Near Fine, [PU: Buenos Aires Kier], In-4º. 159pp. The first edition of this book, written by Jorge Luis Borges with the collaboration of Margarita Guerrero, appeared under the title Manual de Zoología Fantástica (Fondo de Cultura Económica, Mexico, 1957). It was translated into Italian, Manuale di Zoologia Fantastica (Giulio Einaudi, Turin, 1962); to German, Einhorn, Sphinx und Salamander. Ein Handbuch der Phantastichem Zoologie (Carl Hanser, Munich, 1964); and to the French, Manuel de Zoologie Fantastique (Juilliard, Paris, 1965). It was expanded and published again in Spanish with the title of The Book of Imaginary Beings (Kier, Buenos Aires, 1967), and translated into English, The Book of Imaginary Beings (EP Dutton, New York, 1969, and Jonathan Cape, London , 1970). He also appeared in Japanese (Shobun Sha, Tokyo, 1974). It will be published in Portuguese (Globo, Porto Alegre, Brazil). Borges makes a collection of strange beings that have emerged from human invention. It can be identified that, despite time and space, sometimes several cultures or men share recurrent and very similar ideas about certain imaginary creatures, most likely because these are usually the product of dreams, desires and fears that we have shared since the beginning of our existence. In some cases Borges cites some real situations that could give rise to the creation of the legend of a certain imaginary being. Some of the creatures come from mythology, others from doctrines and others from some authors of books such as Lewis Carroll, Kafka, H. G. Wells, or Flaubert. Provenance : Horacio Jorge Becco the most important biographer of Borges, with his stamp in frontispiece. W3., Books<
