«Ficciones» is the short story collection by Jorge Luis Borges, published by Espasa in hardcover (160 pages, in Spanish).
It brings together seventeen stories that explore infinite libraries, labyrinths, dreams and intellectual games. Its pages feature titles such as «La biblioteca de Babel», «Funes el memorioso» or «El jardín de senderos que se bifurcan», where Borges combines erudition, irony and fantasy to question time, infinity and the limits of reality.
This 1999 edition is part of the ABC collection of twentieth-century narrative in the Spanish language (no. 7). The work was awarded the Formentor Prize for Letters in 1961.
For readers of classic twentieth-century fiction and of fantastical fictions with a philosophical and literary 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.
