The Aleph and Other Stories Jorge Luis Borges Paperback

Description: Title: The Aleph and Other Stories Author: Borges, Jorge Luis Publisher: Penguin Group Binding: Paperback Pages: 224 Dimensions: 7.75h x 5.00w x 0.50d Product Weight: 0.39 lbs. Language: English ISBN: 9780142437889 Full of philosophical puzzles and supernatural surprises, these stories contain some of Borges's most fully realized human characters. With uncanny insight he takes us inside the minds of an unrepentant Nazi, an imprisoned Mayan priest, fanatical Christian theologians, a woman plotting vengeance on her father's "killer," and a man awaiting his assassin in a Buenos Aires guest house. This volume also contains the hauntingly brief vignettes about literary imagination and personal identity collected in The Maker, which Borges wrote as failing eyesight and public fame began to undermine his sense of self.
