«Nueva antología personal» is an anthology of short stories, essays and poems by Jorge Luis Borges, published by Bruguera in hardcover (281 pages, in Spanish).
Jorge Luis Borges himself, after almost half a century of practice, selected his short stories, essays, poems and some mordant prose pieces that constitute a genre of their own. The author's recurring themes are metaphysical perplexity, the dead who endure, Germanic studies, language, the homeland and the paradoxical fate of poets.
The Bruguera edition, the first, was published in 1979 as volume 2 of the Club Bruguera collection; its ISBN-13 is 9788402067043.
The book brings together short stories, essays and poems, making it a good introduction to reading 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.
