  Jorge Luis Borges - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jorge Luis Borges ([ˈxɔɾ.xe ˈlwis ˈbɔɾ.xɛs]) (August 24, 1899 – June 14, 1986) was an Argentine writer who is considered to be one of the foremost writers of the 20th century.
Jorge Guillermo Borges was forced into early retirement from the legal profession owing to the same failing eyesight that would eventually afflict his son, and in 1914, the family moved to Geneva, where Borges senior was treated by a Geneva eye specialist while Borges and his sister Norah (born 1902) attended school.
Borges' works ("a writer of writers" for his extensive and insightful readings) are celebrated as a thread of Ariadne to walk the labyrinths of Philosophy and Literature and all fields of knowledge in quest of wisdom.

 [No title]
Borges' position is not simply a "coquetry", but rather the corner stone of his literary system, which resulted in a new theory of reception(3).
Borges disengaged himself from all mimesis pertaining either to reality or to literature, by replacing the principle of mimesis with the principles of simulation (in a third degree: Baudrillard 1981) and with rhizome (Deleuze and Guattari 1976)(6).
The fact that Borges' metaphysical vacuum may be labelled fantastic as a result of an antimimetic activity, playful and unstructured(10), should not be confused with the type of discourse that functions against the given order of having a transcendental effect (or a transcendental meaning) as Finné seems to suggest.

 Ficciones - Jorge Luis Borges
Much of Borges is elsewhere -- in later collections (most notably The Aleph), as well as in his poetry and his non-fiction work (see our review of his Selected Non-Fictions) -- but this handy little volume collects many of Borges' finest and most memorable creations.
Borges is a pleasure that can be hard to take in too large doses: his fictions are so dense and compact that they are best lingered over, and taking him up a few stories at a time seems preferable to plunging into the collected works.
There is also a Select Bibliography -- very select, and, as far as the "Other Books by Borges Translated into English" goes disappointingly selective (and now, with the publication of Viking's three volumes of Borges' fictions, non-fictions, and poetry, woefully out of date).
