«Prólogos de la Biblioteca de Babel» is a collection of prologues and essays by Jorge Luis Borges, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback.
It brings together the prologues Borges wrote for «La Biblioteca di Babele», a collection promoted with Franco Maria Ricci and dedicated to fantastic literature. In them, Borges treats literature, philosophy and metafiction as inseparable territories, and writes pieces that read as literary texts in their own right.
The original publication of these prologues dates from 1975. This Alianza edition belongs to the Biblioteca Borges collection.
For readers of Borges and literary essays interested in introductory texts that combine erudition and fantastic literature.
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.
