He came from the north on horseback, with white hair and a weathered face; he is a stranger and a demon hunter who takes slaying demons as his own duty and walks between the fog of reality and legend. "Sleeping Beauty" with a short neck and sharp white teeth, who feeds on humans; "Snow White" with ragged hair and excellent swordsmanship, who leads seven dwarfs to rob vendors; "Djinn" with huge eyeballs and lips like a bird's beak, who turns wishes into death contracts... The journey of salvation is full of thorns, curses, lies, betrayals, pressing every step, and only when you escape to a dream can you have a moment of respite. When he looked back, the witcher suddenly realized that he was just a prey in the hands of others! The blood of monsters will eventually be washed away. How will human sins end? Now, do you hear the sound of horse hooves in the distance?

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.
