A surreal book by Luigi Serafini that presents itself as an anthropological study of an imaginary land in a made-up language.
It came out in the 1970's, but there have been several reprintings. Unfortunately, it's still too extravagantly priced ($500+).
There are no translations of this made-up language, although it does follow a specific pattern. Serafini never commented on whether the language was intelligible. Some people think they can translate it, but they're probably full of shit.
The flowery writing style draws a lot of comparisons to a never-translated text "The Voynich Manuscript"

To me, it seems like the same idea, but what do I know?
