La biblioteca de babel
Book • 1974
La Biblioteca de Babel describes a universe consisting of an infinite library composed of hexagonal galleries.
Each gallery contains shelves filled with books of seemingly random characters, representing all possible combinations of letters.
The story delves into the implications of such a library, suggesting that it contains every book that has been written, could be written, and all possible variations thereof.
It explores themes of meaning, knowledge, and the human search for understanding in a universe of infinite possibilities and chaos.
The librarians, the story's inhabitants, grapple with the overwhelming nature of the library, leading to diverse philosophical and existential crises.
