Jorge Luis Borges

Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986) was Argentina’s best-known modern writer and one of the 20th century’s most renowned portrayers of the world of fantasy and dreams. Kuvitteellisten olentojen kirja (El libro de los seres imaginarios/The Book of Imaginary Beings) is a playful and enigmatic work presenting over a hundred strange creatures developed by the human mind over the course of history. Borges’s supreme wit and unique style make this encyclopaedia of curious beasts a delight of theme and narration.PUBLICATION DATE SEPTEMBER 2009
