A collection of novels, published in 1949, containing seventeen short stories. Aleph (א) is the first letter of Hebrew. In mathematics, it represents infinite numbers and infinite sets. Mysticism understands it as potential energy that transcends the limits of time and space. Borges uses the form of novels to expand his thoughts on time, space, the universe, macro and micro. After the death of the woman I admired, "I" still visited her home every year on her birthday. Her cousin Daneri had been writing a long poem entitled "The World" for many years. He confided a secret to "me". There was an "Aleph" in the corner of the basement, which was the source of his talent for writing poetry. "I" lay quietly on the brick floor in the dark basement, staring at the nineteenth step of the stairs. Finally, I saw a small flashing ball. The scene in the ball was dazzling. "The universe is included in it." That was Aleph.

Why do I want to watch this? Because I want to write a fanfic for Aleph in Back to the Future 1999 [smile][smile][smile]
Combining philosophy, religion, history, and literature
The author uses his unimaginable breadth of knowledge and wild imagination to construct a philosophical novel that has never been seen before in history.
Is there an Aleph inside the stone? Do I see it when I see all things? Our memories fade easily; under the tragic erosion of time, I myself was distorting and forgetting Beatrice's appearance.
Everything is visible in that shiny little ball that seems to be spinning,
This is the infinity of space, not time.
I will see in it and see Him in it.
Infinite infinite,
Nesting and looping,
All will be revealed to me, dazzling me.
All things are Aleph,
Aleph is the universe.
The book "Aleph" is very interesting! I like Benhamín Otállola in it. Although he is a rogue, he is brave enough to pursue his dreams. This made me understand that anyone can try to change their life as long as they have the courage. Moreover, the description of Aleph in the book is also very magical, which gave me a lot of imagination about the infinite universe. I think this book is both interesting and thought-provoking, and well worth reading.
In this novel, complex narratives are common, and the passage of time is often shown.
