Jorge Luis Borges

Jorge Luis Borges (1899—1986), a giant in Latin American letters, wrote numerous books of poetry, fiction, and essays, and was a prodigious translator of authors  such as Kipling, Woolf, Faulkner, and Poe. He was a regular contributor to Victoria Ocampo’s journal Sur, and a frequent dinner guest of Silvina Ocampo and Bioy Casares. Over one of their legendary  conversations, the three friends came upon the idea of editing the Antología de la Literatura Fantástica, which was published in 1940.
