This book is the second volume of Jorge Luis Borges' poetic work, which collects the first five books with which, from 1960, and after a long silence, he returned to make known his work in the field of lyrics: «El hacedor» (1960), «El otro, el mismo» (1964), «Para las seis cuerdas» (1965), «Elogio de la sombra» (1969) and «El oro de los tigres» (1972). Borges' poetry is characterized by its formal brilliance, conceptual precision and expressive rotundity, and runs parallel to his brilliant narrative work.
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.
