 Labyrinths
Although his work has been restricted to the short story, the essay, and poetry, Jorge Luis Borges of Argentina is recognized all over the world as one of the most original and significant figures in modern literature. In his preface André Maurois writes: "Borges is a great writer who has composed only little essays or short narratives. Yet they suffice for us to call him great because of their wonderful intelligence, their wealth of invention, and their tight, almost mathematical style." |

A Brief History of the Paradox
Philosophy and the Labyrinths of the Mind
Because paradoxes show great minds at once at their most inspired and befuddled, a book like this makes an excellent introduction to philosophy in general.
By treating how different thinkers deal with a problem, Mr. Sorensen provides a sort of whistle-stop tour of Western thought.
