Circular Ruins

The circular ruins written by Jorge Luis Borges is a short story about a man who decides to create his perfect son while dreaming. This is one of the most well known short stories by Borges.
On the positive side, the short story catches you word by word till the very end. The story line is quite vivid although it is a clam character. Borges describes everything in detail.
On the other hand, you need a certain level of English. Wide and specific vocabulary is required to understand the story. Children may not enjoy or understand the story because what was said before.
Finally, I would recommend this literary work because not reading it would be a pity. Grown up people will enjoy it much more than youngters.
