I have read his complete fiction and that's wonderful. This book is no less, although it is a difficult read comparatively. However, I would give just 2 star to penguin for the print quality and it's not a cheap book either and they publish many books at half the price and double the width with better size font and paper quality. Don't know what happened here. This book is printed on worst paper in penguin books I have and also have smallest of font. The cover page was also very thin. I am using a very think plastic sheet as cover to.improve it's longevity. Review: Superb collection of Borges’ essays, including some which are not available elsewhere. Each essay has the characteristics of one of his stories. Fascinating, sometimes startling, and packed with enough erudition to keep one googling for weeks. Highly recommended. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #128,778 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #562 in Science Fiction History & Criticism #808 in Essays (Books) #1,470 in Anthologies (Books) | | Country of Origin | United Kingdom | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (45) | | Dimensions | 2.79 x 12.7 x 19.3 cm | | ISBN-10 | 0141183020 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0141183022 | | Importer | Penguin Random House India Pvt Ltd | | Item Weight | 397 g | | Language | English | | Net Quantity | 750.00 Grams | | Packer | Penguin Random House India Pvt Ltd | | Print length | 576 pages | | Publication date | 18 January 2001 | | Publisher | Penguin UK | ## Images ![The Total Library: Non-Fiction 1922-1986 (Penguin Modern Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Cpv9PCIaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read for the content, but avoid for paper quality and small font *by G***L on 17 July 2025* Gave 5 star for the content as the writing of Jorge luis Borges is an enigma in itself.

Each essay has the characteristics of one of his stories. Fascinating, sometimes startling, and packed with enough erudition to keep one googling for weeks. Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***S on 9 July 2007* This is a wonderful collection of Borges' non-fiction. It is a marvelous book to read and ponder. The only thing I could have wished for is a larger print font. I find I have to read this one with a magnifying glass. I suppose I shouldn't complain because there is SO much material. I will give this 5 stars just for the wealth of good reading it has to offer. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Total Library: Non-Fiction 1922-1986 (Penguin Modern Classics) - Fictions - Labyrinths (Penguin Modern Classics) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/64656324-the-total-library-non-fiction-1922-1986-penguin-modern-classics](https://www.desertcart.it/products/64656324-the-total-library-non-fiction-1922-1986-penguin-modern-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
