«Libro de sueños» is the collection of stories and quotations about the dream world by Jorge Luis Borges, published by Alianza Editorial in its El Libro de Bolsillo series (252 pages, in Spanish).
The work brings together an anthology of dreams and nightmares from literature, history and traditions, along with texts by Borges himself. The author classifies dreams into nocturnal, diurnal and others of remote origin, offering a sample of his erudition and his fascination with that mysterious territory where consciousness, according to the quotation that opens the volume, is at once the theatre, the actors and the audience.
It belongs to the El Libro de Bolsillo series. Biblioteca de Autor. Jorge Luis Borges, number 31.
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.
