desertcart.com: Ficciones / Fictions (Spanish Edition): 9780307950925: Borges, Jorge Luis: Books

Review: Beautiful, elegant - This was a great collection of short stories. Borges's elegance and form never cease to amaze when I read his stories. Many of these stories beg to be read several times as the ideas they present are so complex that the first reading isn't enough to understand them. The first book in this collection, El jardin de senderos que se bifurcan is really fantastic. In "Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius", Borges tells of a conspiracy to convince the world that another world really exists and that we have had contact with them. This conspiracy spans many generations and several centuries, and every time that a new discovery related to the made-up world appears, it comes closer to reality and existence. The story makes me want to question what is really necessary for an unknown (and possibly extinct) world to exist or have existed. Is it enough to have a written proof, or is that proof too easily manufactured? What is the difference between discovery and fabrication? Where is the line drawn? Does history only exist because we write it? Another story in this collection, "La loteria en Babilonia" reminds me of Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery", published 7 years after Borges's work. The two stories explore the role of chance in life and make one question what the nature of chance actually is. Are we really the slaves to it that we believe ourselves to be, or are we willingly subjected to its vagaries? In all, a great collection, but I preferred El jardin de senderos que se bifurcan to Artificios. It was the stronger collection, depending less on the journalistic style to tell compelling stories, and taking greater flights of fancy. But, for me, Borges is always worth reading.
Review: Masterful Narrative - Always a treat to read Borges in his native language. Among these selections there’s a good analysis on Judas, motives, sacrifice and expectations. Just masterful.

*by A***R on December 6, 2022*

Leer el libro de Borges es una tarea desafiante pero uno que vas a querer alcanzar. Aunque muchas de las obras son complejos, tienen un mensaje muy profundo y interesente que conectan al mundo real. Los cuentos te enseñan moralejas nuevas y te hacen cuestionar tus percepciones del mundo. Tambien, para alguien que todavia esta aprendiendo el español, es un libro que va a ser dificil pero va a ayudarte mucho en desarollar tus habilidades. Tendras que aceptar que no vas a entender todo y en vez enfocarte en apreciar el fluyo del cuento y los mensajes escondidos. Borges mismo es un escritor genial y muy relevante, y leer sus trabajos ouede darte un entendimiento mejor de la literatura latinoamericana.
