«Artificios» is Jorge Luis Borges's collection of short stories, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (89 pages, in Spanish).
In «Artificios», Borges brings together tales that blur the line between the real and the fantastic: time, identity and existence become labyrinths of the mind, approached with wit and surprise.
«Artificios» was first published in 1944; this Alianza Cien edition (no. 6) dates from 1993.
A reference work for readers of short fiction and Latin American fantastic literature, and for university literature students.
Jorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges was an Argentine short-story writer, essayist, poet and translator regarded as a key figure in Spanish-language and international literature. His best-known works, Ficciones (transl. Fictions) and El Aleph, published in the 1940s, are collections of short stories exploring motifs such as dreams, labyrinths, chance, infinity, archives, mirrors, fictional writers, and mythology. Borges's works have contributed to philosophical literature and the fantasy genre, and have had a major influence on the magical realist movement in 20th century Latin American literature.
