The Book of Sand

The treasure trove of indigenous folklore, the works of Western European and North American Romantics, and the writings of late nineteenth-century modernist authors—these are the origins of contemporary Latin American fantastic fiction, represented in this anthology both by world-renowned masters (J. L. Borges, G. García Márquez, J. Cortázar, C. Fuentes) and by authors virtually unknown to the Soviet reader (C. Palma, S. Ocampo, J. R. Ribeyro, and others).
