Funes the Memorious

Book • 1942
En 'Funes el Memorioso', Borges narra la historia de Ireneo Funes, un joven uruguayo que, después de un accidente de caballo, desarrolla una memoria infalible.

Sin embargo, esta capacidad para recordar cada detalle se vuelve abrumadora y le impide generalizar o abstraer.

La historia explora temas como la memoria, la percepción y la limitación del pensamiento humano.
