Ademas, tambien es una breve critica del Coran que procede de un buscador de la verdad.

"Pocas mentes hay tan brillantes como la de Fede Popgold.Las historias que conforman este libro son reales no porque hayan ocurrido necesariamente, sino porque nacen de la verdad de la mente y el corazon creativos de Fede. El siempre siente que hay mas para explorar; su mirada esta adelantada, en lo que viene, en lo que se puede crear.Los textos de este libro son reales, desprejuiciados, profundos, divertidos. No solo seran un hermoso espejo para los coetaneos, sino tambien un buen mapa para los adultos que deseen escuchar.Fede pasa por todos los temas de interes y analisis del mundo en que se vive a los 30, un mundo que compartimos a veces sin preguntar o acercarnos demasiado.Pero Fede es cercania.Escribe como habla y ese es su enorme poder, el de no disfrazar nada detras de alguna metafora conveniente" (Pata Liberati).

"El elemento central que atraviesa a los artistas que figuran en este libro es que han sido transformados por la guerra", subraya el periodista y editor de CNN en Español, Germán Padinger, y completa: "sus transformaciones han sido publicas y han tenido un impacto en sus comunidades y en sus obras". A traves de un recorrido por el arte de Hemingway, Picasso, Debussy y Riefenstahl, entre otros artistas, Padinger analiza de que manera fue representada la guerra por la literatura, la pintura, la musica y el cine, entre 1914 y 1945.

En el instante en que abres este libro, un niño te toma de la mano guiándote hacia el gran vestíbulo de un teatro. Desde allí puedes oír ecos de instrumentos musicales, voces modulando, los murmullos del publico. De pronto todo se interrumpe y sobreviene un silencio expectante. Se levanta el telon y desde tu butaca ves el perfil de una ciudad situada junto a un ancho rio. Un reflector dirige la luz a alguien que habla y rie sentado en el taburete de un piano, tocando unas notas. En ese instante comienza la historia Quien te llevo hasta alli es el hijo de ese señor que juega con el teclado. En torno a esa figura paterna van apareciendo actrices y actores cuya tarea es entretener al publico, dando vida a una historia contada en 21 cuadros. Cada cuadro lleva el nombre de una calle que indica el sitio donde las cosas ocurren. Alli actuan otros personajes que forman parte del elenco: tios, abuelos, actrices, actores, compositores, celebridades, politicos. El relato va revelando las razones por las que ese grupo de artistas creadores de espectaculos, se ven obligados a suspender sus proyectos y emigrar hacia nuevos escenarios, nuevas calles, otros rios. Lo que leeras es veridico y a la vez una parabola formada con escenas reales de la historia del espectaculo en Argentina y Mexico, que mucho vale la pena evocar y recordar. Al menos eso es lo que piensa ese niño, que ya de grande se dedica a contarla en este libro que tienes frente a ti.

One of the attractions of painting outdoors is the challenge of capturing the spirit of a place changing light, weather and transient conditions demand particular painting skills if they are to be interpreted effectively. Leading painter David Curtis works on location, in all weathers, observing and capturing the subtle effects of light and mood. Oil paint is as good for painting on site as it is for large-scale painting in the studio; it is remarkably responsive; can be applied in many different ways; and it allows time to assess and modify work in progress. In this fascinating book, David Curtis shows how he achieves such expressive and original results using drawings, paintings and stage-by-stage examples. He gives detailed explanations of his two main working methods for plein-air paintings and for studio compositions as well as plenty of helpful guidance and advice on choosing materials, exploring techniques, selecting ideas, composition, colour and tone and associated topics. Drawing skills and interpreting the qualities of light are other key issues that he deals with, while his wonderfully evocative landscapes, coastal scenes, interiors and figure compositions provide much inspiration.

With over 180 stunning illustrations, this is a book that all fans of science fiction, biology and science will enjoy, and that will inspire artists to think beyond the limitations of our own planet.Major works on speculative biology are rare but Furaha is a welcome addition to the genre and gives a well-considered account of life on another planet, along with stunning illustrations. This is a must-read book, which I heartily recommend. ~ Dougal Dixon The father of speculative zoology

After Kurt Cobains passing in 1994, everyone expected Evan Dando to be next. The Lemonheads frontman, songwriter and actor started in the 80s hardcore scene and went on to become a 90s icon. Think of Evan Dando, and you think of heroin chic, grunge and celebrity burnout. Perhaps known as much for his partying and boyish good looks, after two gold records and the kind of fame that you just cant enjoy anymore, The Lemonheads cooled off and life went on.Dando grew up in Boston, the son of a lawyer and a model, and attended the prestigious Commonwealth School. Fame was never what motivated him but the lure of the wild life proved trickier to refuse. From sneaking into concerts as a child, to sleeping on floors in the punk rock days, to crashing at Johnny Depps place in Hollywood, he was right there in the thick of it. So much so that social media once reported his death.Now, very much alive, sober, and enjoying a life in South America when hes not on the road, Evan Dando is going to tell his own story. His memoir will remind readers what was so great about the pre-internet 90s: the innocence, the access, and the anonymity. Reclaiming the purity and exuberance of his early days and encapsulating the spirit of the era, this candid autobiography presents a portrait of an artist who lives wholly for his music, and one that makes no apologies for doing so.
