Par Arthur Miller. 1985
A masterful mix of art, sex, and politics behind the Iron Curtain, by America's greatest dramatist In an unnamed Eastern…
European capital, four writers gather in what was once an archbishop's palace. There is Adrian, a successful American author struggling with questions about a novel he has set in the city, and Marcus, a once-imprisoned radical who has become a darling of the current regime. Finally, there is Sigmund, perhaps the country's greatest living writer, who refuses to compromise his artistic integrity to appease the regime. Between them all is Maya, a poet and actress who has been a mistress and muse to each man. The ornately decorated ceiling above them may or may not be bugged, and the group carefully watches their words as they discuss the play's central dilemma - should Sigmund stay and resist the oppressive state, or should he defect and pursue his art in freedom? Their conversation poses crucial questions about mass surveillance, morality, and the authenticity of art, and remains as relevant today as it was during the height of the Cold War.Specchio rotto: Nebun

Par Arthur Miller. 1992
A bold, vibrant panorama of the Great Depression by "the moral voice of the American stage" (The New York Times)…
Capturing a cross-section of American life in the throes of the Great Depression, The American Clock presents what Miller called "a mural for theatre," based loosely on Stud's Terkel's oral history, Hard Times. It is the story of a single family, Moe and Rose Baum and their son Lee, who lost everything in the crash of '29. When Lee leaves Brooklyn and travels west in search of work, he comes face to face with the true scope of the Depression's devastation and encounters a tapestry of interlocked stories unfolding across a nation in crisis. In a series of vignettes, a vast ensemble of characters sets the Baums' struggles in relief: a shoeshine man, a corporate tycoon, a dispossessed farmer, a struggling prostitute, a young songwriter, and a communist comic-strip artist, among many disparate American identities. All the while, the clock ticks towards a new era in history, and time is running out for the Baums and the America they know.Specchio rotto: Nebun
Par Catalina Jacob, Catia Polverini. 2017
“Saltò. Nessuno sentì le urla precedenti, ma solo l'impatto del suo corpo contro il marciapiede. Tutti guardarono il suo corpo…
inerte a terra. Una pozza cremisi tinse i suoi vestiti. «Era così buona» dicevano tra le lacrime fresche. «Si meritava il cielo», si lamentavano. Ma avevano reso la sua vita un inferno. Ignorando tutte le sue grida, annullando la sua essenza e censurando le sue parole. Ignorata in vita.” Non c'è nessun’altra come Nebun ... infelice e tradita dalla vita; accompagnata dall’indifferenza e abbandonata da chi l’ascoltava. Così inizia la sua avventura verso la libertà, ma la sfortuna la persegue e rimane intrappolata a metà strada. Da sola, più sola che mai. O forse no.La Casa de Playa

la casa, mientras que el otro, impedido por una fuerza invisible, está obligado a dormir en la terraza.

Par Catalina Jacob. 2018
"Pulou. Ninguém escutou os gritos prévios, apenas o impacto do seu corpo contra o pavimento. Ali, todos olhavam seu corpo…
desfigurado no chão. Uma poça carmesim tingiu sua roupa. «Era tão boa» diziam entre lágrimas frescas. «Merecia o céu», lamentavam-se. Porém, de sua vida, haviam feito umo inferno. Ignorando seus gritos prévios, anulando sua essência e censurando suas palavras. Ignorada em vida." Não existe outra como Nebun... infeliz e traída pela vida; acompanhada pela indiferença e abandonada por quem a escutava. Inicia assim a sua aventura até a liberdade, porém, a desgraça a persegue atrapalha boa parte do caminho. Sozinha, mais sozinha do que nunca antes. Ou quem sabe nem tanto.I Moved to Los Angeles to Work in Animation (I Moved to Los Angeles to Work in Animation)

