Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) is an iconic intellectual author, professor honoris causa at the world's leading universities, and a leader of the Library of Babylon and almost all libraries in the world. The Private Library (1985) contains prefaces written by Jorge Luis Borges to the books included in his collection of one hundred must-read works. Borges selected these works at his own discretion, but he managed to write only sixty-four prefaces to them, as his death prevented him from completing his plan.

"A book is a thing among things, a volume lost among volumes, of which there are countless in an indifferent universe, until it finds its reader, the person intended for its symbols. ... God grant that you are the reader this book has been waiting for," the author addresses the future reader of this book with these words.
