El Aleph es un cuento del escritor argentino Jorge Luis Borges publicado en la revista Sur en 1945 y en el libro homonimo por la editorial Emece de Buenos Aires en 1949. El original se encuentra en la Biblioteca Nacional de Espana, que lo adquirio por subasta en 1985. Presenta numerosas posibles interpretaciones; entre ellas la que plantea una lectura desde el existencialismo, basada en la idea de la incapacidad del ser humano de enfrentarse a la eternidad. Esta idea esta presente en muchos de los cuentos borgianos y en su lectura y manejo de autores preexistencialistas como Soren Kierkegaard, Franz Kafka, y Arthur Schopenhauer. En este cuento, que se ha convertido en objeto de culto, se puede reconocer toda su literatura, de tal forma que puede ser calificado como el cuento paradigmatico de la vasta biblioteca borgiana, abrevando en la ironia, el juego con el lenguaje y la erudicion -tanto veridica como ficticia-. Esto ultimo se deja entrever, por ejemplo, en los epigrafes iniciales, donde se cita a Hobbes y Shakespeare, asi como en la postdata de 1943 donde se hace una supuesta investigacion acerca de otros Alephs citando a autores historicos como Pedro Henriquez Urena, Richard Francis Burton, Luciano de Samosata e Ibn Jaldun."

Alejandro, ''El Mono'', is dead. His brother and friends, inseparable since childhood, push back their grief to focus on Guadalupe, El Mono's daughter. Their goal is to give the little girl the love they felt for their friend and secure her future. But El Mono had emptied his bank account to buy a soccer player, a young man who showed a lot of promise but didn't live up to it, currently on loan to a third-rate club in the provinces. The three hundred thousand dollars invested in him about to vanish into thin air. How do you sell a forward who doesn't score? How do you navigate the waters in a place where you don't know the rules? How do you remain united when each failure creates invisible wedges in long-standing loyalties?

[Penguin Readers Level 4]Winston Smith lives in a society where the government controls people every second of the day. He fights this world with love. But it's dangerous: love for another person can be punished by death - and Big Brother is always watching.Orwell's classic story shows that there is no freedom unless ideas and beliefs can be questioned. This is as true today as when it was written, more than fifty years ago.

I read this in high school, 1992 I believe, and I really, really liked it. I couldn't tell anyone, though, because it was high school and all the cool kids were mad that Mr. Whittaker was making us read it. "Ugh, it's soooo, like, loooong" they said. "this is sooo gay! Like, gag me" they said. "Soma, sooooma, it's like, that's all this book is about. How booooooring" they cried. "I totally agree!" I said while silently hating them.Has anyone ever told you "the world needs ditch-diggers too?" My dad used to say that. No body wants to be a ditch-digger. Not in this world. In the Brave New World, though, people are bred to be ditch-diggers. They are bred to want it. And as long as they are properly drugged, they'll keep wanting it. Read away.

The seventeen pieces in Ficciones demonstrate the whirlwind of Borges's genius and mirror the precision and potency of his intellect and inventiveness, his piercing irony, his skepticism, and his obsession with fantasy. Borges sends us on a journey into a compelling, bizarre, and profoundly resonant realm; we enter the fearful sphere of Pascal's abyss, the surreal and literal labyrinth of books, and the iconography of eternal return. To enter the worlds in Ficciones is to enter the mind of Jorge Luis Borges, wherein lies Heaven, Hell, and everything else in between.

Librarian's Note: An alternate cover edition can be found hereIn April, 1992, a young man from a well-to-do family hitchhiked to Alaska and walked alone into the wilderness north of Mt. McKinley. His name was Christopher Johnson McCandless. He had given $25,000 in savings to charity, abandoned his car and most of his possessions, burned all the cash in his wallet, and invented a new life for himself. Four months later, a party of moose hunters found his decomposed body. How McCandless came to die is the unforgettable story of Into the Wild.Immediately after graduating from college in 1991, McCandless had roamed through the West and Southwest on a vision quest like those made by his heroes Jack London and John Muir. In the Mojave Desert he abandoned his car, stripped it of its license plates, and burned all of his cash. He would give himself a new name, Alexander Supertramp, and, unencumbered by money and belongings, he would be free to wallow in the raw, unfiltered experiences that nature presented. Craving a blank spot on the map, McCandless simply threw away the maps. Leaving behind his desperate parents and sister, he vanished into the wild.
