In the last two decades, a bizarre and violent musical subculture called Black Metal has emerged in Norway. Its roots stem from a heady blend of horror movies, heavy metal music, Satanism, Paganism, and adolescent angst. In the early-mid 1990s, members of this extremist underground committed murder, burned down medieval wooden churches, and desecrated graveyards. What started as juvenile frenzy came to symbolize the start of a war against Christianity, a return to the worship of the ancient Norse gods, and the complete rejection of mainstream society.American documentary photographer Peter Beste has spent the last eight years working in the milieu of this insulated and secretive community. Bestes access and insight has been absolutely without precedent, resulting in an amazing photographic journey.

Per tutto il mondo era la Divina. Al successo artistico di Maria Callas fece pero sempre da contrappasso una vita privata negletta e sfortunata. Fra le sue ferite piu dolorose, il contrastato amore per il potentissimo Aristotele Onassis. Un amore da fiaba, tumultuoso e malato, che presto fece i conti con la spregiudicatezza dell'armatore greco, con il quale Maria concepi anche un figlio, tenuto sempre segreto dalla coppia. Fino alla morte a Parigi, dove si era ritirata, depressa e sola, in una triste clausura. A cent'anni dalla nascita, esce in una nuova edizione ampliata il romanzo sulla sua avventurosa e travagliata esistenza, un libro divenuto gia un classico che ha conquistato moltissimi lettori in Italia e nel mondo. A firmarlo Alfonso Signorini, nelle vesti di appassionato melomane e documentato biografo. La passione per la Callas ha condotto l'autore a visionare amorevolmente centinaia di lettere autografe che la Divina vergava in brutta copia prima di inviarle agli amici piu cari o, in numerosi casi, a se stessa, in una sorta di intimo diario. Partendo da questo materiale inedito e di grande rilevanza, Signorini e riuscito ad abbandonare i sentieri consueti della biografia per avventurarsi nella ricostruzione della vita della leggendaria cantante: un romanzo in cui accanto alla Callas rivivono icone senza tempo come Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, Marlene Dietrich In questa edizione ampliata, Signorini approfondisce alcuni episodi della vita della Divina: gli esordi al conservatorio di Atene, la tournee in Sudamerica negli anni Cinquanta, il rapporto con Pier Paolo Pasolini e Luchino Visconti, e ancora il sodalizio artistico e sentimentale con Giuseppe Di Stefano. Troppo fiera, troppo fragile racconta una storia tragica di amore e di morte, spesso segnata da presenze inquietanti e invisibili che prendono corpo per la prima volta in queste pagine. Un romanzo appassionante, in cui la Callas assume le sembianze delle eroine a cui, per tutta la sua vita artistica, presto voce, anima e cuore.

"Caetano is likely to be remembered as one of the ''60''s great composers, period."-New York Times Book Review. Rebelling against the Elvis-based, American-imported rock scene in late ''60s Brazil, Caetano Veloso suffused lyrical Brazilian folksongs with fuzz guitar, avant-jazz, and electronic music-and in doing so blew apart the status quo of Brazilian culture. Caetano and the movement he catalyzed, tropicalia , urged an adoption of personal freedom in politics, music, and lifestyle. His "rabble-rousing," as the government saw it, would get Caetano and his comrade Gilberto Gil arrested and exiled to London to wait out the military dictatorship. His fame increasing by the year, Caetano focused on writing songs about his homeland, returning to Brazil as a national hero-a mantle he still wears today. His most recent album, Live in Bahia , was released to international critical and popular acclaim.
