"The work of Jorge Luis Borges is a species of international literary metaphor. He knowledgeably makes a transfer of inherited meanings from Spanish and English, French and German, and sums up a series of analogies, of confrontations, of appositions in other nations' literatures. His Argentinians act out Parisian dramas, his Central European Jews are wise in the ways of the Amazon, his Babylonians are fluent in the paradigms of Babel. Probably, withal, he is the most succinct writer of this century, and one of the most incisive as to conclusions, daring dryly to go beyond such a Mannerist master as James Joyce, who knew philology and felt legends, but eschewed meanings. Perhaps, though, his meaning is simply in the ritual tone of voice with which he suggests some eternal, unanswerable question." -Anthony Kerrigan

En Español: Una de las colecciones literarias más importantes del siglo veinte, los dieciocho cuentos contenidos en la obra Ficciones de Jorge Luis Borges invitan al lector a reexaminar sus previas suposiciones y preocupaciones relativas a la naturaleza del universo. Desde â Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertiusâ , el relato que, según muchos críticos, predijo la creación de Internet, y â Examen de la obra de Herbert Quainâ , que combina la prueba matemática con la reseña literaria, hasta â El Surâ , una amalgama de fantasía, autobiografía, y folklórica argentina (y que Borges una vez dijo que era su cuento preferido), estas Ficciones abarcan lo esencial del inimitable estilo borgesiano.

La ficcion filosofica es un genero cultivado por una larga tradicion literaria que incluye autores tan diversos como Dostoievski, Unamuno, Proust y Kundera. Se trata de una forma de escritura que, oscilando entre ensayo y narrativa, mezcla modicas cuotas de fantasia con ideas abstractas, reflexiones existenciales y terrores metafisicos. Nuestro libro tiene que ver con esta peculiar forma literaria tal como es practicada y redefinida por Jorge Luis Borges y Macedonio Fernandez. Su proposito es doble: reflexionar sobre el proyecto estetico de estos autores y arrojar luz acerca de un tipo de escritura sobre el que no existe demasiada elaboracion teorica

By common consent, the Argentinian Jorge Luis Borges (18990-1986) is one of the greatest writers to have emerged from Latin America. His finest work is "Ficciones" (1944), a collection of brilliantly-crafted, essay-like short stories. This edition, updated from the original 1976 edition by the same authors, offers a comprehensive selection of stories from the work with a full introduction, detailed notes, a generous vocabulary, bibliography, as well as chronological and other tables.

Un brillante y provocador ensayo, donde Jorge Volpi entrelaza ciencia y literatura y demuestra que todos somos ficciones y que la literatura es una de las claves de nuestra identidad individual y nuestras pasiones compartidas.¿Qué pasa en mi cerebro cuando leo una novela o un cuento?¿Cómo y cuándo aparecieron?¿Qué parte de la mente inventa las anécdotas felices o los desenlaces trágicos?¿Por qué sufrimos o gozamos con los personajes de los relatos y de qué forma nosotros, los lectores, nos transformamos en esos personajes?¿No es acaso el yo nuestra mayor invención? En este brillante y provocador ensayo, Jorge Volpi destierra la vieja idea de la ficción como entretenimiento y sostiene, por el contrario, que las novelas y los cuentos han sido esenciales para la evolución de la especie humana.Del descubrimiento de las neuronas espejo al origen de la conciencia y las emociones, y de las trampas de la memoria a loslaberintos de la inteligencia, el autor de En busca de Klingsor y No será la Tierra refrenda su voluntad de entrelazar ciencia y literatura. Al final, Leer la mente demuestra que todos somos ficciones y que la literatura es una de las claves de nuestra identidad individual y nuestras pasiones compartidas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Contrary to common belief, fiction occurs not when the first person lies, but when others, aware of the lie, choose to ignore it. Since our brain basically employs the same mechanisms when dealing with reality or when creating or understanding fiction, we can conclude that fiction has existed since the first Homo sapiens walked the Earth. This illuminating essay stems from a central hypothesis which states that if fiction is such a powerful tool in the exploration of nature, then, fiction is reality.

`Here is a handsome edition of one of Borges' ficciones, in a translation first published in Labyrinths in 1962. It's an important story in the Borges' canon, incorporating most of the author's philosophical and esthetic preoccupations in a typically brief compass. With great solemnity and a convincing array of scholarly detail (including annotated references to imaginary books and articles), Borges contocts a fable of an alternate world and its infiltration of our own. The reality of Tlon is idealist: material objects have no existence; language has no nouns; its principal discipline is psychology, since its inhabitants see the universe as nothing but a series of mental processes. A series of 24 illustrations accompanies the text. Their disturbing resemblances to our reality make them appropriate reflections of Borges's imaginative constructs.' -- The Kingston Whig-Standard
