Since it was first published by New Directions in 1962, Labyrinths has transformed and enriched our collective imaginations, introduced new possibilities for literature, and astonished generation after generation of readers and writers. This groundbreaking collection of stories, essays, and parables still serves as a perfect introduction to Borges's imaginative universe: writing that is multilayered, paradoxical, recursive, elusive, and allusive; writing that has now come to be known as Borgesian.
For countless readers in the past decades, including Pope Francis and Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez, Umberto Eco and Ursula K. Le Guin, the stories contained in Labyrinths--The Garden of Forking Paths, The Lottery in Babylon, and The Library of Babel--introduced not only a monumental writer but a new way of thinking about literature and the modern world.
