br. Jean Guitton incontrò Marthe Robin per caso, accompagnando da lei il suo amico ateo, il medico e filosofo Couchoud. Rimase folgorato dal genio di questa umile contadina, che, dal suo letto di dolore e di malattia, illuminava e consigliava le migliaia di persone che venivano a lei attratte dalla sua testimonianza. L'amicizia tra Marthe Robin e Jean Guitton durerà venticinque anni, fino alla morte di Marthe. Ed è proprio questa amicizia che dà autorevolezza alla biografia attraverso la quale l'autore evidenzia e guida a comprendere l'esperienza mistica di Marthe e le sue manifestazioni fisiche collocate all'interno di un orizzonte storico, filosofico, evolutivo e spirituale.

ill., ril. L'11 agosto 2014 Robin Williams, attore premio Oscar e comico di fama internazionale, si toglie la vita nella sua casa di Tiburon, in California. Il mondo è sotto shock, nessuno riesce a spiegarsi - tranne forse pochi intimi quali possano essere le cause di un gesto così estremo. Nei giorni successivi si scoprirà che Williams aveva a lungo combattuto una battaglia impari contro la depressione e le dipendenze. Chi lo ha conosciuto è rimasto folgorato dall'esuberanza incontenibile e dalla sensibilità di un uomo che è stato in grado di far ridere intere generazioni di spettatori. Un vero genio della risata, passato dagli spettacoli di cabaret ai red carpet e alle produzioni milionarie senza mai perdere la sua inesauribile vena comica; nel corso degli anni l'attore ha interpretato con successo numerosi ruoli, spaziando dalla commedia al genere drammatico. Per tutti Robin Williams è stato una presenza rassicurante, sempre generosa, capace di regalare un sorriso anche nei momenti di difficoltà e per questo motivo la sua scomparsa appare ancora più dolorosa e irreparabile. Dietro tanta ironia e tanta energia si nascondeva un uomo fragile e indifeso, inseguito da incubi e paure. Il volume di Emily Herbert celebra la vita e la carriera di un artista che ha fatto sorridere il mondo intero.

ill., br. Questo libro è soprattutto un atto d'amore nei confronti di due nomi popolari ma al tempo stesso dotati di vaste zone di penombra. Lewis e Williams vengono accostati con alcuni indubbi parallelismi (la "serietà" dei loro ultimi lavori, ad esempio, oppure l'essere costretti a esibire in pubblico almeno una parte del repertorio per il quale erano noti al grande pubblico), ma in questa direzione non si insiste più di tanto. Anche perché questi autori non consentono una sintesi del fenomeno della comicità autoriale hollywoodiana: hanno traiettorie molto personali, hanno origini diverse, non hanno fatto scuola, non provengono dalla scuola. Ecco, Robin e Jerry sono di fatto due macchine celibi. Possono essere autori di performances straordinarie (fa molto piacere che per Lewis si ricordi lo straordinario One More Time e per Williams la definizione struggente di "serial Killer" fornita da Terry Gilliam in un necrologio sorprendente e struggente) che possono a loro volta richiamare altre performances, ma rimangono completamente unici e irripetibili. Queste vite parallele del terzo millennio ci propongono due autori dei quali pensiamo di sapere molto e che invece ci accorgiamo di conoscere solo superficialmente. Merito di un lavoro veramente approfondito, in cui la passione e la scientificità non si elidono ma si arricchiscono a vicenda. Cosa rara, nella saggistica cinematografica. Prefazione di Steve Della Casa.
