From Mythmakers and Lawbreakers:
Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986) was one of the most famous Spanish-language authors in the world and was often a contender for the Nobel prize for literature, but never received it. Some speculate that this was because of his anarcho-pacifist views. An Argentinean and a world citizen, he is known primarily for his short stories, of which he wrote an innumerable quantity.
