The Garden of Forking Paths by Jorge Luis Borges
Requirements: Any .ePUB reader, .27MB
Overview: The seven pieces in The Garden of Forking Paths demonstrate the gargantuan powers of imagination, intelligence, and style of one of the greatest writers of this or any other century. Borges sends us on a journey into a compelling, bizarre, and profoundly resonant realm; we enter the surreal and literal labyrinth of books and the iconography of eternal return. These ficciones 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 The Garden of Forking Paths is to enter the mind of Jorge Luis Borges, wherein lies Heaven, Hell, and everything in between.

“These brief ficciones have to be read one at a time, and slowly; then they throb with uncanny and haunting power” —The Atlantic Monthly
