href="/wiki/Argentina" title="Argentina">Argentine</a> writer <a href="/wiki/Jorge_Luis_Borges" title="Jorge Luis Borges">Jorge Luis Borges</a>. The title work, "<a href="/wiki/The_Aleph_(short_story)" title="The Aleph (short story)">The Aleph</a>", describes a point in space that contains all other spaces at once. The work also presents the idea of infinite time. Borges writes in the original <a href="/wiki/Afterword" title="Afterword">afterword</a>, dated May 3, 1949 (Buenos Aires), that most of the stories belong to the genre of <a href="/wiki/Fantasy_(genre)" class="mw-redirect" title="Fantasy (genre)">fantasy</a>, mentioning themes such as identity and immortality. Borges added four new stories to the collection in the 1952 edition, for which he provided a brief postscript to the afterword. The story "La intrusa" (The Intruder) was first printed in the third edition of <i>El Aleph</i> (1966) and was later included in the collection <i>El informe de Brodie</i> (1970).<sup id="cite_ref-1"
