Le mani che si bloccano sulla tastiera di un pianoforte e si rifiutano di suonare, durante un concerto in Giappone. Una crisi di ansia, una contrattura di ogni muscolo, persino quelli della creatività. Che succede? Per venirne a capo, il protagonista di questo libro si rifugia in una casa di campagna. Solo, circondato da una natura brulla, tenta di sintonizzare di nuovo mente e corpo, per riprendere a comporre e suonare, ma gli incubi lo perseguitano e l'incertezza aumenta. Finché un giorno, nel silenzio di una radura, una voce lo prega: "Accudiscimi".

Eine Biografie. Ausgerechnet von Atze Schröder! Ja, nee, is´klar. Die Comedy-Legende mit dem losen Mundwerk und dem großen Herzen. Keiner haut die Sprüche schneller raus als der Lockenträger aus Essen-Kray. Kein Klischee ist ihm fremd: „Liebling der Frauen“, „der Kumpel im 911er“, der „prollige Kioskbesitzer aus dem Ruhrgebiet“! Seit über 20 Jahren steht Atze Schröder auf dem Matterhorn der Comedy. Und alle wollen wissen, wie die Welt hinter den Gläsern der blaugetönten Alpina-Pilotenbrille aussieht.

L'ultima vita di Carmelo Bene. Dobbiamo essere grati a Luisa Viglietti – scrive Goffredo Fofi – di averci restituito un Carmelo Bene quotidiano, semplice e vicino ma pur sempre diverso e anzi unico: gli ultimi anni di un grande artista, attivo e progettante fino agli estremi momenti di una vita densissima. Disse qualcuno, e sapeva di dire un paradosso ma intuendone la verità, che spesso si impara di più leggendo le vite dei grandi filosofi di quanto non si impari leggendo le loro opere. E questo si pensa anche leggendo questi vivi e bellissimi ricordi.

Self-Portrait reveals a life truly lived through art. In this intimate short smemoir, Celia Paul moves effortlessly through time in words and images, folding in her past and present selves. From her move to the Slade School of Fine Art at 16, through a profound and intense affair with the older and better-known artist Lucian Freud, to the practises of her present-day studio, she meticulously assembles the surprising, beautiful, haunting scenes of a life.

What does it mean to create, not in "a room of one's own," but in a domestic space? Do children and genius rule each other out? In The Baby on the Fire Escape, Julie Phillips traverses the shifting terrain where motherhood and creativity converge. With fierce empathy and vivid prose, Phillips evokes the intimate struggles of brilliant artists and writers, including Doris Lessing, Ursula K. Le Guin, Audre Lorde, and Alice Neel. A meditation on maternal identity and artistic greatness, Phillips illuminates some of the most pressing conflicts in contemporary women's lives. 

Jackson Pollock was without a doubt one of the twentieth century’s most controversial painters. He started out painting abstracts in the style of Pablo Picasso but soon branched out, establishing the “drip” method, which entails dripping or flinging paint directly onto the canvas. For this, he was both praised and demonized; still, he persisted on his own chosen path.

Harvey Kurtzman created Mad, and Mad revolutionized humor in America. Kurtzman was the original editor, artist, and sole writer of Mad, one of the greatest publishing successes of the twentieth century. But how did Kurtzman invent Mad, and why did he leave it shortly after it burst, nova-like, onto the American scene? For this heavily researched biography, Bill Schelly conducted new interviews with Kurtzman’s colleagues, friends, and family, including Hugh Hefner, R. Crumb, Jack Davis, and many others, and examined Kurtzman’s personal archives.

¿Qué singular parábola ocurrió para que un chico de un inquilinato de Valentín Alsina tuviera a los 22 años a América bajo la suela de sus zapatos? ¿Qué clase de invención es la de ese galán crepuscular que seducía en un escenario hasta conectado a tubos de oxígeno? ¿Qué tipo de epopeya encarna? ¿Qué extraño coraje tuvo para decidir someterse a un trasplante que fue, al fin, su último gesto de dignidad? ¿Cuál fue la máscara, la de Sandro o la de Roberto Sánchez?
