When Colonel Mendon a discovers his wife in bed with a lover, he shoots and kills them both. Political contests, too, can be settled by gunshot... No one imagines that a bedraggled migrant worker who turns up in town-least of all Gabriela herself-will be the agent of change. Nacib Saad has just lost the cook at his popular caf and in desperation hires Gabriela. To his surprise she turns out to be a great beauty as well as a wonderful cook and an enchanting boon to his business. But what would people say if Nacib were to marry her? Lusty, satirical and full of intrigue, Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon is a vastly entertaining panorama of small town Brazilian life.

La obra po tica completa del maestro argentino en un solo volumen Adem s de extraordinario narrador y ensayista, Jorge Luis Borges fue un excelente poeta. De hecho, puede decirse que la poes a es el alma de su obra. Indisociable de sus cuentos y ensayos, estos poemas son parte indispensable del universo borgiano y constituyen una indagaci n paralela a los asuntos que siempre le apasionaron: los libros, la memoria, los laberintos, los espejos, el amor o la eternidad. De los poemas que integran esta fant stica colecci n cabe destacar "El mar", "Arte po tica", "El laberinto", "L mites" y su primer libro de poes a Fervor de Buenos Aires, entre otros muchos. Due o de un fino o do y una impresionante capacidad para crear im genes memorables, Borges revive en sus grandes poemas la intensidad que recorre la gran tradici n occidental desde Homero hasta Eliot. En palabras del propio Borges: "Ajedrez misterioso la poes a, cuyo tablero y cuyas piezas cambian como en un sue o y sobre el cual me inclinar despu s de haber muerto". "La deuda que tenemos contra da con l quienes escribimos en espa ol es enorme". --Mario Vargas Llosa ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe complete poetic work of the Argentine master gathered in one single volume. Besides being an extraordinary storyteller and essayist, Jorge Luis Borges was an excellent poet. In fact, it can be said that poetry is the soul of his work. Together with his stories and essays, these poems are an crucial part of the Borgesian universe and make up a parallel inquiry to the issues that always fascinated him: books, memory, labyrinths, mirrors, love, or eternity. Among the poems that make up this fantastic collection include "The Sea", "The Art of Poetry", "The Labyrinth", "Limits" and his first book of poetry Fervor of Buenos Aires, among many others. Having had a fine ear and an impressive capacity to create memorable images, Borges relives in his great poems the intensity that runs through the great Western traditions, from Homer to Eliot. In Borges' own words: "Poetry is a mysterious chess game, whose board and whose pieces change as if in a dream and on which I will lean after I die."

"Probablemente el mayor escritor que haya nacido en Latinoam rica."--Roberto Bola o "Pens en un laberinto de laberintos, en un sinuoso laberinto creciente que abarcara el pasado y el porvenir y que implicara de alg n modo los astros". --Jorge Luis Borges Ficciones es quiz el libro m s reconocido de Jorge Luis Borges, compuesto por los libros El jard n de senderos que se bifurcan y Artificios, ambos considerados piezas fundamentales del universo borgiano. Entre los cuentos que aqu se re nen hay algunos de corte policial como "La muerte y la br jula", la historia de un detective que investiga el asesinato de un rabino; otros sobre libros imaginarios como "Tl n, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius", una extraordinaria reflexi n sobre la literatura y su influencia en el mundo f sico; y muchos pertenecientes al g nero fant stico como "El Sur", acaso su mejor relato, en palabras del mismo autor. Fascinante y sorprendente, Ficciones le brinda al lector un mundo de reflexiones sobre las convenciones de lectura y el modo de entender la realidad. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Jorge Luis Borges has been called the greatest Spanish-language writer of our century. From Jorge Luis Borges's 1935 debut with The Universal History of Iniquity, through his immensely influential collections Ficciones and The Aleph, these enigmatic, elaborate, imaginative inventions display Borges' talent for turning fiction on its head by playing with form and genre and toying with language. Together these incomparable works comprise the perfect compendium for all those who have long loved Borges, and a superb introduction to the master's work for those who have yet to discover this singular genius.

