description: Ficciones 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 nevertheless a complete original who can turn dry logical puzzles into enchanting fables. The pieces in this volume represent his most accomplished work.
