FICTIONS is perhaps the single most mysterious and extraordinary collection of short stories written this century. Influenced by writers as disparate as Lewis Carroll, Stevenson and Cervantes, Borges is nethertheless a complete original who can turn dry logical puzzles in to enchanting fables. The Pieces in this volume represent his most accomplished work.

Reviews for Ficciones
A blind Argentinian librarian, Borges has had incalculable influence on the literature of the world. These masterly short stories are not only beautifully crafted but also act as their own commentaries. (Kirkus UK)
