Collected Fictions

The definitive single-volume collection of Jorge Luis Borges's short fiction, gathering the complete contents of Ficciones and The Aleph alongside other stories. Borges invented a form of literature unlike any other: philosophical labyrinths disguised as detective tales, encyclopedias of imaginary worlds, geometries of infinity made tangible through narrative.
