The Total Library: Non-Fiction 1922-1986 (Penguin Modern Classics)
Jorge Luis Borges
Synopsis "The Total Library: Non-Fiction 1922-1986 (Penguin Modern Classics) "
Though best known in the English speaking world for his short fictions and poems, Borges is revered in Latin America equally as an immensely prolific and beguiling writer of non-fiction prose. In "The Total Library", more than 150 of Borges' most brilliant pieces are brought together for the first time in one volume - all in superb new translations. More than a hundred of the pieces have never previously been published in English. "The Total Library" presents Borges at once as a deceptively self-effacing guide to the universe and as the inventor of a universe that is an indispensible guide to Borges.
