This Italian graphic designer composed a superb book of 400 pages approximately which are appeared as an encyclopaedic dictionary which offers a very beautiful graphic quality since it very drew: the letters, the graphs, the diagrams and sketch... However, its characteristic lies in the fact that nobody will be able to read it, even the most powerful machine of deciphering for the reason which he invented a completely new writing compared to all those that one could discover. There is thus a book structured and ordered, in which one could rather easily reconstitute the topics approached, and yet he could never be read, but simply looked at and admired. Graphics very are successful. The evoked topics are: gardening, anatomy, mathematics, geometry, hairstyles, cards, machines to be flown, transport, chemical analyses, labyrinth, Babel, costumes, foods... Lastly, this Italian graphic designer (for which Italo Calvino wrote the foreword of the book) introduced a bizarrery: in two contiguous boards some hardly coherent French words. They are only words in this book: (1) " orgiaque girl emerged and guessed, the first day on the dam of Balbeo " " still " " sculptor... to remember... here still " " here... wounded eyes " in bulk then: " to cross, aillor, it is, you, impassioned, USA, well, to believe, I, belief, by " Why these some words, and why in French? They are in the chapter " writing " where one sees a man sitting in a rocking chair, roller skates with the feet, and a right arm finishing instead of a hand by the low part of a pen plucks. It writes on a table with sheets squared of the words (1). With with dimensions of the large bottle of opened ink, letters, and words fall. On the new page, the man is laid down by ground, is stabbed by a pen plucks; all is reversed.
