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".

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.

E questo si pensa anche leggendo questi vivi e bellissimi ricordi.

For nearly a decade, Palley has been on the frontline of fire. He has witnessed homeowners on the worst day of their lives. He’s seen puddles of aluminum where cars were once parked. He’s watched as 150-foot walls of flame cascaded down mountainsides and crashed into the Pacific Ocean. And he’s captured, time and again, the tireless commitment of firefighters as they work to save lives and homes, in terrain where fire always seems to have the upper hand.

¿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?

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.
