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. 144 pp. 978-0-14-310600-5 $15.00 The Sonnets A Dual-Language Edition with Parallel Text Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Stephen Kessler General Editor: Suzanne Jill Levine This landmark collection brings together—for the first time in any language—all of Borges’s sonnets, in translations by Edith Grossman, Stephen Kessler, Willis Barnstone, John Updike, Mark Strand, and other distinguished translators. More intimate and personally revealing than his fiction, the sonnets reflect Borges in full maturity. 304 pp. 978-0-14-310601-2 $18.00 30 Penguin ClassiCs 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.
