  'One of the most remarkable artists of our age' - Mario Vargas Llosa. The Book of Sand was the last of Borges' major collections to be published. The stories are, in his words, 'variations on favourite themes...combining a plain and at times almost colloquial style with a fantastic plot'. It includes such marvellous tales as The Congress , Undr and The Mirror and the Mask . Also included are the handful of stories written right at the end of Borges' life - August 25, 1983 , Blue Tigers , The Rose of Paracelsus and Shakespeare's Memory .
