A Universal History of Infamy. A Penguin book. Penguin twentieth-century classics. Author. Jorge Luis Borges. Translated by. Norman Thomas Di Giovanni. Edition.
A prolific writer of essays, short stories, and plays, Borges's concerns are perhaps clearest in his stories. He regarded people's endeavors to understand an incomprehensible world as fiction; hence, his fiction is metaphysical and based on what he called an esthetics of the intellect. Some critics have called him a mystic of the intellect.
