FICTIONS is perhaps the single most mysterious and extraordinary collection of short stories written this century. Influenced by writers as disparate as Lewis Carroll, Stevenson and Cervantes, Borges is nethertheless a complete original who can turn dry logical puzzles in to enchanting fables. The Pieces in this volume represent his most accomplished work.

Jorge Luis Borges's Labyrinths is a collection of short stories and essays showcasing one of Latin America's most influential and imaginative writers. This Penguin Modern Classics edition is edited by Donald A. Yates and James E. Irby, with an introduction by James E. Irby and a preface by André Maurois.Jorge Luis Borges was a literary spellbinder whose tales of magic, mystery and murder are shot through with deep philosophical paradoxes. This collection brings together many of his stories, including the celebrated 'Library of Babel', whose infinite shelves contain every book that could ever exist, 'Funes the Memorious' the tale of a man fated never to forget a single detail of his life, and 'Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote', in which a French poet makes it his life's work to create an identical copy of Don Quixote. In later life, dogged by increasing blindness, Borges used essays and brief tantalising parables to explore the enigma of time, identity and imagination. Playful and disturbing, scholarly and seductive, his is a haunting and utterly distinctive voice.Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. A poet, critic and short story writer, he received numerous awards for his work including the 1961 International Publisher's Prize (shared with Samuel Beckett). He has a reasonable claim, along with Kafka and Joyce, to be one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century.If you enjoyed Labyrinths, you might like Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis and Other Stories, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.'His is the literature of eternity'Peter Ackroyd, The Times'One of the towering figures of literature in Spanish'James Woodall, Guardian'Probably the greatest twentieth-century author never to win the Nobel Prize'Economist

JORGE LUIS BORGES (1899-1986) är en av nittonhundratalets mest inflytelserika och mytomspunna författare. Utgivningen av Borges på svenska har varit utspridd över lång tid och förvånansvärt mycket har förblivit oöversatt. För första gången presenteras författarskapet nu på ett övergripande sätt, med ett generöst urval i tre band. Urvalet är kronologiskt och rymmer såväl skönlitterära berättelser som essäistik, lyrik och tidningsartiklar. Den här volymen innehåller texter från böckerna Att glöda för Buenos Aires, Månen mittemot, Skrivbok San Martín, Evaristo Carriego, Diskussion och Evighetens historia, samt två av hans samlingar med berättelser, Skändlighetens världshistoria och Fiktioner, i sin helhet. Redaktörer för utgåvan är Lasse Söderberg och Oscar Hemer. Översättningarna är gjorda av Lasse Söderberg, Oscar Hemer, Sun Axelsson/Marina Torres, Ingegerd Wiking och Johan Laserna.

Sex problem för don Isidro Parodi

Skickas

Don Isidro Parodi avtjänar ett 21-årigt fängelsestraff för ett brott han inte begått. Till hans cell 273 kommer personer som vill ha Parodis hjälp att lösa gåtor och problem som kräver ett extra snillrikt sinne. Länstolsdetektiven Parodi spelar i samma liga som andra mindre rörliga problemlösare -- Nero Wolfe, prins Zaleski, Sherlock Holmes bror Mycroft med flera.

Sex problem för don Isidro Parodi publicerades 1942 i Argentina. Författarna var Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) och Adolfo Bioy Casares (1914-1999). De hade träffats tio år tidigare och grundat en vänskap som skulle hålla livet ut. Bägge författarna skrev genreöverskridande och bägge lämnade betydelsefulla bidrag till den magiska realismen. Casares roman Morels uppfinning beskrevs som "perfekt" av Octavio Paz. Och Borges-beundraren Mario Vargas Llosa skrev boken Medio siglo con Borges (2020), som är en samling intervjuer med och essäer om Borges samt recensioner av hans verk. De prisades således av Nobelpristagare -- men varken Borges eller Casares erhöll själva Nobelpriset. Borges nominerades åtskilliga gånger, bland andra av Svenska PEN och Det Danske Akademi.

I Queen's Quorum, Ellery Queens deckarkanon över novellsamlingar, listas boken om Isidro Parodi som nr 96 med bokstäverna H ("Historical Significance"), Q ("Quality, in terms of literary style and originality of plot") och R ("Rarity of first edition") -- den högsta möjliga kombinationen.

Sex problem för don Isidro Parodi presenteras här för första gången på svenska, med stöd från Svenska Akademien.

The most popular anthology of Jorge Luis Borges's short stories, Fictions is a wildly original and influential collection of fantastic tales, translated from the Spanish with an afterword by Andrew Hurley in Penguin Modern Classics.Jorge Luis Borges's Fictions introduced an entirely new voice into world literature. It is here that we find the astonishing accounts of 'Funes the Memorious', the man who can forget nothing; 'Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote', who recreates Miguel de Cervantes's epic word-for-word; a society run on the basis of an all-encompassing game of chance in 'The Lottery in Babylon'; the mysterious world of 'Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius' which seems to be supplanting our own ; and the 'Library of Babel', which contains every possible book in the whole universe. Here too are the philosophical detective stories and the haunting tales of Irish revolutionaries, gaucho knife fights and dreams within dreams which proved so influential (and yet impossible to imitate). This collection was eventually to bring Borges international fame; over fifty years later, it remains endlessly intriguing.Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. A poet, critic and short story writer, he received numerous awards for his work including the 1961 International Publisher's Prize (shared with Samuel Beckett).

Borges' stories have a deceptively simple, almost laconic style. In maddeningly ingenious stories that play with the very form of the short story, Borges returns again and again to his themes: dreams, labyrinths, mirrors, infinite libraries, the manipulations of chance, gaucho knife-fighters, transparent tigers and the elusive nature of identity itself.

They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization and helped make us who we are.

“The drunkard who comes out with an absurd order, the dreamer who suddenly wakes and with his bare hands strangles the woman sleeping beside him – are they perhaps not carrying out one of the Company’s secret decisions? These silent workings, so like those of God, give rise to all manner of speculation.”The affairs of Babylon are dictated by a lottery. Discreetly administered by a mysterious and seemingly omnipotent Company, the lottery can elevate citizens to positions of wealth and power or condemn them to the most shameful punishments. Taking this fantastical conceit as its starting point, Jorge Luis Borges’s short story is a characteristically brilliant achievement – a haunting mediation on the nature of chance, paranoia and divinity.Eris Gems make available in the form of beautifully produced saddle-stitched booklets a series of outstanding short works of fiction and non-fiction.

It includes such marvellous tales as 'The Congress', 'Undr' and 'The Mirror and the Mask'. Also included are the handful of stories written right at the end of Borges' life - 'August 25, 1983', 'Blue Tigers', 'The Rose of Paracelsus' and 'Shakespeare's Memory.

Borges' first collection of stories (1935). In his writing, Borges always combined high seriousness with a wicked sense of fun. Here he reveals his delight in re-creating (or making up) colorful stories from the Orient, the Islamic world, and the Wild West, as well as his horrified fascination with knife fights, political and personal betrayal, and bloodthirsty revenge. Spark-ling with the sheer exuberant pleasure of story-telling, this collection marked the emergence of an utterly distinctive literary voice.
