recommended for: Everyone
I have read many bestiaries in my life from obscure forgotten ones in Mexico, Spain, Portugal and to the magical and esoteric world of the Gypsies. Ants born in fire, insects that explode at midnight, and though other seem like pure creation of a race or an specific writer Borges it’s more like a compilation of a fantastic zoology. This compilation pours with Borges incessant knowledge, with his love for history and story telling.
If you have read any other bestiaries I recommend this one to be added to your collection you will not be disappointed.
