About This Novel
"Imaginary Animals" is a collection of stories co-written by Spanish literary masters, Argentinian poets, novelists, critics, and translators, Jorge Luis Borges and Margarita Guerrero. The collection of stories depicts various creatures imagined by humans, various rare birds and animals, and even some unclassifiable beings, such as Abao Aku, metaphysical animals, Kafka's fantasy animals, plant sheep Borametz, hundred-headed fish, ghost-eating monsters, clones, dragons, phoenixes, gluttons, griffons, black monkeys, goblin Nomu, clay golems, giant Humbaba, giant bull Kuyusa, unicorns, and titles. Tailed snakes... They may exist in the myths and legends of various peoples around the world, or appear in classic documents and literary works, or spread in hearsay, anecdotes, or appear in human dreams. All of them seem to be well-founded, but they are also the product of a mixture of curiosity, imagination, deduction, dreams, and illusions, or out of love, belief, hope, or avoidance, worry, and fear. The collection of stories includes 116 stories, and there are more than 116 kinds of things described. Some articles write about several animals of the same kind or related ones. As Borges said, this book collects "strange creatures bred by human imagination over the passage of time and space."
