# Jorge Luis Borges

> He wrote labyrinths, mirrors, infinite libraries, and dreams folding into dreams - short fictions that remade what a story could be. By the time the world caught up, Borges was already blind, navigating his own fiction by memory.

## Bio

Born in Buenos Aires in 1899, Borges moved to Switzerland in 1914 and studied at the Collège de Genève, travelling widely across Europe before returning to Argentina in 1921. He published poems and essays in surrealist journals while working as a librarian and lecturer, then released his defining story collections - Ficciones and El Aleph - in the 1940s, building fictions from archives, chance, and mythology. In 1955 he was appointed director of the National Public Library and professor of English Literature at the University of Buenos Aires, by which time he was completely blind. The 1961 Formentor Prize, shared with Samuel Beckett, brought international attention; translations multiplied through the 1960s as the Latin American Boom rose around him. He died in Geneva in 1986, the city to which he'd dedicated his final work.
