A Universal History of Iniquity (Penguin Classics)

A Universal History of Iniquity (Penguin Classics)

Editorial Reviews
Ilan Stavans, The Times Literary Supplement
Hurley's efforts at retranslating Borges are not anything but heroic. His versions are clear, elegant, crystalline.

Book Description
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. Spark-ling with the sheer exuberant pleasure of story-telling, this collection marked the emergence of an utterly distinctive literary voice.
