Jorge Luis Borges is one of the most famous writers of the 20th century, having largely defined the shape of modern literature. Borges’s texts—whether fictional prose, poetry, or reflections—constitute a unique intellectual game. They are full of mysteries and fantastic images whose origins must be sought in the literatures and cultures of the past. This edition includes the collections of short stories and poems *The Maker* and *August 25, 1983*, as well as the famous full interview with Borges by his collaborator and biographer, María Esther Vázquez, published in Russian for the first time.
