"Pens� en un laberinto de laberintos, en un sinuoso laberinto creciente que abarcara el pasado y el porvenir y que implicara de alg�n modo los astros". --Jorge Luis Borges

Ficciones es quiz� el libro m�s reconocido de Jorge Luis Borges, compuesto por los libros El jard�n de senderos que se bifurcan y Artificios, ambos considerados piezas fundamentales del universo borgiano. Entre los cuentos que aqu� se re�nen hay algunos de corte policial como "La muerte y la br�jula", la historia de un detective que investiga el asesinato de un rabino; otros sobre libros imaginarios como "Tl�n, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius", una extraordinaria reflexi�n sobre la literatura y su influencia en el mundo f�sico; y muchos pertenecientes al g�nero fant�stico como "El Sur", acaso su mejor relato, en palabras del mismo autor.

Fascinante y sorprendente, Ficciones le brinda al lector un mundo de reflexiones sobre las convenciones de lectura y el modo de entender la realidad.

Review:

"Probablemente el mayor escritor que haya nacido en Latinoam�rica". --Roberto Bola�o

From Jorge Luis Borgess 1935 debut with The Universal History of Iniquity, through his immensely influential collections Ficciones and The Aleph, these enigmatic, elaborate, imaginative inventions display Borges' talent for turning fiction on its head by playing with form and genre and toying with language. Together these incomparable works comprise the perfect 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. First published in 1945, his "Ficciones" compressed several centuries' worth of philosophy and poetry into 17 tiny, unclassifiable pieces of prose. Borges offered up diabolical tigers, imaginary encyclopedias, ontological detective stories, and scholarly commentaries on nonexistent books, and in the process exploded all previous notions of genre.
