''Ficciones'' is the most popular anthology of Short Stories by Jorge Luis Borges , and is considered by many to be the best introduction to his work.

  • 1941: Borges's first anthology appears, ''The Garden of Forking Paths'' (''El Jardín de senderos que se bifurcan'')

  • 1944: The anthology ''Ficciones'' is published, including the 1941 volume as its first half.

  • 1948: The story, ''The Garden of Forking Paths'', is translated into English by Anthony Boucher and published in '' Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine ''

  • 1962: Anthony Bonner produces an English translation of ''Ficciones''


''Ficciones'' should not be confused with '' Labyrinths '', though they have much in common. ''Labyrinths'' is a separate translation of Borges material, by James E. Irby, that also appeared in 1962. Together, these two translations led to much of Borges's worldwide fame in the 60s. Several stories appear in both volumes. ''The Approach to Al-Mu'tasim'' was originally in '' History Of Eternity '' (1936).
