  “muy buen libro”

  “Los cuentos recopilados en esta edición, son un reto literario e histórico para el lector. Enfrentarse a ellos, sin ninguna arma, puede resultar frustrante. Borges hace alusión a diversos pasajes, referencias mitológicas, leyendas regionales y sobresalientes ubicaciones geográficas; el lector debe leerlos con una enciclopedia al calce. A pesar de que no soy un fanático del realismo mágico, realmente se aprecian los cuentos por la elaboración, trama y marco teorico de los mismos.
  Equiparé a Borges como un Joyce argentino; un escritor que reta al lector a seguirlo, a darle alcance y mantenerse a su paso... Que poco leemos...”

  “Denso...muy denso..de lo mejor de borges...juegos fantasticos de palabras y duplicidades, en el espacio y tiempo...
  Espero terminarlo pronto...”

  “It's an awesome book, believe me or not. However once I have finished reading it I have had the impression that the Master tryed to somehow diminish the importance of the Bible by using his own knowledge as a weapon for doing so. I do not know if it is right or wrong to do such a thing, in the end we are all reasponsible for the path we decided to build for others. ”

  “Siempre he creido que en la literatura hay un antes y un después de Borges. Un hombre con una capacidad de ver más allá del común de los mortales. Con ese talento único para meterse con la historia y regresarnosla en una escritura apasionante, detallada y riquísima. ”

  “I used to want to be a writer, and then I read Borges and realized I had nothing more to add.”

  “The story "El inmortal" impressed me most - and reminded once more about the fact that everything has already been said and written. But I'd recommend to read these stories with a break between them - so that you can ponder over the plot, find out the sense and enjoy the uniqueness of each of them.”
