Responding to a steady demand for an updated edition, Gene H. Bell-Villada has significantly revised and expanded the book to incorporate new information that has become available since Borges' death in 1986. In particular, he offers a more complete look at Borges and Peronism and Borges' personal experiences of love and mysticism, as well as revised interpretations of some of Borges' stories. As before, the book is divided into three sections that examine Borges' life, his stories in \u003ci\u003eFicciones\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eEl Aleph,\u003c\/i\u003e and his place in world literature. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Preface to the Revised Edition \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Preface to the 1981 Edition \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Acknowledgments \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Note on Page References \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chronology \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Part I.
