Ficciones es quiza el libro mas reconocido de Jorge Luis Borges. Entre los cuentos que se reunen aqui hay algunos de corte policial, como "La muerte y la brujula," otros sobre libros imaginarios, como "Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius," y muchos pertenecientes al genero fantastico, como "Las ruinas circulares" o "El Sur," acaso su mejor relato, en palabras del mismo autor. Esta compuesto por los libros El jardin de senderos que se bifurcan (1941) y Artificios (1944), considerados piezas fundamentales del universo borgeano.

"Probablemente el mayor escritor que haya nacido en Latinoamérica." --Roberto Bolaño
Jorge Luis Borges nació en 1899 en Buenos Aires. En 1914 se mudó con su familia a Suiza y vivió también en España, donde comenzó a publicar en distintas revistas literarias. En 1921, de regreso en Buenos Aires, participó activamente de la vida cultural del momento; fundó las revistas Prisma y Proa, y firmó el primer manifiesto ultraísta. En 1923 publicó su libro de poesía Fervor de Buenos Aires y en 1935, Historia universal de la infamia. En las décadas siguientes, su obra crece: publica diversos libros de poesía, cuento y ensayo, así como numerosos trabajos en colaboración. Fue presidente de la Sociedad Argentina de Escritores, director de la Biblioteca Nacional, miembro de la Academia Argentina de Letras, profesor universitario y conferencista. Entre los premios que obtuvo, cabe destacar el Premio Nacional de Literatura, el Formentor y el Cervantes. Considerado uno de los más importantes autores en lengua hispana de todos los tiempos, recibió el título de doctor honoris causa de las universidades de Columbia, Yale, Oxford, Michigan, Santiago de Chile, La Sorbona y Harvard. Falleció en Ginebra en 1986.
