Jorge Luis Borges is one of the most famous writers of the twentieth century, having largely defined the face of modern literature. World fame came to him after the publication of his fictional prose—amazing stories that blur 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 this task.
