Untranslated Lit: Historia Universal de la Infamia



Historia Universal de la Infamia (1935) is a collection of short-stories by Jorge Luis Borges. The settings range for North to South America, from Persia to the Far East. This is a book about men, adventures in exotic locations, things that could have had happened in history but most probably only did in Borges' rich imagination. This book is probably easier to read than The Aleph or Ficciones, nontheless it is just as imaginative and literary worthy.
