His finest work is Ficciones (1944), a collection of brilliantly-crafted, essay-like short stories. \u003cbr\u003eWriters responsible for the modern upsurge in Latin American narrative, like Gabriel García Márquez (Columbia, a Nobel Prize winner), Julio Cortázar (Argentina) and Carlos Fuentes (Mexico), concur in identifying Borges as an honoured predecessor. In turn, Borges' work has been a major influence for writers in English and other languages, as well as film makers among them Peter Carey, Nadine gordimer, Salman Rushdie, Umberto Eco, Italo Calvino, Michel Foucault, Jean Luc Godard, Peter Greenaway, and Bernardo Bertolucci. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis edition by Gordon Brotherston and Peter Hulme, updated from the original 1976 edition by the same authors, offers a comprehensive selection of stories from the work in the original language with an English introduction, detailed notes, a generous vocabulary, bibliography, as well as chronological and other tables.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeter Hulme\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor in the Department of Literature, University of Essex, UK. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eGordon Brotherston\u003c\/b\u003e is Research Professor in the Department of Literature, University of Essex, UK, and Professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, Indiana University, USA.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 232\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.52 x 8.54 x 5.54 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 09, 1999\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50372494524653,"sku":"9781853995903","price":59.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/DWcaI7cDZA9781853995903.webp?v=1785504859","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-au\/products\/borges-ficciones-paperback","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
