Despre autor
Jorge Luis Borges a fost unul dintre cei mai importanți scriitori ai secolului al XX-lea. Romancier, poet, eseist argentinian, este faimos pentru povestirile sale fantastice, în care a unit cu măiestrie idei filozofice și metafizice cu temele clasice ale fantasticului . Adjectivul "borgezian" definește concepția despre viață ca poveste ("fiction"), ca minciună, ca operă contrafăcută, dată drept adevărată.
