Labyrinths

Labyrinths is a widely read English selection of Borges's stories, essays and parables, edited by Donald Yates and James Irby. It includes famous stories about imaginary worlds, endless libraries, memory, forking paths and the tangled nature of time, together with essays on paradox, literature and philosophy. The book brought Borges to many English readers in the 1960s and remains a favorite introduction to his unusual mix of fiction and ideas.
