Here to make known those odd unknown pieces of experimental literature that can't be described with words:

Codex_Seraphinianus : The Codex Seraphinianus is a book written and illustrated by the Italian architect and industrial designer Luigi Serafini during thirty months, from 1976 to 1978.The book is approximately 360 pages long (depending on edition), and appears to be a visual encyclopedia of an unknown world, written in one of its languages, an incomprehensible (at least for us) alphabetic writing.

Voynich_Manuscript : The Voynich manuscript is a mysterious illustrated book written in an indecipherable text. It is thought to have been written between approximately 1450 and 1520. The author, script and language of the manuscipt remain unknown.

Over its recorded existence, the Voynich manuscript has been the object of intense study by many professional and amateur cryptographers, including some top American and British codebreakers of World War II fame (all of whom failed to decrypt a single word). This string of failures has turned the Voynich manuscript into a famous subject of historical cryptology, but it has also given weight to the theory that the book is simply an elaborate hoax — a meaningless sequence of arbitrary symbols.

The book is named after the Polish-American book-dealer Wilfrid M. Voynich, who acquired it in 1912. As of 2005, the Voynich manuscript is item MS 408 in the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library of Yale University. The first facsimile edition was published in 2005


Urville: From the Gilles Trehin: "I'm told I have autism, some say I have Asperger's syndrome (it's very similar). Maybe it is the reason I have been drawing since the age of 5 and I have always been fascinated by big cities and aeroplanes.

In 1984, I started to be interested by the conception of an imaginary city called Urville. The name came from "Dumont d'Urville", a scientific base, in a French territory of the Antarctic. Since then, I made many (200) drawings of Urville, and I wrote a historical, geographical, cultural and economic description. I also have a book published by Jessica Kingsley Publisher in English, about Urville in March 2006"

The Story of the Vivian Girls, in What is known as the Realms of the Unreal, of the Glandeco-Angelinnian War Storm, Caused by the Child Slave Rebellion: The longest novel ever written with more than fifteen thousand pages without including water colors paints done for around 50 years about a world where small girls rebels against atheist child-exploiters in a world with only two countries

Voynich_Manuscript -

After reading your post, I looked up Voynich on Wkipedia, and now, I'm just waiting for this Voynich Manuscript to make it's appearance on LOST.

It is interesting though, even if it does give one a severe case of tired-head

Not only the language, that looks like Sindarin, but also the illustrations doesn't make sense. None of them are real flowers, but compounds of real flowers into one. Some of them undiscovered to suspected written time. There is also a reference that make it related to Leonardo Da Vinci, apparently Leonardo's birthday appears on the astrology section...
