Summary

“He intentado, no sé con qué fortuna, la redacción de cuentos directos. No me atrevo a afirmar que son sencillos; no hay en la tierra una sola página, una sola palabra, que lo sea, ya que todas postulan el universo, cuyo más notorio atributo es la complejidad”.
 
Este volumen reúne todos los cuentos de Borges, uno de los legados más influyentes y deslumbrantes de la literatura occidental. El universo borgiano, con sus espejos, laberintos, tigres, bibliotecas, gauchos o máscaras, es ya uno de los paisajes fundamentales del siglo XX. En este libro, el verdadero libro de libros, se encuentran obras maestras como “El jardín de los senderos que se bifurcan”, “Pierre Menard, autor del Quijote”, “Funes el memorioso”, “El Sur”, “El Aleph” o “Ulrica”. Leer estos cuentos supone releer la historia de la humanidad y emprender una de las aventuras más enriquecedoras, bellas y emocionantes de todos los tiempos.
