Dreamtigers

Jorge Luis Borges

Dreamtigers has been heralded as one of the literary masterpieces of the twentieth century by Mortimer J. Adler, editor of Great Books of the Western World. It has been acknowledged by its author as his most personal work. Composed of poems, parables, and stories, sketches and apocryphal quotations, Dreamtigers at first glance appears to be a sampler—albeit a dazzling one—of the master’s work. Upon closer examination, however, the reader discovers the book to be a subtly and organically unified self-revelation.
