this is very likely jorge luis borges short story the library of babel. in it, h
e describes a universe consisting of connected hexagonal rooms, each containing 
five walls with bookshelves.while theres no definite proof, this vast library se
ems to contain all possible page books possible with all combinations of  letter
s, a comma, a period, and a space.the story was written in spanish as borges was
 argentinian and was part of his  collection el jardn de senderos que se bifurca
n the garden of forking paths, which was later expanded upon the collection, not
 the story and renamed ficciones fictions.the books are restricted to a certain 
formatthere are five shelves for each of the hexagons walls each shelf contains 
thirtyfive books of uniform format each book is of four hundred and ten pages ea
ch page, of forty lines, each line, of some eighty letters which are black in co
lor. there are also letters on the spine of each book these letters do not indic
ate or prefigure what the pages will say.they had indeed had every single combin
ation of letters available meaning that every story possible was available.this 
thinker observed that all the books, no matter how diverse they might be, are ma
de up of the same elements the space, the period, the comma, the twentytwo lette
rs of the alphabet. he also alleged a fact which travelers have confirmed in the
 vast library there are no two identical books. from these two incontrovertible 
premises he deduced that the library is total and that its shelves register all 
the possible combinations of the twentyodd orthographical symbols ...there is a 
group of fanatics that hunt the library for the future.there are official search
ers, inquisitors. i have seen them in the performance of their function they alw
ays arrive extremely tired from their journeys ...others destroy books they deem
 nonsense.others, inversely, believed that it was fundamental to eliminate usele
ss works. they invaded the hexagons, showed credentials which were not always fa
lse, leafed through a volume with displeasure and condemned whole shelves their 
hygienic, ascetic furor caused the senseless perdition of millions of books.you
