Though best known in the English speaking world for his short fictions and poems, Borges is revered in Latin America equally as an immensely prolific and beguiling writer of non-fiction prose. In "The Total Library", more than 150 of Borges most brilliant pieces are brought together for the first time in one volume - all in superb new translations. More than a hundred of the pieces have never previously been published in English. "The Total Library" presents Borges at once as a deceptively self-effacing guide to the universe and as the inventor of a universe that is an indispensible guide to Borges.
Although Borges is famous for his short stories and poems in the English world, he is also respected in Latin America. He is a productive and fascinating non fiction prose writer. In "the total library", more than 150 of Borgess most outstanding works were collected in one book for the first time - all of them were beautifully newly translated. More than 100 works have never been published in English before. At the same time, the "general library" presents Borges as a seemingly modest cosmic guide and an inventor of the universe, which is an indispensable guide for Borges.
