Historia universal de la infamia

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.

'Jorge Luis Borges En su primer libro de ficciOn, Borges trabaja con biografias de ladrones y rufianes verdaderos; personajes traidores y a veces tambien heroicos.

A estos le siguen "Hombre de la esquina rosada", uno de sus relatos mAs celebrados; y "Etcetera", un testimonio de sus incontables lecturas. Relatos que juegan a falsear y alterar historias ajenas, infundidos con el puro placer de contar cuentos, Historia universal de la infamia anunciO la llegada de una voz literaria totalmente original.

  • ""In 1933 a sensationalist Argentinian newspaper employed Jorge Luis Borges to produce high-brow cultural commentary. Alongside the high-toned pieces, he also contributed these quirky blood-and-guts tales of gunslingers, gentlemanly scoundrels, evil wizards, pirates and false prophets.
