ill., br. La regina del pop è la protagonista di un picture book che ripercorre per immagini coloratissime la sua vita. Appare chiaro il percorso di Madonna, fatto di intuizioni, contrasti, scelte a volte difficili, grandi sacrifici e in testa un solo obiettivo: diventare una cantante unica. Professionista rigorosa, camaleontica e sempre all'avanguardia, Madonna è responsabile di una svolta epocale nella discografia mondiale: con lei è nato il fenomeno della star, non solo una cantante affermata, ma l'incarnazione di un messaggio, nel suo caso l'emancipazione - anche sessuale - della donna. Sylvia K interpreta la storia di successo di Madonna attraverso immagini ispirate alla Pop Art e ai cartoni americani, con intuizioni fantasiose e molto creative.
ill., br. Come fa la cheerleader più esibizionista del liceo a diventare la donna più famosa nel mondo dello showbusiness? Il libro di Mary Cross analizza le varie vicende biografiche - educazione, amanti, matrimonio, maternità, carriera senza riuscire a rispondere alla domanda "who's that girl". Chi è davvero Madonna? Forse è proprio questo suo atteggiamento ambiguo che ha contribuito a creare la star, la persona reale tende così a dissolversi tra le tante "maschere" da lei create, un atteggiamento che ha fatto scuola nello show business. L'edizione italiana è "illustrata" da opere inedite dei seguenti artisti: Matteo Bergamasco, Stefano Cumia, Luca del Baldo, Davide La Rocca, Roberta Savelli e Virginia Zanetti.

br. L'attitudine che ognuno di noi possiede all'ascolto della musica, l'interesse che ci muove ad ascoltare un artista piuttosto che un altro, la disponibilità ad ascoltare quella canzone e non quell'altra, può essere considerato, con ottime ragioni, come l'espressione manifesta di un proprio tratto di personalità, in altre parole il modo singolare con cui si compie un'azione nel tempo, in modo del tutto indipendente dai contesti e dalle situazioni della propria vita. In questo senso ascoltare musica accompagna il processo o meglio i processi che, step by step, contribuiscono alla formazione del nostro mondo interno. Scegliere di ascoltare musica in un luogo pubblico o da soli, in compagnia di alcuni amici per lungo tempo oppure per un lasso di tempo breve, scegliere un determinato genere musicale da approfondire, mette di solito in evidenza come la nostra mente, il nostro corpo e il nostro vissuto diventino insieme una specie di «cassa di risonanza» più o meno ricca di significati. Gli autori, in un percorso che tocca psicologia, fede e canzoni che hanno segnato la storia, hanno immaginato la musica come un esercizio spirituale, per scendere in profondità laddove sembra inimmaginabile, per consentirci di immergerci all'interno di un nucleo intimo e prezioso che prende il nome di inconscio. "Il tentativo di questo testo è fornire uno sguardo diverso facendolo diventare uno sguardo benedicente, cioè capace di saper coglierne il bene. Sono certo che molti faranno tesoro di quanto qui è contenuto e spero vivamente che si lascino contagiare dal metodo e dalla passione che ne traspare" (Don Luigi Maria Epicoco).
br. Poliedrico e caleidoscopico come un albero dai cento fiori diversi, Gianfranco Manfredi ha scritto un libro sulla storia del big bang di quaranta anni fa. "Ma chi ha detto che non c'è" è uno zibaldone di riflessioni concetti che esplora le bellezze e angoli più oscuri di un anno converso, in un confronto serrato con vicende avvenute. Sono affreschi letterari che traggono ispirazione dalla sua famosa canzone, scritti in una prospettiva storica senza mai limitare lo guardo ai cliché o alle ideologie, senza perdere l'ironia e la tenerezza che caratterizzano l'intera opera di Manfredi. Sono percorsi inediti alla ricerca di ciò che si presume non ci sia, ma che in realtà sta nel fondo dei tuoi occhi, sulla punta delle labbra... Ma anche dentro la nube tossica di Seveso o nel funerale di Mao, nell'esplosione del punk o nella testa del reverendo Jim Jones, nelle contraddizioni tra la guerriglia urbana, l'ala creativa del movimento e la galassia della musica alt(r)a. Sta nella provocazione, nel lavoro della talpa, nel femminismo e in Porci con le ali, nella nascita dell'impero del porno e nella febbre del sabato sera. Sta nella battaglia antinucleare e nel blackout di New York, nelle radio libere, in Sandokan, in Ken Parker di Berardi-Milazzo e nel Pentothal di Andrea Pazienza. Sta in tanti di questi odori, forme e colori diversi riuniti in una radice comune da una stesura autoriale.
ill., br. Bob Dylan incarna da più di mezzo secolo lo spirito dell'America - e per suo tramite lo spirito del mondo. I suoi testi, fusi con le musiche cui hanno dato anima e senso, hanno generato canzoni che sono diventate le fondamenta di un sogno collettivo. I tre volumi di "Lyrics" raccolgono tutta la produzione poetica di questa voce inimitabile e inconfondibile, organizzandola cronologicamente e arricchendola di una traduzione e un apparato di note, entrambi a cura di Alessandro Carrera, che non hanno eguali per finezza e capillarità nel panorama mondiale.
