Jorges luis borges (1899- 1986) is an Argentine novelist, poet and scholar. When I was young, I lived in Europe with my family and studied in Geneva and other places. 192 1 returned to Buenos Aires to engage in literary creation, and 1923 published the first book of poetry.

1935, the novel collection "Biography of Little People" came out, which attracted the attention of Argentine literary circles. The novel Garden with Bifurcated Paths published in 194 1 is his most groundbreaking work. Since then, the collection of Alef and Brody Report has become more and more perfect, and the author's unique maze novel world has been constructed with rich narrative techniques.

Borges' creative achievements are also reflected in his numerous articles on art, which is the wisdom door of classic writers in the 20th century. From evaristo Callego in his early years to Private Collection: Preface, which he collected after his death, his prose almost formed an art bible.

Borges has been a professor of literature at the University of Buenos Aires for 20 years, and also the director of the National Library of Argentina in 18. Blind in his later years, he still wrote orally.

196 1 won the Formento Award of the International Publishers Association, 1962 won the Knight Award of French Culture and Art, 1979 won the Cervantes Literature Award, and 198 1 won the Olin Award in Mexico. Jolitz Prize, 1983, awarded the Grand Cross of Alfonso X, a wise man of Spain. Borges failed to win the Nobel Prize, which is the most important literary prize. Intriguingly, several top masters in the 20th century, including Proust, Lu Xun, Joyce and Kafka, all missed the Nobel Prize.

Borges, a former director of the National Library, is a group of people who are proficient in many languages, so that they are regarded as libraries or "writers among writers". Although Borges was blind in his later years, he seemed to live more truly and completely in the world of books and words through imagination and wisdom. As he himself said, "As dreams and angels show, flying is one of the basic human desires". Therefore, some people call him "the greatest sleepwalker of the 20th century".

The translators of "Borges Works Series" are all through Borges' assistant and widow Maria? Ms. Er Yu personally read the approval;

Translator Mr. Wang Yongnian, senior translator of Xinhua News Agency, is the best Borges translator in China. He is proficient in almost all the important languages in Europe. Before the official start of translation, he translated a biography of Borges in advance to find a more accurate sense of language.

The translation has both faithfulness and elegance, which perfectly conveys Borges' "concise writing like mathematics".
