"Two books by Jorge Luis Borges dating from 1941 and 1944 are brought together in Ficciones. «The garden of bifurcan paths» includes eight stories, among which two short narratives of exceptional quality should be highlighted: «Pierre Menard, author of Don Quixote» and «The Library of Babel». "Artificios" is made up of nine stories, including "Death and the compass" (story of a tortuous revenge), "Funes el memorioso" (a long metaphor of insomnia) and "El Sur" ("perhaps my best story", in the author's words)."
