The Aleph and Other Stories by Jorge Luis Borges
"Every story is a step beyond�
Our twentieth century had inverted the story of Mohammed and the mountain; nowadays, the mountain came to the modern Mohammed.

Isn’t it about the modern omnipresent mass media?
‘When I opened my eyes, I saw the Aleph.� ‘The Aleph?� ‘Yes, the only place on earth where all places are � seen from every angle, each standing clear, without any confusion or blending.�

As The Aleph is a locus of the entire world, so the stories by Jorge Luis Borges are the epitome of the entire intellectual universe.
His guiding purpose, though it was supernatural, was not impossible. He wanted to dream a man; he wanted to dream him down to the last detail and project him into the world of reality.

Jorge Luis Borges has dreamt many of such men and they continue to live in his tales�
Probably we are someone’s dream as well."
