Private Collection: Preface
by I
About This Novel
Contains sixty-four prefaces, published in 1988. "This set of books that I have roughly thought of and want to write a preface to is written to please people. I did not choose according to my own literary habits, nor according to a certain tradition, a certain school, a country or an era." Using only the beauty of literature as a criterion, Borges combined the books that he "cannot put down and want to share with others" into a private collection and wrote the preface. It not only discusses famous figures such as Dostoevsky, Flaubert, Wilde, and Kafka, but also discusses authors and works that are gradually being forgotten. There are South American novelists with whom the author is most familiar, as well as relatively unknown Japanese classical literature and Nordic epics.
