Story & Compass - The World

Story & Compass: The World is a collection for those who believe that every journey begins with a story. Each box is a literary expedition to a different place on the map — from bustling metropolises, through tranquil coastlines, to corners reached only by the most intriguing tales.

We select books that encapsulate the essence of a given country or region: its rhythm, scents, emotions, and way of looking at the world. The included extras create the atmosphere of the journey.

It's an experience that allows you to discover the world slowly, consciously, and with curiosity. For readers who enjoy a book becoming their compass.

This subscription contains books in Polish! For English language literary boxes visit Global Reads collection.