Par Joaquín Sánchez. 2021
JOAQUÍN sabe que la manera de vivir de verdad es VIVIR CON ARTE Todos tenemos algo en común: vivimos lo…
bueno, lo malo, lo peor y lo mejor. A todos nos toca luchar para conseguir lo mejor, sin dejar de disfrutar lo bueno; esforzándonos para pasar lo malo y superar lo peor. Porque de lo más bajo puedes subir a lo más alto... o al revés. Y el secreto de una buena vida siempre está en el mismo lugar: en tu cabeza, ¡y en tus manos! No importa si eres futbolista o trabajas en una oficina, porque todos tenemos nuestra historia. Y esta es la mía. Verás que no es ningún cuento de hadas, sino un día a día de esfuerzo, porque hace tiempo que tomé una decisión: disfrutar del presente y trabajar para el futuro, valorando las cosas buenas y a las personas que quiero. Porque para vivir la vida no basta con respirar. Hay que vivir con arte. «Si has visto alguna vez en tu vida un partido de fútbol, aunque sea por casualidad, te habrás fijado en una cosa: todos los jugadores fallan en alguna jugada o en alguna acción. Todos. Desde el número uno del mundo, hasta el chaval que juega en el recreo del cole. Los fallos y los errores son normales, tanto en la alta competición como en el día a día. Intentar ser perfecto es la excusa para no moverte de tu sitio: "Si no me sale bien, ¿para qué intentarlo?". Pues para conseguir las cosas que quieres, para eso. Porque si no te atreves a fallar, jamás podrás ganar.»Impossible People
Par Julia Wertz. 2023
In her keenly observed graphic memoir, Impossible People, celebrated cartoonist Julia Wertz chronicles her haphazard attempts at sobriety and the relentlessly…
challenging, surprisingly funny, and occasionally absurd cycle of addiction and recovery.Opening at the culmination of a disastrous trip to Puerto Rico, the first page of Impossible People finds Julia standing stupefied in the middle of the jungle beside a rental jeep she's just crashed. From this moment, the story flashes back to the beginning of her five-year journey towards sobriety that includes group therapy sessions, relapses, an ill-fated relationship, terrible dates, and an unceremonious eviction from her New York City apartment. Far from the typical addiction narrative that follows an upward trajectory from rock bottom to rehab to recovery, Impossible People portrays the lesser told but more common story: That the road to recover is not always linear. With unflinching honesty and a healthy dose of humor, Wertz details the arduous, frustrating, and hilarious story of trying and failing and trying again.Fortune and Glory Volume 1
Par Brian Michael Bendis. 2023
Brian Michael Bendis, the New York Times bestselling, Peabody and multi-Eisner award-winning co-creator of Miles Morales, Naomi, Jessica Jones, and…
POWERS tells a comedic life lesson about the horrors of Hollywood.Before his acclaimed relaunches of Superman, Action Comics, and Young Justice...before his triumphant successes with Daredevil, Ultimate Spider-Man, Invincible Iron Man, and Jessica Jones...before his groundbreaking original series Powers, Scarlet, Cover, and Pearl......Brian Michael Bendis was a hungry young cartoonist about to take his first step into the shark-filled swimming pool that is the American motion picture industry. The harsh lessons that he learned along the way—and the unforgettable people that he met—are set down for the ages in Fortune and Glory, his hilarious autobiographical account of Hollywood development hell.Written and illustrated by Bendis and colored by Matthew Wilson, Fortune and Glory invites readers to gaze in wonder at the dizzying varieties of stupidity displayed by studio executives, and to share in the enthralling mood swings and ego nosedives of a small-time comic book creator as he rides the emotional roller coaster of freelance film production.This comprehensive trade paperback edition includes the complete story from the original three-issue miniseries and features an introduction from comics and animation legend Paul Dini as well as a wealth of promotional art and interviews straight from Bendis' archives.

Par Christoph Niemann. 2012
This anthology of the illustrator’s New York Times blog features a chapter of all-new material: “a masterpiece of sophisticated humor”…
(Library Journal, starred review).In July 2008, illustrator and designer Christoph Niemann began Abstract City, a visual blog for the New York Times. His posts were inspired by the desire to re-create simple and everyday observations and stories from his own life that everyone could relate to. In Niemann’s hands, mundane experiences such as riding the subway or trying to get a good night’s sleep were transformed into delightful flights of visual fancy. In Abstract City, the struggle to keep up with housework becomes a battle against adorable but crafty goblins, and nostalgia about New York manifests in simple but strikingly spot-on LEGO creations. This brilliantly illustrated collection of reflections on modern life includes all sixteen of the original blog posts as well as a new chapter created exclusively for the book.Vulnerability Is My Superpower features Jackie Davis's relatable diary comics about self-discovery, mental health, relationships, and childhood. From bouts with…
