书籍介绍
Jorge Luis Borges has been called the greatest Spanish-language writer of our century. Now for the first time in English, all of Borges' dazzling fictions are gathered into a single volume, brilliantly translated by Andrew Hurley.

Together these incomparable works comprise the perfect one-volume compendium all those who have long loved Borges, and a superb introduction to the master's work for those who have yet to discover this singular genius.

博尔赫斯说了我要说的某些话,就如他自己说的,读者就是作者。每次我读到一些似曾相识的句子,就证明在恢复自己的记忆了。人看不到他不理解的东西,阅读一本书,就是在探索自己的理解范围,好书一遍一遍的看,读者就渐渐接近作者了。
短篇小说许多为大师之作呀...
