"Among the doctrines of Tlön, none has occasioned greater scandal than the doctrine of materialism. Some thinkers have formulated it with less clarity than zeal, as one might put forward a paradox."

The volume stages a text passage from "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius" by Jorge Luis Borges (Spanish original and a German, English and French translation). The volume uses the form of a quiz book. For example: at first sight one has the impression, that for a certain question there is a selection of different answers and one can mark the right answer with a cross. But actually the answers have all the same meaning, are just set up in different languages. To the typographical guessing game with Borges’ text, some pictures of people or associativ motifs are added, which "illustrate" the text. Design, handset and letterpress: Peter Malutzki. Illustrations printed with polymer-plates. Bookprinting paper, 84 pages, printed linen-over-board cover. Flörsheim am Main 2005.
