More playful and approachable than the fictions themselves are Borges's Prologues, brief elucidations that offer the uninitiated a passageway into the whirlwind of Borges's genius and mirror the precision and potency of his intellect and inventiveness, his piercing irony, his skepticism, and his obsession with fantasy. To enter the worlds in Ficciones is to enter the mind of Jorge Luis Borges, wherein lies Heaven, Hell, and everything in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0802130305\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780802130303\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Borges, Jorge Luis, Kerrigan, Anthony, Bonner, Anthony\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Grove Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Feb 1994)","offer_id":45660123529413,"sku":"9780802130303","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780802130303.jpg?v=1768918456","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/ficciones","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
