The Book of Sand (original Spanish title: Template:Lang) is a short story collection by Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges, published in 1975. According to the author's opinion, the collection, written in his last days (while blind), is his best book, an opinion not shared by most critics, who prefer his other works such as Ficciones.
