PENDRAGON 2000 206 PP. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO. PARI AL NUOVO, PERFETTO E INTONSO. Pittore, filosofo, regista e romanziere, Pierre Klossowski (1905) è scomparso a Parigi nell'estate del 2001. Grande intellettuale del Novecento, su di lui in Italia è stato scritto molto poco, forse perché la sua estrema poliedricità ne ha fatto il più “inclassificabile” dei pensatori contemporanei. In questo volume l’autore mette in evidenza che i suoi ispiratori sono senz’altro Sade e Nietzsche, veri e proprio alter ego klossowskiani, nel loro tentativo di giungere ai limiti estremi del pensiero. Limite a cui Klossowski tende costantemente, proseguendo nella strada da loro tracciata, con la sua riflessione sulle forme (linguaggio, corpo, immagine...) e sulla necessità di scavarle e superarle. Prigione e varco al tempo stesso, le forme ci consentono una doppia possibilità: quella di rimanerne alla superficie, sulla loro soglia, o di andare oltre, immergendoci in esse – come fa Narciso quando vede la sua immagine riflessa sull'acqua – per vederne l’ambiguità, noi stessi. Klossowski quindi si occupa innanzitutto di conoscenza e, attraverso la conoscenza, di metafisica: è quanto afferma Brivio definendolo “uno degli ultimi metafisici occidentali”. Guido Brivio (1971) è studioso di storia delle religioni e filosofia. Oltre a diversi articoli, traduzioni e interventi, ha curato e tradotto l'ultima opera di Pierre Klossowski, L'adolescente immortale (Bollati Boringhieri, 1997). La caduta di Narciso è il suo primo volume, elaborazione dall'omonima tesi di laurea discussa nel 1997 con il prof. Gianni Vattimo.

ill., br. Nel 1977 un timido adolescente con una voluminosa pettinatura e un sacco di grinta e determinazione firmò un contratto con una casa discografica. Nel corso dei vent'anni successivi sarebbe diventato uno degli artisti più significativi della musica di fine millennio, un artista che avrebbe cambiato il volto stesso della cultura popolare. Ha attraversato le barriere che separano i popoli e i sessi, scrivendo più di mille canzoni sull'argomento. Ha creato un sound tutto nuovo, basato su un originalissimo crossover di stili, guadagnandosi la reputazione di live performer da leggenda. Liz Jones entra nelle segrete stanze di Paisley Park per un'intervista esclusiva nella quale Prince parla con franchezza della propria personale battaglia contro l'industria discografica, delle amanti, degli affetti e del modo in cui realizza musica. Numerose interviste a membri della sua famiglia, amici, colleghi musicisti, produttori, ballerini e manager gettano nuova luce su quella che è l'icona forse maggiormente fraintesa e di certo più sfuggente dei nostri tempi. Molti anni dopo, e a oltre cinque dalla sua morte, l'uomo che un tempo si faceva chiamare Prince fa ancora notizia.

ill., br. "What happened, Miss Simone?" è la storia di una bambina nera del Sud che inseguì un talento prodigioso e divenne Nina Simone; di Nina Simone imprevedibile e tormentata, che attraversò il proprio tempo e divenne la Sacerdotessa del soul; del soul che rincorse le sue dita sul piano, tra le fughe di Bach e il cuore del blues; è la vita e la leggenda di una donna che marciò con Luther King e MalcolmX, che cantò orgoglio e segregazione, che fece piangere e ballare. È la storia di una voce profonda e oscura, di una voce brutale e sincera che parlava d'amore e scagliava accuse, di una donna incapace di chiedere scusa, del suo disturbo mentale, di occhi severi e solitudine; della meraviglia di "Sinnerman", della rabbia di "Mississippi Goddam". Alan Light scrive la biografia più completa dedicata a Nina Simone: dall'esordio a dieci anni - in cui si rifiutò di suonare finché i suoi genitori non poterono sedersi con i bianchi - ai trionfi della Carnegie Hall, dal sogno di diventare una grande pianista classica alla consacrazione pop con il successo planetario di "My Baby Just Cares for Me". Nato come arricchimento dell'omonimo documentario candidato all'Oscar, con documenti nuovi e inediti, "What happened, Miss Simone?" insegue, tra le cadute e i trionfi, il fantasma di una regina del jazz che visse con la stessa ruvida autenticità il suo tempo, la sua razza e il suo sesso, amò molti uomini, fu picchiata dal marito e oppresse sua figlia.

In questo libro troverete la storia e il ritratto di Alma Mahler, una donna straordinaria che, e qui sta l'originalità della sua figura, è stata oggetto di studi, ricerche e curiosità non per quello che ha fatto, non per le capacità intellettuali e creative, che pure possedeva, non perché abbia dato un contributo diretto alla storia dell'emancipazione femminile, né perché, inusualmente per il suo sesso, abbia conquistato qualche forma di potere, ma perché amò e fu amata da uomini geniali che hanno fatto gran parte della storia, della cultura e dell'arte del '900. E perché da quegli uomini, Gustav Mahler, Gustav Klimt Walter Gropius, Oskar Kokoschka, Franz Werfel, è stata considerata la musa ispiratrice, senza la quale non sarebbero stati capaci di esprimere completamente la loro genialità. Autori: Luisella Cassetta Giustinelli.
