Maggiori informazioni sul libro
The seventeen pieces in <i>Ficciones</i> demonstrate the whirlwind of Borges's genius and mirror the precision and potency of his intellect and inventiveness, his piercing irony, his skepticism, and his obsession with fantasy. Borges sends us on a journey into a compelling, bizarre, and profoundly resonant realm; we enter the fearful sphere of Pascal's abyss, the surreal and literal labyrinth of books, and the iconography of eternal return. To enter the worlds in <i>Ficciones</i> is to enter the mind of Jorge Luis Borges, wherein lies Heaven, Hell, and everything in between.
