Il volume presenta i testi di Valerio Adami (Referto), una conversazione di Amelia Valtolina con Valerio Adami (Nulla dies sine linea), Emilio Tadini (Valerio Adami), Enrico Crispolti (Adami), Alain Jouffroy (Valerio Adami); seguono il catalogo delle opere suddivise per anni (1956-1960; 1961; 1962; 1963) e la biografia dell'artista a cura di Amelia Valtolina. Valerio Adami (1935) nasce a Bologna, ma è a Milano negli anni di guerra. I suoi primi disegni sono disegni di rovine: le case devastate dai bombardamenti. L'atelier di Felice Carena, poi l'incontro a Venezia con Oskar Kokoschka e in seguito l'Accademia di Brera con Achille Funi, sono stati il suo itinerario di formazione. Nel '58 inizia quella vita di viaggi che lo porterà a vivere e lavorare in diverse città d'Europa, negli Stati Uniti, in America Latina, in Israele, in India, e a intrecciare nuove amicizie: lo scrittore Carlos Fuentes, il filosofo Jacques Derrida, i pittori Saul Steinberg, Richard Lindner e Matta, Octavio Paz, Italo Calvino, Luciano Berio sono parte di questa cerchia intellettuale. Dal 1970 lavora in esclusiva con la galleria Maeght."

Opera visionaria di critica letteraria in cui si sostiene e si dimostra la tesi che il vero autore delle commedie di Shakespeare sia in realtà Francis Bacon; nel primo libro si studiano i due personaggi separatamente e nel tesro capitolo i parallelismi nelle metafore, espressioni, opinioni, studi, errori, uso di parole desuete, stile. Il secondo volume contiene la ricerca della cifra ritrovata nelle opere di Shakespeare che dimostra definitivamente secondo l’autore la sua teoria ingegniosa. Ignatius Donnelly (1831-1901) politico e saggista americano, rimase anche noto per le sue teorie su Atlantide. shakespeare bacon crittografia criptography
