Mazes have been a part of civilization for at least 4,000 years, and there are more being built now than ever before. What is it about these magical life-size puzzles that continues to intrigue us? The idea of the maze taps into so many subconscious notions: the game, the quest, the spiritual journey. Perhaps this is the key to their enduring appeal. This beautifully illustrated book will delight lovers of mazes, acting as a guide, directory, and puzzle book combined. Specially commissioned illustrations by Thibaud Herem represent 60 real and imagined mazes from around the world, with a bird's eye view of each maze so that readers can make their own journey. Each maze is also accompanied by a fascinating and witty short history.

原文摘录
· · · · · ·
《小径分岔的花园》（The Garden of Forking Patbs）是博尔赫斯最著名的短篇小说之一，收录于1962年出版的《迷宫》（Labyrintbs）。小说主人公破解了一位显赫的先祖留下的令人费解的谜题，这位先祖淡出公众视野，写了一本书并建造了一座迷官。主人公顿悟“书和迷官是一样的”，
科特便据此设计了迷宫。这座迷宫的轮廓像一本打开的书，两边的内容差不多对称。科特第一次见到博尔赫斯的时候，博尔赫斯的双眼已经失明。所以这座迷宫有个独一无二的特点：迷宫内所有的导览牌都使用布莱叶盲文，为有视力障碍的人带来更好的游览体验。
因为梦见博尔赫斯去世，科特联系了邦巴尔，希望在还能得到作家本人的祝福的时候，就创造“真正的博尔赫斯式”的东西进行紧急讨论。毫无疑问，它必须是迷宫，它也成了科特最引以为傲的杰作。第一座博尔赫斯迷宫建于2003年，就在邦巴尔的葡萄园，这里曾是一个艺术沙龙，现在是阿根廷圣拉斐尔的一家精品酒店一
杨树林小屋。此后，博尔赫斯的追随者们在世界各地复制类似的迷宫，威尼斯圣乔治马焦雷岛上的这座迷宫是2011年科特去世后兴建的。 (查看原文)
