«El Aleph» is Jorge Luis Borges's collection of short stories, published by Alianza in paperback (201 pages, in Spanish).
It brings together eighteen stories in which Borges fuses mathematical rigor, metaphysical speculation and poetic imagination: immortality, time, space and knowledge appear in pieces such as «El inmortal», «Los teólogos», «Deutsches Requiem» and «La espera», as well as the story that gives the volume its title.
The volume belongs to the Biblioteca Borges collection of El Libro de Bolsillo from Alianza.
For readers of short fiction, fantastic literature and philosophical fiction, as well as those interested in twentieth-century Argentine narrative.
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.
