Summary
The seventeen pieces in Ficciones demonstrate 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. 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. To enter the worlds in Ficciones is to enter
the mind of Jorge Luis Borges, wherein lies Heaven, Hell, and
everything in between.
