The acclaimed translation of Borges s valedictory stories in its first stand-alone edition Jorge Luis Borges has been called the greatest Spanish-language writer of the twentieth century. Now Borges s remarkable last major story collection The Book of Sand is paired with a handful of writings from the very end of his life. Brilliantly translated these stories combine a direct and at times almost colloquial style coupled with Borges s signature fantastic inventiveness. Containing such marvelous tales as "The Congress " "Undr " "The Mirror and the Mask " and "The Rose of Paracelsus " this edition showcases Borges s depth of vision and superb image-conjuring power.
