'A thing to treasure and keep close at hand. I would prescribe it to the lost and the lonely, the busy and the overburdened, the heart-broken and the happy' – Emily Haworth-Booth A moving, funny exploration of life as the parent of a lockdown baby, by illustrator Pia Bramley. Since March 2020, babies have been born into a world of masks, hand washing and social distancing. They met their grandparents on video calls. Their parents held them up to windows and took them for long walks in the rain. Pia Bramley's illustrations capture the intimacy of the small, strange world of the pandemic baby. She draws on her own experience as a new parent, telling the story of a child's first year against the backdrop of the pandemic: the quiet streets of the first lockdown, the relative freedom of summer, the long nights of autumn and winter and, finally, new hope as spring arrives and life begins to open up again. Moving, funny and deeply honest, this is a book for every parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle or friend who waited to hold their pandemic baby.
Delle copertine straniere si sa tutto ma di quelle italiane nessuno ha mai scritto quasi nulla. Eppure, grandi artisti, fotografi e illustri artigiani hanno partecipato alla realizzazione di quelle copertine che, oltre a restarci negli occhi e nel cuore, hanno contribuito non poco al successo dell'album che contenevano. Ed eccoci qui con 76 capitoli in cui altrettanti lp storici italiani, con un interessante gioco di specchi e di rimandi, diventano 150 e più cover che, oltre a essere belle, hanno alle spalle anche una storia inedita e coinvolgente, gustosi retroscena e simpatici aneddoti che, allora, vale davvero la pena di raccontare.
Ponti e muri sono due idee di Europa (e di mondo): una focalizzata sulla paura, il bisogno di sicurezza e di nemici, e l'altra che aspira a un luogo che risponde al bisogno di futuro e di essere comunità capace di accogliere e di essere vicina a tutti. Il libro si apre con un reportage dalla Norvegia, con le testimonianze di alcuni sopravvissuti agli attentati di Oslo e Utoya del 22 luglio 2011. Capitolo dopo capitolo, ci saranno storie di muri e di ponti, di campi di battaglia diventati luoghi di incontri, di viaggi e di scambi Erasmus. Storie di generazioni di giovani che di quella passione hanno fatto un lavoro. Ci sarà spazio per un excursus storico e culturale che spiegherà come si a...
