The subject of the research reported here deals with the integrated use of verbal and nonverbal narratives in a literature book, which make possible the graphic contextualization as important as its literary text. It had as a guiding question the sensoriality of the physical book that, in face of the advances of technology and the emergence of different reading supports, generate new editorial parameters for present and future generations. S. - The ship of Theseus, a fiction literature book with no defined censorship rating, was studied as an exemplary case because of its unconventional design that allows the construction of the nonverbal narrative imbricated with the textual narrative, intensifying the experience and the immersion while reading. Initially, this research embarked on the design and design process of S. - The ship of Theseus presenting an exclusive interview with American designer Paul Kepple and Brazilian designer Antonio Rhoden; navigated in the varied signs used in the design of the book and the ephemeris, their articulations and meanings through semiotics and in the visual-verbal narrative, demonstrating how the choices of graphic design are articulated by creating associative inference mechanisms. And, finally, it confirmed its singularitiy, concluding that editorial design becomes fundamental in the productive chain of the book. From the professionals of this field is required the pertinence and the commitment to provide the necessary sensorial and interactive contributions to the diverse reading supports that promote the production of meaning and immersion in a story.
