Introduction
En Español: Una de las colecciones literarias más importantes del siglo veinte, los dieciocho cuentos contenidos en la obra Ficciones de Jorge Luis Borges invitan al lector a reexaminar sus previas suposiciones y preocupaciones relativas a la naturaleza del universo. Desde ?Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius?, el relato que, según muchos críticos, predijo la creación de Internet, y ?Examen de la obra de Herbert Quain?, que combina la prueba matemática con la reseña literaria, hasta ?El Sur?, una amalgama de fantasía, autobiografía, y folklórica argentina (y que Borges una vez dijo que era su cuento preferido), estas Ficciones abarcan lo esencial del inimitable estilo borgesiano.
In English: One of the most important literary collections of the 20th Century, the eighteen stories contained in Borges? Ficciones invite the reader to reexamine his or her previously held assumptions and concerns about the nature of the universe. From ?Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius,? a story that many critics believe foretold the creation of the Internet, and ?A Survey of the Works of Herbert Quain,? which synthesizes mathematical proof with literary review, to ?The South,? an amalgamation of fantasy, autobiography, and Argentine folklore (and which Borges once said was his favorite of his own stories) these Ficciones encompass the essential elements of the inimitable Borgesian style.
