Hija de uno de los mayores mitos de Estados Unidos y criada en el territorio salvaje de Graceland, Lisa Marie Presley cuenta por primera vez su historia en estas memorias sinceras, conmovedoras y totalmente unicas, fielmente completadas por su hija, Riley Keough. En 2022, Lisa Marie Presley le pidio a su hija que la ayudase a terminar las memorias que tanto tiempo llevaba preparando. Un mes despues, Lisa Marie fallecia, dejando al mundo sin la posibilidad de escuchar su historia en sus propias palabras. Nunca llegarian a descubrir a la mujer apasionada, alegre, cariñosa y complicada que Riley tanto queria y añoraba. Riley recogio las cintas que su madre habia grabado para el libro, se tumbo en su cama, y escucho a Lisa Marie contar historia tras historia sobre como solian estrellar coches de golf en los jardines de Graceland, sobre el amor incondicional que le profesaba su padre, sobre el tiempo que pasaban en la planta de arriba, solos los dos. Y sobre como tuvieron que sacarla a la fuerza del cuarto de baño mientras corria chillando hacia su cuerpo, inerte en el suelo. Sobre su vida con su madre en Los Angeles, donde pasaba de un colegio a otro, acumulando expulsiones, siempre metida en lios. Sobre la especial relacion con Danny Keough, que se prolongo durante toda su vida, sobre su matrimonio con Michael Jackson y todo lo que tenian en comun. Sobre la maternidad. Sobre los abismos de la adiccion. Sobre la tristeza que la acechaba constantemente. Riley supo que tenia que cumplir el deseo de su madre y compartir esos recuerdos, incandescentes y dolorosos, con el mundo. Para permitir que la conozcamos por fin. Este libro extraordinario esta compuesto tanto de la voz de Lisa Marie como de la de Riley, una madre y una hija comunicandose incluso despues de la muerte para intentar curarse la una a la otra. Profundamente conmovedora e intensamente reveladora, Desde aqui a lo desconocido es una obra inigualable: las ultimas palabras de la unica hija de una autentica leyenda.

Desde su prometedor arranque en 1984 hasta su abrupto final en 1996, Héroes del Silencio encarnaron el rol de estrellas de rock hasta sus últimas consecuencias. Aquellos cuatro chicos de Zaragoza se atrevieron a soñar y a cumplir sus sueños: conciertos multitudinarios, grabaciones en Londres y Los Angeles, giras internacionales, millones de fans... Sus impactantes canciones, un verdadero soplo de aire fresco en el pop-rock estatal de la epoca, se convirtieron en himnos generacionales y consiguieron traspasar nuestras fronteras, siendo coreadas a lo largo de Europa, America y hasta Asia en lo que supuso un exito sin precedentes para un grupo de habla hispana. Casi treinta años despues de su separacion, sus seguidores siguen idolatrandolos y esperando un regreso que solo se cumplio de forma puntual en 2007. En "Heroes del Silencio: La chispa adecuada", el periodista y musico leganense Jesus Casañas se sumerge de lleno en la singular historia de la banda y en su musica, en sus origenes y evolucion a lo largo de una decada. Recopila y contrasta todo lo que se ha escrito de ellos para construir un relato periodistico unico a traves de entrevistas, reportajes, criticas, cronicas, documentales y comunicados de prensa; esta historia documental es el telon de fondo sobre el que se analiza la trayectoria de la banda disco a disco, cancion a cancion, donde se analizan armonias, letras, arreglos, instrumentos, produccion...; y presta ademas atencion a sus lanzamientos discograficos (oficiales y no oficiales): singles, albumes, discos piratas, reediciones, recopilatorios, videografia... Los ultimos capitulos estan dedicados a Enrique Bunbury, por lo que sera la primera minibiografia artistica dedicada a este musico de talla internacional. Un manual imprescindible para cualquier amante o coleccionista de la banda. Ampliamente ilustrada, la obra cuenta ademas con una "playlist" en Spotify y una seleccion de videos comentados de YouTube.
