The seventeen pieces in Ficciones demonstrate the gargantuan powers
of imagination, intelligence, and style of one of the greatest
writers of this or any other century. Borges sends us on a journey
into a compelling, bizarre, and profoundly resonant realm; we enter
the fearful sphere of Pascal’s abyss, the surreal and literal
labyrinth of books, and the iconography of eternal return. More
playful and approachable than the fictions themselves are
Borges’s Prologues, brief elucidations that offer the uninitiated
a passageway into the whirlwind of Borges’s genius and mirror the
precision and potency of his intellect and inventiveness, his
piercing irony, his skepticism, and his obsession with fantasy. To
enter the worlds in Ficciones is to enter the mind of Jorge Luis
Borges, wherein lies Heaven, Hell, and everything in between.
