«Nueva antología personal» is the anthology of poems, short stories and essays by Jorge Luis Borges, published by Bruguera in hardback (281 pages, in Spanish).
Borges himself chose the texts for this anthology: short stories, essays and poems, plus some brief prose pieces with an incisive tone. In the prologue he argues that the writer should act as amanuensis to the Muse, not to his own opinions. Metaphysical perplexity, time, identity, the homeland and the fate of poets come to the fore.
This Bruguera edition, from 1982, corresponds to the original selection the author published in 1968.
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.
