Beschreibung
Handpicked works from the greatest Argentinian writer of the twentieth century. ';Without Borges the modern Latin American novel simply would not exist' (Carlos Fuentes, author and diplomat). After almost a half a century of scrupulous devotion to his art, Jorge Luis Borges personally compiled this anthology of his workshort stories, essays, poems, and brief mordant ';sketches,' which, in Borges's hands, take on the dimensions of a genre unique in modern letters. In this anthology, the author has put together those pieces on which he would like his reputation to rest; they are not arranged chronologically, but with an eye to their ';sympathies and differences.' A Personal Anthology, therefore, is not merely a collection, but a new composition. ';An important work, by far the best yet available to the reader... who seeks a representative sampling of the great Argentine writer... the standard introduction to Borges in England and the United States.'
