Labyrinths
This is another article by Jorge Luis Borges, he is really good at description. In the title “Tlon, Uqbar, Orbits Tertius”, Tlon and Uqbar are utopia cities or countries, and Orbits Terius means the 3rd day. Borges had such great language ability that every detail in the story seemed real like watching a picture.
Like the library of Babel, this Tlon city the imagination was so systematic that everything was nicely organized. Unlike ordinary fiction, math and science are also considered in Tlon, which increased the feeling of reality.
