Summary
«Uno de los gigantes de la literatura del siglo XX, Borges ha enriquecido enormemente las texturas del vocabulario propio de nuestras fantasías y especulaciones». —Ian McEwan
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A tribute to medieval bestiaries, The Book of Imaginary Beings is a collection of fantastic animals in which fable and metaphysical reflection combine. With irony, erudition, and intelligence, Jorge Luis Borges brings the reader to the historical corridors of imagination, revealing unusual beings that range from the Greek hippogriff (part eagle, part lion, and part serpent) to a formless monster Kafka dreamed of. This extraordinary journey through literature is also an exploration of humanity’s obsessions, fears and longings.
