In an era of oversharing and digital transparency, Nicola Corlac offers a radical, poetic alternative: intimacy as a fortress. “The Shared Cipher: A Minimalist Cryptography Manual for Lovers” is not just a book; it is a conceptual masterpiece that treats romance as the world’s most exclusive encrypted network.
From Historical Secrets to Modern Rituals
Corlac’s work operates on a fascinating dual frequency. First, it takes us on a journey through the history of clandestine communication. It explores how forbidden lovers and secret allies throughout the centuries used hidden alphabets to bypass prying eyes. It reminds us that cryptography has always been a gesture of protection—an act of devotion.
Then, the book shifts into a practical laboratory for modern couples. It provides a passo a passo (step-by-step) guide to reinventing your private language. Through exercises and rituals, it encourages you to create emotional alphabets and secret signs that exist only between you and your partner.
Scrabble Art: Where Letters Become Connection
What sets this book apart visually is the original Scrabble Art created by Nicola Corlac himself. These minimalist illustrations transform simple wooden tiles into metaphors for human connection, signals, and bodies. It’s a stunning example of how "less is more," mirroring the minimalist philosophy of the manual.
Why It’s the Perfect Gift for 2026

Unconventional Couples: Those who value intellectual depth and shared secrets.
Anniversaries & Valentine's Day: A meaningful alternative to fleeting gifts.
Language Enthusiasts: Anyone fascinated by how signs and silences build intimacy.
“The Shared Cipher” doesn't just tell a story; it gives you the tools to write your own in a code that only two people will ever understand.
