The Circular Ruins - Jorge Luis Borges - 226 / 365 of reading one short story every day.


The Circular Ruins


Jorge Luis Borges's 'The Circular Ruins' is a short story that explores the nature of reality and imagination.


'The Circular Ruins' is a fantasy short story that delves into the material of reality. Though some critics have called the work horrifying, it fits with the philosophical background of many of Borges's works. In this story, as in others, he implements the philosophy of idealism. The story is a dream within a dream.
