«El libro de los seres imaginarios» is the fantastic bestiary by Jorge Luis Borges with Margarita Guerrero, in paperback (245 pages).
A catalogue-like work that brings together mythical creatures and fantastic animals from various mythologies and literatures. Borges and Guerrero present them with brief comments combining erudition, humour and an imaginative gaze, making the whole an unusual universal bestiary.

Recommended for readers of Borges and for those who enjoy mythology, bestiaries and the repertoire of fantastic creatures.
Jorge Francisco Isidoro Luis Borges was an Argentine short-story writer, essayist, poet and translator regarded as a key figure in Spanish-language and international literature. His best-known works, Ficciones (transl. Fictions) and El Aleph, published in the 1940s, are collections of short stories exploring motifs such as dreams, labyrinths, chance, infinity, archives, mirrors, fictional writers, and mythology. Borges's works have contributed to philosophical literature and the fantasy genre, and have had a major influence on the magical realist movement in 20th century Latin American literature.
