Borges'first collection of stories (1935). In his writing,Borges always combined high seriousness with a wicked sense of fun. Here he reveals his delight in re-creating (or making up) colorful stories from the Orient,the Islamic world,and the Wild West,as well as his horrified fascination with knife fights,political and personal betrayal,and bloodthirsty revenge. Spark-ling with the sheer exuberant pleasure of story-telling,this collection marked the emergence of an utterly distinctive literary voice.
