Unveiling the Mystery of Box From Babel: Books from the Infinite Library

Updated: Oct 3, 2024




Welcome, curious reader, to the Box From Babel, where knowledge, mystery, and wonder meet in a seemingly ordinary shipping box that’s anything but. Have you ever wanted to hold a piece of literary history in your hands—something that feels like a treasure from a forgotten corner of the world? Well, you’ve come to the right place.

Imagine for a moment: Borges’ mythical Library of Babel, a library so vast it contains every possible book. Yes, every single book that could ever exist! But there’s a catch—most of the books are unreadable gibberish. So, hidden among them are the rare few that hold truth, wisdom, and untold wonders. Now, we know that Library doesn’t physically exist, but Box From Babel brings you the next best thing: a chance to explore forgotten tomes from our vast and enigmatic collection, curated to spark your curiosity and maybe, just maybe, offer you something truly life-changing.



A Gateway to Literary Adventure

Every box from Box From Babel contains a mystery. We don’t promise you a bestseller or the next trendy read. What you’ll receive instead is a thoughtful selection of books, handpicked from an archive that’s been sealed away for over a decade. We’ve unearthed a treasure trove of books that span decades, genres, and ideas. Your box could contain out-of-print titles, obscure philosophies, forgotten histories, or rare poetry, making each unboxing a journey into the unknown.

These aren’t just books—they’re fragments of intellectual history, each with the potential to open your mind to new worlds. It’s not just about what’s inside the box; it’s about the mystery, the surprise, and the knowledge you didn’t know you needed.

Fun Fact: Are These Books Really from the Library of Babel?

Here’s the truth: Box From Babel offers you contraband from the Library of Babel—kind of. While Borges’ library remains an enchanting metaphor, the books you receive are sourced from an archive that has lived a life of its own. This collection, amassed by the legendary bibliophile Douglas C. Pollard, was once housed in a massive bookstore that stood as a landmark in Northern Ontario. Since Pollard’s passing, the books have been locked away in sealed containers, gathering dust, waiting to be rediscovered. Now, they’re making their way to you!



Think of it this way: The books may not have traveled from Borges’ mythical library, but they might as well have. You’re receiving books that were forgotten, mysterious, and filled with potential—just like the ones in that infinite library.

Quote of the Day:

"I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library." — Jorge Luis Borges

Why Take the Journey?

In a world where we scroll endlessly through recommended content, Box From Babel is a reminder that sometimes, the best discoveries come from chance encounters. By removing the decision-making process and embracing the unknown, we invite you to take a risk—small but meaningful. Let the books find you. Whether it’s an obscure philosophy that challenges your worldview or a novel that transports you to a place you never expected, the point is that Box From Babel is more than just a box of books; it’s an experience, a gateway to new ideas, and a celebration of the joy of discovery.

What’s Next?

We’re on a mission to give these old books a second life. This is your chance to be a part of something bigger—to revive forgotten knowledge and inject it back into the world, one box at a time. Each box tells a story, not just of the books inside but of the journey they’ve taken to reach you.
