What is the title of Jorge Luis Borges's story about a man with perfect memory?

The title of Jorge Luis Borges's story about a man with perfect memory is 'Funes the Memorious.' Its central character, Ireneo Funes, remembers every detail of his experiences with extraordinary precision.

Borges first published the story in the Argentine newspaper La Nación in 1942, and it later appeared in the 1944 collection 'Ficciones.' In the fictional account, Funes develops his astonishing memory after falling from a horse and suffering a head injury. He can recall changing clouds, physical sensations, and entire days in minute detail.

The ability is presented as both gift and curse. Funes struggles to sleep and cannot easily think in general categories because every object and moment remains distinct. Borges uses him to explore why abstraction, generalization, and forgetting are essential to ordinary thought.

Readers may encounter the alternate English title 'Funes, His Memory,' translated from the Spanish 'Funes el memorioso.' However, 'Funes the Memorious' is the standard title used for the story in this question.
