Author: Jorge Luis Borges ISBN: 9780802130303 Binding: paperback Section: Fiction Borges sends us on a journey into a compelling, bizarre, and profoundly resonant realm; we enter t he fearful sphere of Pascal’s abyss, the surreal and literal labyrinth of books, and the iconography of eternal return. More playful and approachable than the fictions themselves are Borges’s Prologues, brief elucidations that offer the uninitiated a passageway into 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.
