Jorge Luis Borges is one of the most famous writers of the 20th century, who largely determined the shape of modern literature. World fame came to him after the publication of fiction, amazing stories that blurred the line between fiction and truth, history and imagination, literary text and the universe around us. However, language for Borges was “a way of ordering the mysterious abundance of the world,” and it is not surprising that poetry, in his opinion, was best suited to cope with this task. As the author wrote, “all poetry is a mystery; and no one knows for sure what he is destined to write.” Although what did he call poetry and what did he call prose? In the case of the great Borges, this line is very blurred. This unique publication is the first complete collection of the “poetic” works of Jorge Luis Borges in Russia, compiled by the author in his declining years. It included thirteen collections, the first of which was published by Borges at the age of twenty-four at his own expense in a circulation of 300 copies (“The Heat of Buenos Aires”), and the last one a year before his death (“Bail”). Many texts are published in Russian for the first time. The publishing design is preserved in PDF A4 format.
