The publisher Alfagura will start publishing the complete work of Jorge Luis Borges in January 2026 with ‘Complete stories, complete essays and complete poetry’. Precisely, June 14 marks the 40th anniversary of his death.
It will be a simultaneous launch in Spain and Latin America – with the exception of Argentina, where his books will continue to appear on the Sudamericana label – which will be extended to new titles throughout 2026 and will recover all of his work in the coming years.
Thus, the publishing will begin on January 22, the date on which they will arrive in bookstores ‘Complete stories, complete essays’ -with a composition of texts hitherto unpublished- and ‘Complete poetry’.
Then, in June 2026, ‘The Aleph’, ‘The Brodie Report’ and ‘The Tango’ will be published, in addition to a volume of unpublished conferences. And, in November, ‘Fictions, Universal History of Infamy’, ‘The Gold of the Tigers’ and ‘Course in English and North American Literature’ will arrive on the label.
“The stories of Jorge Luis Borges constitute one of the fundamental chapters of 20th century literature because they are a form of intellectual and aesthetic exploration in which the rigor of construction and metaphysical invention, erudition and enigma, thought and fable coexist.“explains the publisher.
The volume that is published in January brings together, in chronological order, all of Borges’s story books. The set traces the complete map of a work that redefined the borders between philosophy and fiction. Each story is a form of narrative thought, an experiment with the possibilities of time, destiny and language.
