Book of Sand

About This Novel
The collection of novels, published in 1975, contains 13 short stories, which are the top works of Borges in his late writing period. Facing a "book of sand" with endless pages, at first it was a sense of happiness that we took for ourselves, and finally we realized that it was a terrible monster and the source of all troubles. This book is the embodiment of Borges's book worship complex and symbolizes the infinite universe and world. People try their best to break through the unknown, but in the end they experience the infinite and confirm their own insignificance and powerlessness. "If space is infinite, we are at any point in space. If time is infinite, we are at any point in time." Concepts such as infinity, possibility, death, memory and time, philosophical and metaphysical thinking are contained in each article.

I don't understand the second part, where did they go in the end.
Passing mission.
Wandering between dreams
I just feel that I can still think about it and have a good way of thinking.
