Martha Zamora Orden de los libros (cronológico)

In una serie di lettere la pittrice messicana Frida Kahlo (1907-1954), oggi considerata tra le piu significative artiste del ventesimo secolo, racconta la sua vita, la sua arte, le sue tragedie (la poliomelite contratta da piccola e l'incidente stradale che, diciottenne, la rese invalida costringendola a continue operazioni), i suoi sogni e i suoi amori: la sua passione per Alejandro, il lacerante rapporto con l'artista Diego Rivera, la sua adesione al marxismo. Il libro e arricchito da un ampio apparato iconografico, in bianco e nero.

Frida Kahlo's letters, collected here for the first time, represent a wealth of information about the vivid and tragic life of this great Mexican painter. In over 80 missives to her friends, family, enemies, and lovers, Kahlo reveals a dark humor, striking intensity, and genuine warmth. She wrote, as her translator and editor Martha Zamora explains, "honestly and without reserve, employing all the vocabulary at her disposal to convey her thoughts and emotions." To read this selection of her passionate letters is to be awarded a glimpse into the soul of one of this century's most imaginative artists.

Mexican author Martha Zamoira captures the essence of one of Mexico's most prolific and talented painters in a single comprehensive volume. This authoritative and richly illustrated volume will be both an excellent reference and a compelling look at her passionate and often disturbing art. Full-color illustrations.

Director Shion Sono's loose adaptation of the Japanese manga of the same name, follows two teenagers' attempts to survive the aftermath of Japan's 2011 tsunami. Abandoned by his mother, 14-year-old Sumida (Shota Sometani) lives in a boathouse beside a lake and dreams of living a normal life free from his father (Ken Mitsuishi)'s casual beatings. Sharing his dreams of normality is his classmate Chazawa (Fumi Nikaidô), who has a crush on Sumida, even though her feelings are not reciprocated. As the pair try to come to terms with their seemingly bleak futures, events come to a head when Sumida's father taunts him to excess, resulting in a fatally violent altercation. With his dreams now dashed, but eager to make amends to society for his actions, Sumida takes to the streets as a self-styled vigilante, dispensing 'justice' with the aid of a kitchen knife.
