Jorge Luis Borges - El Aleph
Originally published in 1949, El Aleph was the second collection of Borges’ short stories, many of which had appeared in various Argentine literary magazines. In many ways a “sequel” to Ficciones, the stories of El Aleph find Borges obsessed with the same philosophical themes: the relationship between consciousness and reality, the mystical significance of language and symbols, the mysteries of time and eternity, and the limits of obsession itself. Other familiar elements include copious labyrinths, reviews of fictional books, a casual mixing of reality and invention, and a return to Argentine’s colorful history of gauchos.
