«El Aleph» is the collection of short stories by Jorge Luis Borges, published by Seix Barral in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
The stories in El Aleph explore the nature of time, infinity, identity, and reality. The title story describes a point in space that contains all other points, a metaphor for the totality and unity of the universe. Borges combines allegory, symbolism, and philosophical reflection with a sober, elegant style.
This 1983 edition is part of the Obras Maestras de la Literatura Contemporánea series.
Suitable for readers of contemporary fiction and short stories with a philosophical and metaphysical background.
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.
