β Scribed by Jorge Luis Borges
No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Full of philosophical puzzles and supernatural surprises, these stories contain some of Borges's most fully realized human characters. With uncanny insight, he takes us inside the minds of an unrepentant Nazi, an imprisoned Mayan priest, fanatical Christian theologians, a woman plotting vengeance on her fatherβs βkiller,β and a man awaiting his assassin in a Buenos Aires guest house. This volume also contains the hauntingly brief vignettes about literary imagination and personal identity collected inThe Maker, which Borges wrote as failing eyesight and public fame began to undermine his sense of self.
