Collected Fictions

About the Book

The first complete collection of stories by one of the great masters of 20th-century literature, from his 1935 debut with "The Universal History of Iniquity" to his bestselling novels of the 1980s.

Jorge Luis Borges has been called the greatest Spanish-language writer of our century. Now for the first time in English, all of Borges's dazzling fictions are gathered into a single volume, brilliantly translated by Andrew Hurley.

From his 1935 debut with The Universal History of Iniquity, through his immensely influential collections Ficciones and The Aleph, these enigmatic, elaborate, imaginative inventions display Borges's talent for turning fiction on its head by playing with form and genre and toying with language. Together these incomparable works comprise the perfect one-volume compendium for all those who have long loved Borges, and a superb introduction to the master's work for those who have yet to discover this singular genius.
