Magical Realism

The Aleph and Other Stories 1933-1969

by Norman Thomas di Giovanni

A landmark collection of Borges's enigmatic short fictions, including "The Library of Babel," "The Garden of Forking Paths," and the title story. These cerebral labyrinths explore infinity, identity, time, and the nature of reality itself through crystalline prose that operates as both literature and metaphysics. Essential reading from one of the twentieth century's most influential writers.
