It will come as a surprise to some that the greater part of Jorge Luis Borges's extraordinary writing was not in the genres of fiction or poetry, but in the various forms of non-fiction prose. His thousands of pages of essays, reviews, prologues, lectures, and notes on politics and culture—though revered in Latin America and Europe as among his finest work—have scarcely been translated into English.

Ruined by bad narration
Revisado: 02-15-25
Obviously there’s nothing wrong with Borges. These works shed a lot of light on his short fictions as well as being very interesting in their own right.
The big problem here is that the narration is very distracting. All kinds of embarassing mispronunciations on display here… I finally threw my hands up after hearing Flaubert (“Fluh-bert”) mispronounced for the dozenth time.
Was this some sort of cost-cutting move? A real clown show.
It’s a shame that they didn’t get Castulo Guerra (the narrator of the unabridged Borges collected fictions) to read this work - not that Guerras reading was perfect, but it didn’t draw my attention away from the work every other second.

In his prophetic masterwork, Joseph A. Schumpeter introduced the world to the concept of “creative destruction,” which forever altered how global economics is approached and perceived.

Chapters are out of order
Revisado: 09-21-20
The chapters here are out of order (which wouldn’t be much of a problem if they had been given meaningful chapter names).
Glad to see this title here. Here is the correct ordering of the “chapters”:
<1,6,2,3,4,5,18,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,33,27,28,29,30,31,32,34>
Really glad to see this title here.
