Inspiration
"Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius" is a short story by the 20th-century Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges. The story was first published in the Argentinian journal Sur, May 1940. The "postscript" dated 1947 is intended to be anachronistic, set seven years in the future. The first English-language translation of the story was published in 1961. The story focuses on the author's discovery of the mysterious and possibly fictional country of Uqbar and its legend of Tlön, a mythical world whose inhabitants believe a form of subjective idealism, denying the reality of objects and nouns, as well as Orbis Tertius, the secret organization that created both fictional locations.​
Each volume is composed by a selection of pieces from the collective knowledge, crossed and guided by an arbitrary paradigm as starting point. The true purpose is but an excuse to honour the foundations we have forged and preserved through history.​
Time is an ilusión and irrelevant to the true Nature of mankind. As such, the threads connecting each volume is a-synchronical and doesn't answer to time or its logic.
A small hope lays behind this humble exercise, to spark your curiosity and captivate your attention as the volumes unfold, keeping the wondrous flame of our heritage burning bright.
