Castulo Guerra
In his writing, Borges always combined high seriousness with a wicked sense of fun. Here he reveals his delight in re-creating (or making up) colorful stories from the Orient, the Islamic world, and the Wild West, as well as his horrified fascination with knife fights, political and personal betrayal, and bloodthirsty revenge. Sparkling with the sheer exuberant pleasure of story-telling, this collection marked the emergence of an utterly distinctive literary voice.

Critic reviews
"Hurley’s efforts at retranslating Borges are not anything but heroic. His versions are clear, elegant, crystalline."—Ilan Stavans, The Times Literary Supplement
"[Borges’s] stories often take the outer form of some genre from popular literature, a form proved by long usage, which creates almost mythical structures."—Italo Calvino
