Ficciones (eBook, ePUB)
eBook, ePUB
These brief Ficciones have to be read one at a time, and slowly; then they throb with uncanny and haunting power. The Atlantic Monthly
The seventeen pieces in Ficciones demonstrate the gargantuan powers of imagination, intelligence, and style of one of the greatest writers of this or any other century.
Borges sends us on a journey into a compelling, bizarre, and profoundly resonant realm; we enter the fearful sphere of Pascal's abyss, the surreal and literal labyrinth of books, and the iconography of eternal return. More playful and approachable than the fictions themselves are Borges's Prologues, brief elucidations that offer the uninitiated a passageway into the whirlwind of Borges's genius and mirror the precision and potency of his intellect and inventiveness, his piercing irony, his skepticism, and his obsession with fantasy. To enter the worlds in Ficciones is to enter the mind of Jorge Luis Borges, wherein lies Heaven, Hell, and everything in between.

Die unendliche Bibliothek
Gebundenes Buch
Seine Erzählungen gehören zum Faszinierendsten, was Jorge Luis Borges geschrieben hat. Mit Universalgeschichte der Niedertracht betrat der Erzähler Borges 1935 die literarische Bühne, Fiktionen und Das Aleph festigten seinen Ruhm. Heute ist kein Leser_innenleben denkbar ohne Die Bibliothek von Babel. Geschichten über Mörder, Betrüger, Piraten, Hochstapler oder Messerstecher stehen psychologischen Studien, phantastischen Erfindungen und literarischen Kabinettstücken von einmaliger Dichte und Farbkraft gegenüber. Realität und Fiktion fließen ineinander, mit präziser Sprache und philosophischer Tiefe erschafft Borges Labyrinthe aus Spiegeln und endlosen Verweisen. Seine Erzählungen öffnen Türen zu paradoxen Welten, in denen sich das Universum in einem Punkt, ein Leben in einem einzigen Gedanken oder ein ganzes Schicksal in einer Entscheidung verdichtet.
