''The Aleph and Other Stories'' (Spanish: ''El Aleph'', 1949) is a book of short stories by Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges. The title work, "The Aleph", describes a point in space that contains all other spaces at once. The work also presents the idea of infinite time. Borges writes in the original afterword, dated May 3, 1949 (Buenos Aires), that most of the stories belong to the genre of fantasy, mentioning themes such as identity and immortality. Borges added four new stories to the collection in the 1952 edition, for which he provided a brief postscript to the afterword. ==Contents== *"The Immortal" ("El inmortal") *"The Dead Man" ("El Muerto") *"The Theologians" ("Los teólogos") *"Story of the Warrior and the Captive" ("Historia del guerrero y la cautiva") *"A Biography of Tadeo Isidoro Cruz (1829–1874)" ("Biografía de Tadeo Isidoro Cruz (1829–1874)") *"Emma Zunz" *"The House of Asterion" ("La casa de Asterión") *"The Other Death" ("La otra muerte") *"Deutsches Requiem" ("Deutsches réquiem") *"Averroes's Search" ("La busca de Averroes") *"The Zahir" ("El zahir") *"The Writing of the God" ("La escritura del Dios") *"Ibn-Hakam al-Bokhari, Murdered in His Labyrinth" 〔Added to the 1952 edition of "The Aleph"〕 ("Abenjacán el Bojarí, muerto en su laberinto") *"The Two Kings and the Two Labyrinths" 〔 ("Una leyenda arábiga" ("Historia de los dos reyes y los dos laberintos, como nota de Burton") ) *"The Wait" 〔 ("La espera") *"The Man on the Threshold" 〔 ("El hombre en el umbral") *"The Aleph" ("El Aleph") 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Aleph (short story collection)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
