Poems of the Night
A Dual-Language Edition with Parallel Text
Edited with an Introduction and Notes by
Efraín Kristal
General Editor: Suzanne Jill Levine
Revered for his magnificent works of
fiction, Jorge Luis Borges thought of
himself primarily as a poet. Poems of the
Night is a moving collection of the great
literary visionary’s poetic meditations on
nighttime, darkness, and the crepuscular
world of visions and dreams, themes that
speak implicitly to the blindness that
overtook him late in life.

reflect Borges in full maturity.

A Universal History of Iniquity
Translated with an Introduction and Notes
by Andrew Hurley
In his writing, Borges always combined
high seriousness with a wicked sense of
fun. This delightful translation of eight
invented biographies showcases the
playful genius of a literary master, where
wit, magic, and dime-novel comedy
penetrate dark plots of revenge and
betrayal.
