The author's sixth book translated into English, and together with Ficciones, the collection he considered his major work. The volume collects 20 stories eleven of which had never previously appeared in book form in English and a lengthy autobiographical essay. While many of these works are exceptional metaphysical fantasies, the title work stands above the others, describing "a magical point in space which contains all others, and in which the whole infinite universe can be glimpsed" (Barron, Fantasy Literature 3-43). The English versions of these stories are superb; to this point, di Giovanni's translations were the only ones done with Borges's collaboration. Uncommon signed. Becco 281.

Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Zustand: Muy bien. 1ª Edición. In-8º. 146 (5)pp. Wrappers. Inscribed, dated and signed by the author. "A Ezequiel Martinez Estrada, con la admiracion de su amigo. Buenos Aires 1950 Jorge Luis Borges". Martinez estrada like almost all the components of the intellectual elite, he maintained a closed anti-Peronism between 1945 and 1955, but after that date he reacted with dignity to the first persecutory measures of the so-called Liberation Revolution, and began to collaborate with magazines and publications on the left, especially With Propositos", Leonidas Barletta's weekly newspaper, Jorge Luis Borges, came up with this kind of statements, and since then a hard controversy and other differences have been set up that separated them forever. (Despite this, after his death, Borges could not ignore the quality of writing and intelligence of Martinez Estrada, and commented his book of poems with these lines, although not very generous, fairly fair: "This volume is inconceivable without the previous work of Lugones and Darío, but there are many pieces that match or surpass their models, at this moment I remember the poems dedicated to Whitman, Emerson and Poe "). Since the friendship between them was diluted in 1956 it is difficult to find dedicated books from Borges to Martinez estrada. The Aleph is the second narrative summit of Borges and, together with Ficciones, one of his paradigmatic books. The mere enumeration of the stories that compose it headed by the El Aleph that gives title to the compilation would account for the endless richness of its writing and the inexhaustible conceptual spring that individualize it in the literature of the century. The fantastic universe, the mathematical and metaphysical mysteries, the intrigues, but also the historical and poetic sensitivity, produce here enduring metaphors, definitely incorporated into the collective unconscious.
