Aleph
Aleph, seventeen fantastic stories with an epilogue, by Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986), along with the famous collection Ficcones (Fictions), is the most important book of stories in the oeuvre of this great Argentine writer.
The book is titled after the final story: El Aleph. In it, with a combination of superior intellectual humor and oneiric fantasy, the fate of an insignificant writer is described to whom fate grants a unique grace, i.e. to see a vision of Aleph - the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet - in which, in complete simultaneity, the changes of the entire universe are mirrored. Critics suggest that this is an ironic paraphrase of Dante's Inferno. Opposite it is the story of Zahir, about a man (Borges) who, little by little, becomes obsessed with the image of a nickel coin until, in the end, it squeezes out of his mind every other detail that encompasses the universe. These and other stories included this book in the very top of world fiction.
