Ficciones

Borges’s Ficciones presents seventeen pieces of fiction that demonstrate his genius, reflect the precision and potency of his intellect and inventiveness, and mirror his skepticism and preoccupation with fantasy. Readers enter a compelling, bizarre, and profoundly resonant realm; they go through the fearful sphere of Pascal’s abyss, the surreal and literal labyrinth of books, and the iconography of eternal return; they come to possess Heaven and Hell from within Borges’s mind.
