The volume brings together the four last short stories that Jorge Luis Borges gave to the press in various publications. The story that gives the book its title deals with an inherited memory that alters identity; it is accompanied by «25 de agosto, 1983», «Tigres azules» and «La rosa de Paracelso», with the motifs of the double, madness and faith.
Published in 1998, this volume is number 12 of the Biblioteca Borges collection, within El Libro de Bolsillo de Alianza.
For readers of classic fiction and for those who want to approach the final short narrative of Jorge Luis Borges.
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.
