«Ficções» is the collection of short stories by Jorge Luis Borges, published in Portuguese by Abril Controljornal in 2000, in hardback, with 124 pages.
The work brings together short stories and brief pieces in which reality multiplies into invented worlds and language becomes a labyrinth. Borges explores libraries of unwritten books, paradoxes of time, identity and knowledge, blending philosophy, fantasy and erudition in precise, suggestive prose.
The work was originally published in 1944 as «Ficciones»; this Portuguese edition uses the translation by José Colaço Barreiros and belongs to the Biblioteca Visão collection (Colecção Novis).
For readers of short fiction, fantastic literature and philosophical fiction, as well as for those who want to discover a central author of twentieth-century narrative.
Twentieth-century Argentine writer, master of the short story and the speculative essay, author of Ficciones and The Aleph.
