Indulging in out-of-the-way erudition, Borges mined sources ancient and modern to compile this miscellany of 120 creatures of the imagination, from the A Bao A Qu that inhabits the first step of an Indian staircase to the living island of Zaratan. Translated by Norman Thomas di Giovanni in collaboration with Borges.

From A (A Bao A Qu) to Z (Zaratan) an imaginary bestiary.  This is an inventory of curious & fabulous creatures compiled by a great South American writer.  Few readers will want, or be able, to resist this modern bestiary.  For in a world where 'floating islands are invariably Krakens,' we must beware of the basilicok which 'sleeth folk by the venom of his sighte';  & we mus at least be aware of the thirty-six Lamed Wufniks & of the vegeratble Lamb of Tartary.

The acclaimed translation of Borges's valedictory stories, in its first stand-alone edition  Jorge Luis Borges has been called the greatest Spanish-language writer of the twentieth century. Now Borges's remarkable last major story collection, The Book of Sand, is paired with a handful of writings from the very end of his life. Brilliantly translated, these stories combine a direct and at times almost colloquial style coupled with Borges's signature fantastic inventiveness. Containing such marvelous tales as "The Congress," "Undr," "The Mirror and the Mask," and "The Rose of Paracelsus," this edition showcases Borges's depth of vision and superb image-conjuring power.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
