Borges : Collected Fictions

There's nothing to dislike ! What's to dislike about J.L.Borges ? A master craftsman at work - and what an edifice he did build ! The book is beautifully crafted, soft creamy paper, classy cover, and superbly bound. Absolutely smashing ! A pleasure to feel, hold and read. If you want to read something unusual, and are willing to put in time and concentration, Borges is your man !

Roberto Bolaño summed it the best when he said if he could read just one book for the rest of his life it is this.As far as the deluxe edition is concerned, the best paperback, as good as Everyman Library is in hardbacks, french flap cover, deckle edged quality thick pages. Read it through once and no creases or damage to the spine etcBought it for Rs 770 worth even if you get it at the MRP of Rs 1299.(What weird rotation of the photos though :p)

Being able to find a good copy of Borges' anthologies is a beautiful feeling. I have mostly read him in libraries or via ecopies cause the books mostly tend to be expensive. But this was nice. I bought two, for gifting purposes. Recommend.

This edition brings together all the fictions of Borges. My personal favorite is 'The Book of Sand'. You need to forget about the 'natural' and delve into the labyrinth created by the master. You will not read this book; you will live it. The book looks beautiful too with its deckle-edged pages and french flap covers. Also, do read Cortazar and Stanislaw Lem if you like this.Instagram: perfect_zoltar (where I talk about more books)

Enticing stories by Borges.

Timely delivery but not so good quality paper of the book. The content by its own merit is a classic. If one has enough exposure to different walks of literature then perhaps it will be enjoyable. In short this beast is for serious reader. A casual reader shouldn't dare to touch it.

The copy has a different kind of paper and cutting, but it's all good when you start reading it. Lots of helpful notes

A really good book, 11/10The product was delivered before time.

This paperback is in decent shape (smaller print than I expected but then my eyes have changed...). Book arrived on time and well packed.

I am listening to this in the Spanish language on Audible and following along at the same time with Andrew Hurley's paper back English translation. This paperback is very high quality in terms of its paper and its binding. It deserves a permanent place on bookshelves. I notice that Andrew Hurley's translation includes a short story "The Approach of Al-Mu'tasim" that is omitted from the Audible Spanish version. I think it's a good use of time to read every short story in this book, slowly, and at a rate of about one short story every two or three days. Jorge Luis Borges is very special, but he is not the easiest author to read. I think it's worth the effort. Andrew Hurley has done the world of English readers a great service by translating this book from Spanish. I hope one day someone will care enough to convert this paperback book into Kindle format.

El contenido del libro es excelente. Sin embargo, el corte de las páginas de mala calidad.

Excellent product and delivery very pleased

Perfekt, Danke
