since I bought it 6 weeks ago. But there's no better way to start it than with a delicious pisco sour! #authorsfromsamerica
