"A new, commemorative edition by the Real Academia Española and the ASALE that includes the best of Jorge Luis Borges’s work.

The fundamental works of the master of contemporary fiction. This volume includes the unabridged texts of Ficciones and El Aleph, two of his most representative narrative works, as well as a selection of his poems and essays. A beautiful, pure, and original work, written in a bare style but with the precision of a scalpel, and with great evocative power and symbolic weight.

In addition to the author's text as well as a bibliography and glossary, several essay on his work are present: "Jorge Luis Borges, escritor argentino" by Teodosio Fernández; "Borges ensayista: la ética de un lector inocente" by Alberto Giordano; "Borges, el tiempo y la lógica del asombro" by Darío González; "Fulgores y regresos: borgíastica" by Noé Jitrik; "Borges y la poesía" by Santiago Sylvester; "Borges: la opción por la brevedad" by Graciela Tomassini; "Jorges Luis Borges: guía biobibliográfica"; "Los manuscritos de Borges" by Víctor Aizenman; "Esta edición" by José Luis Moure.