"Uno de los artistas contempor neos m s memorables... La deuda que tenemos contra da con l quienes escribimos en espa ol es enorme". --Mario Vargas Llosa Considerado uno de los escritores m s influyentes del siglo XX en cualquier idioma, la obra de Jorge Luis Borges contin a inspirando a nuevas generaciones de lectores gracias al deslumbrante poder de sus im genes y la inmensa profundidad de sus temas. Originalmente publicada en 1949, esta colecci n re ne dieciocho relatos entre los que se encuentra algunos de los m s admirados cuentos de la literatura: "El Aleph", la cl sica historia de una resplandeciente esfera en la que confluyen de un modo asombroso todos los tiempos y todos los espacios en el universo; "El Zahir", una fascinante reflexi n sobre la obsesi n, Borges narra la historia de un objeto que inspira la fascinaci n inmediata de todos aquellos que lo ven hasta consumir su atenci n y realidad completa; y "El Inmortal", un inquietante viaje a trav s de la Ciudad de los Inmortales, un laber ntico mundo en el que todo, incluso los edificios y las escaleras, aparece ca ticamente irregular o invertido. Juntos, estos dieciocho relatos, cada uno singularmente original y complejo a su manera, representan una pieza clave en el museo de la obra del maestro argentino, as como en los anales de la literatura universal. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Full of philosophical puzzles and supernatural surprises, these stories contain some of Borges's most fully realized human characters. With uncanny insight he takes us inside the minds of an unrepentant Nazi, an imprisoned Mayan priest, fanatical Christian theologians, a woman plotting vengeance on her father's "killer," and a man awaiting his assassin in a Buenos Aires guest house. The Aleph, describes a point in space that contains all other spaces at once. The work also presents the idea of infinite time. Borges writes in the original afterword, dated May 3, 1949 (Buenos Aires), that most of the stories belong to the genre of fantasy, mentioning themes such as identity and immortality. Borges added four new stories to the collection in the 1952 edition, for which he provided a brief postscript to the afterword.
Historia Universal de la Infamia / A Universal History of Infamy
"A veces creo que los buenos lectores son cisnes aun m s tenebrosos y singulares que los buenos autores". --Jorge Luis Borges En su primer libro de ficci n, Borges trabaja con biograf as de ladrones y rufianes verdaderos; personajes traidores y a veces tambi n heroicos. Aqu est n, entre otros, Lazarus Morell, redentor de esclavos; el impostor Tom Castro, hijo perdido y encontrado; y la viuda y pirata Ching, h bil en el saqueo de altamar. A estos le siguen "Hombre de la esquina rosada", uno de sus relatos m s celebrados; y "Etc tera", un testimonio de sus incontables lecturas. Relatos que juegan a falsear y alterar historias ajenas, infundidos con el puro placer de contar cuentos, Historia universal de la infamia anunci la llegada de una voz literaria totalmente original. "No hay nadie como Borges". --The New York Times ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A Universal History of Infamy, the first of Borges' four volumes of short stories, was originally published in an Argentine newspaper of the 1930s. As well as chronicling the lives of famous or little-known villains, Borges perpetrates a literary hoax or two, a technique for which he later won acclaim. The collection also includes the popular 'Streetcorner Man', Borges' earliest short story. The volume was conceived by Borges to be no more than light entertainment. Yet after it appeared in 1935 its influences on the fiction of Latin America was so profound that its publication date bcame a landmark in the history of Latin American literature. "I love his work because every one of his pieces contains a model of the universe or an attribute of the universe . . . because his stories often take the outer form of some genre from popular literature, a form proved by long usage, which creates almost mythical structures." -Italo Calvino

"Yo vivo, yo me dejo vivir, para que Borge pueda tramar su literatura y esa literatura me justifica". --De "Borges y yo" Considerado por el mismo Borges como su libro m s personal, El hacedor explora la relaci n entre el mundo interior y exterior del artista, el misterioso espacio entre sus sue os y la vida real. Un maravilloso cruce de g neros y tem ticas, los relatos, ensayos y poemas de esta colecci n reflejan muchas de las preocupaciones centrales que recorren toda la obra borgiana. En fascinantes escritos como "Di logo sobre un di logo", "La trama", "Dreamtigers", y "Borges y yo", entre otros muchos, Borges examina la serenidad de la mente creativa, el espect culo de su figura p blica, y mira hacia el m s all el mundo eterno en el que sus libros continuar n dialogando con la literatura universal mucho despu s de que l mismo haya desaparecido. Valorado por la cr tica como una de las obras m s importantes del siglo xx, El hacedor es un extraordinario ejemplo del poder del maestro argentino, el alcance de su visi n creativa y su inagotable contribuci n a la literatura.

El cuerpo abyecto como interlocutor del poder en Trilogía sucia de La Habana de Pedro Juan Gutiérrez
En El cuerpo abyecto como interlocutor del poder, Jorge Luis Torres analiza la suciedad de los relatos de Pedro Juan Guti rrez para (de)construir la sem ntica oficialista del canon pol tico y cultural de la Naci n y (re)legitimar ―y (re)situar en la est tica del realismo sucio y del hiperrealismo― la obra de un autor marcado por la desautorizaci n literaria. Jorge Luis Torres estudia Trilog a sucia de La Habana para explicar por qu La Habana de Pedro Juan Guti rrez no se puede evocar como pasado celestial, sino que se debe (re)vivir como desecho, como poluci n, como impureza.
Decapitado (Tres subversiones performativas)
Desesperados, casi al borde del abismo, a punto de caer en el mismo centro de la deyeccion y el desencanto, los seres que pululan y se abaten en estas tres piezas de Jorge Luis Torres representan el enves de una moneda que, a pesar de la cuadratura de sus bordes, circula. Explosiva mezcla de existencialismo sartreano con desafuero genetiano. Muy inquietante la relacion entre los personajes, sostenida por una compleja mezcla entre un lenguaje elevado, poetico, filosofico, y la inclusion de terminos e insinuaciones mas cercanas a lo escatologico. Eros y Tanatos mirandose en el espejo. La historia tiende un mapa de sensualidad estilizada, abrupta, criptica, mediante la cual los personajes se crean continuamente en el marasmo desolado, apocaliptico y posnuclear en el que se encuentran. El soporte textual es poderoso, imanta y seduce sin cesar.
Venezuela, sueños y realidades. Testimonio.
La b squeda de las ra ces hist ricas se combina con una experiencia vivida, que tiene huellas profundas en lugares de permanencia y de lucha por un futuro que se construye fundamentalmente en un pasado como legado, y que se proyecta en una utop a como marco referencial para una nueva sociedad: justa, igualitaria, libre, de respeto mutuo, basada en la l gica del trabajo, en la lucha de los seres humanos, como uno m s, de los que habitamos, y que queremos seguir habitando, el planeta Tierra. Este libro, escrito a partir de un lugar en la historia y la geograf a universal, decidido por consciencia propia, Venezuela, tiene que ver con los sue os y realidades sentidas y percibidas, que se alan lo particular, lo local, como pretendida expresi n de lo universal del g nero humano.
