Which Argentine author wrote 'The Aleph'?

Jorge Luis Borges wrote the short story The Aleph.

Originally titled El Aleph, the story was first published in the Argentine magazine Sur in September 1945. It later became the title work of Borges’s 1949 collection The Aleph and Other Stories, one of the key books in modern Spanish-language literature.

The story centers on an Aleph: a point in space that contains every other point, allowing its viewer to see the entire universe simultaneously. Borges uses this impossible object to explore infinity, memory, jealousy, literature, and the limits of human language. The narrative combines philosophical speculation with the intimate tensions of its characters.

Readers sometimes confuse Borges with other major Argentine writers, including Julio Cortázar and Adolfo Bioy Casares. Borges is the canonical author of The Aleph; the title also refers to the Hebrew letter aleph, traditionally associated with the number one and with beginnings.
