Labyrinths: Selected Stories & Other Writings

by André Maurois, James E. Irby, Jorge Luis Borges
Labyrinths: Selected Stories & Other Writings
Labyrinths: Selected Stories & Other Writings

Intricate tales blending reality, philosophy, and myth.

If you appreciate stories that weave together the profound and the fantastical, Borges' "Labyrinths" won't disappoint. His mastery of interlacing metaphysical concepts with narrative will challenge your perceptions of reality. Perfect for deep thinkers and lovers of rich, symbolic literature.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Although his work has been restricted to the short story, the essay, and poetry, Jorge Luis Borges of Argentina is recognized all over the world as one of the most original and significant figures in modern literature. In his preface, Andre Maurois writes: "Borges is a great writer who has composed only little essays or short narratives. Yet they suffice for us to call him great because of their wonderful intelligence, their wealth of invention, and their tight, almost mathematical style." Labyrinths is a representative selection of Borges' writing, some forty pieces drawn from various books of his published over the years. The translations are by Harriet de Onis, Anthony Kerrigan, and others, including the editors, who have provided a biographical and critical introduction, as well as an extensive bibliography.
