La prima raccolta di racconti di Borges (1935). Nei suoi scritti, Borges ha sempre unito un'elevata serietà a un malvagio senso del divertimento. Qui rivela il suo piacere nel ricreare (o inventare) storie colorate dall'Oriente, dal mondo islamico e dal Far West, così come la sua inorridita fascinazione per i combattimenti con i coltelli, il tradimento politico e personale e la vendetta sanguinaria. Scintillante del puro esuberante piacere di raccontare storie, questa raccolta ha segnato l'emergere di una voce letteraria del tutto distintiva.
