Synopsis "El Libro de los Seres Imaginarios (in Spanish)"

El nombre de este libro justificaría la inclusión del príncipe Hamlet, del punto, de la línea, de la superficie, del hipercubo, de todas las palabras genéricas y, tal vez, de cada uno de nosotros y de la divinidad. En suma, casi del universo.
A pesar de la advertencia del prólogo, esta obra, cuya primera edición se publicó en 1957 con el título Manual de Zoología Fantástica, se atiene a lo que inmediatamente sugiere la locución seres imaginarios: "los extraños seres que ha engendrado, a lo largo del tiempo y del espacio, la fantasía de los hombres". En efecto, estas páginas reúnen a más de cien criaturas provenientes tanto de las distintas culturas que han poblado el planeta a lo largo de su historia -y sus mitologías-, como de la filosofía, las religiones, los sueños de Kafka o Poe, o la inventiva de Swedenborg o Wells. Hadas, sátiros, trolls, ninfas, unicornios, minotauros, dragones, gatos, arpías, centauros, sirenas, nornas, aves, dobles, quimeras, ángeles y demonios viven en este libro representativo como pocos de la imaginación y el humor borgeanos.

View Author's Page
Jorge Luis Borges (Buenos Aires, 1899 – Geneva, 1986) was one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, noted for his originality and literary precision. His work, primarily in the genres of short stories, essays, and poetry, redefined literature in the Spanish language. Throughout his life, he cultivated unparalleled erudition, with constant references to philosophy, metafiction, labyrinths, and the infinite.

Among his most recognized works are Fictions (1944), The Aleph (1949), The Maker (1960), and The Book of Sand (1975). Although he never received the Nobel Prize, he did obtain numerous international accolades for his work. His legacy continues to be a subject of study and admiration in the literary world worldwide.

Un libro cuya reedición esperaba hace mucho. Es un placer ver cómo Borges hizo patente su conocimiento de las diversas culturas, mitos y relatos fantásticos en este volumen.
