Signature Editions - Enigma POL

Go behind the scenes of the gripping intelligence game of the 20th century, witness the genius of three Polish mathematicians and see how an advantage capable of changing the course of the war emerged from seemingly meaningless strings of letters.

Discover who downplayed the threat and who strove to prepare for it.

Here, fiction intertwines with fact and a portrait of pre-war Poland. It is an intellectual adventure that reveals what the war looked like before it even began—in military intelligence, across the airwaves, in ciphers, and in quiet rooms filled with machines and the people who achieved what many deemed impossible.

 This is a set that is a pleasure to read, yet leaves you with a deeper understanding.

This box contains books in Polish! If you ead in English, we invite you to purchase the English-language version of the Enigma box. It complements the story by covering events that took place later in Great Britain—detailing the work of Alan Turing and the Bletchley Park team, the facility's organization and personnel, and its role within the context of wartime Britain. The English Enigma box is set to launch later this September.

What's inside?

"Enigma. Liczba wszystkich liczb" K.Koziołek - a spy novel that chronicles the lives of three Polish mathematicians and cryptologists, along with a fictional intelligence liaison, from their early code-breaking attempts and greatest triumphs right up to the outbreak of World War II. It is a fantastic, imaginative story that captures the military, political, and intelligence contexts alongside the personal side of the narrative, while also explaining the Enigma-breaking process—from a mathematical and technical standpoint—in an accessible, step-by-step manner. All of this unfolds within a gripping novel.

 Bookiversum Tip: It’s a good idea to have some ice cream in the freezer while reading! We won’t say any more :)

"Wojna w eterze. 1914-1945. Wywiad i kontrwywiad radiowy" P. Mathews - A chronological account of intelligence and counter-intelligence efforts—including those involving Enigma and the operations at Bletchley Park—set against the broader backdrop of the First and Second World Wars.

"Mała księga wielkich szyfrów" D. Robakowski - a book for adults and teenagers that explains the most famous ciphers in an accessible way, categorized by complexity ranging from "the incredibly simple" (e.g., the Caesar cipher) to substitution ciphers, to "(supposedly) unbreakable"  ciphers, and early encryption machines.

IG Fitness Szyfry - a set of 50 code-breaking task cards. Five levels of difficulty provide an intellectual challenge for players of varying skill levels.

The children's add-on includes:

"Enigma. Tajna misja Mariana Rejewskiego" K. Ziemnicka

The game "Code Breaking" – a two-player logic game where one person sets a 4-character code and the other must crack it. While the manufacturer suggests it is suitable for ages 4 and up, we recommend it for children aged 7 and older.

Furthermore, children in grades 1–3 of primary school can solve Level 1 tasks from "IQ Fitness" (added to the adult set), while older children can tackle Levels 2–4, depending on their age and aptitude. 

Why are our boxes unique?

Title Selection - Each book is carefully read and selected to create a cohesive story – thematically and emotionally. This isn't a random selection, but a careful conscious choice prepared with a specific occasion, theme, and emotion in mind.

Beautiful Editions - We select books that are both aesthetically and functionally pleasing. Beautiful and durable. The books in our boxes are meant not only to be read, but also to be collected, shared and celebrated.

Thoughtful Additions - Every element is meaningful. Sometimes the connection to the books is immediately obvious, sometimes it's only revealed after reading, but it's never accidental. Everything has been chosen with heart and intention.

Custom-Designed Prints - Each box features its own unique print designed specifically for its theme, atmosphere, and story. These aren't random graphics, but illustrations printed on beautiful, textured, thick paper specifically for this particular set.

Bookmarks from a local artisan - These bookmarks are made in a small, local workshop. You can use them as they are, as they have been carefully polished, but you can also decorate them yourself – with markers, paints, or decoupage. It's a small, creative touch that adds a personal touch to the boxes.

Hand-Packed - Each box is assembled by hand, paying attention to detail, layout, filling, and aesthetics. We want the moment of opening to be part of the experience – beautiful, peaceful, and a celebration of the moment.

Collectible Aesthetics - Our magnetic boxes are durable, perfectly even, and designed to last for years. This isn't a box "just for one opening." It's a box that can be used to store writing utensils, trinkets, souvenirs, or kitchen accessories.

Ready-made Gift - Once removed from the shipping box, the box is ready to give – no additional packaging required. And if you'd like to add a card, well-wishes, or an added gift in an envelope , the magnetic closure allows you to open and close the box without leaving a trace.

Family Reading - Many adult boxes include supplements for children or have full-fledged children's equivalents. This allows you to explore shared passions and topics, each at an age-appropriate level.
