by Jorge Luis Borges (Author), Gordon Brotherston (Volume Editor), Peter Hulme (Volume Editor)
By common consent, the Argentinian Jorge Luis Borges (1890-1986) is one of the greatest writers to have emerged from Latin America. His finest work is Ficciones (1944), a collection of brilliantly-crafted, essay-like short stories.
Writers responsible for the modern upsurge in Latin American narrative, like Gabriel García Márquez (Columbia, a Nobel Prize winner), Julio Cortázar (Argentina) and Carlos Fuentes (Mexico), concur in identifying Borges as an honoured predecessor. In turn, Borges' work has been a major influence for writers in English and other languages, as well as film makers among them Peter Carey, Nadine gordimer, Salman Rushdie, Umberto Eco, Italo Calvino, Michel Foucault, Jean Luc Godard, Peter Greenaway, and Bernardo Bertolucci.
