The Library of Babel is Jorge Luis Borges's famous 1941 meditation on language, alphabets, and the library that contains all knowledge. This work is an allegory of our Universe, complemented and enhanced by the detailed etchings of the French artist, Érik Desmazières.

This short story delves into the infinite, exploring the vast and endless possibilities of a library that holds every book ever written and every book that could possibly be written. The narrative challenges the reader to ponder the meaning of existence, knowledge, and the universe itself.
