The Book of Imaginary Beings, by Jorge Luis Borges
€4.00

Quay Books
Few readers will want, or be able, to resist this modern bestiary. Here you will find the familiar - Gryphons, Minotaurs and Unicorns - as well as the Monkey of the inkpot and other undeniably curious beasts. Borges' cunning and humorous commentary is sheer delight.
“The Book of Imaginary Beings [is] a compendium of brief, almost stark descriptions and stories about fantastic animals from many older texts and sources, including the bestiaries of medieval Europe and their classical antecedents, Chinese and Indian myth, folk tales, the legends of indigenous peoples, and the minds of writers such as Kafka and Poe … The book is, then, something like a map of the endless labyrinth of human imagination and its contents.” - The Guardian
