Dubliners by James Joyce
If you’ve ever wondered what life was like in Ireland at the
beginning of the 20th century, then look no further. The fifteen short stories in this collection form a vivid image of traditional Irish middle-class life at the height of Irish nationalism, and these middle-class citizens’ desperate search for identity. Published in 1914, Dubliners was the first outing for several characters who eventually make their way into Ulysses, Joyce’s magnum opus.

Written between 1941 and 1956, Ficciones compiles the most
popular short stories of Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges. First translated into English in 1962, the collection is divided into two parts and contains seventeen different stories full of labyrinths (both literal and metaphorical), philosophical issues, and whole universes where reality blends with myth, legend, history, and fantasy to the point that it’s nearly impossible to tell what’s real and what’s not.
