"I NATT" The EBOOK of Alberto Oliver



When sensitivity, skill and commitment meet each other, it comes out marvelous works.
The love and the bond with a city that "wraps" him with heart, becoming his best friend.
Stockholm lived and seen through Alberto Oliver emotions.
Personally "I NATT" has given me great emotions, the emotion that is unleashed with an atmosphere, a light, a color, which gave me a sense of immensity and made me feel alive and not alone in this world.

A Listening Thing by William Michaelian



“All night, into the morning and here it is one o’clock in the afternoon and I’m still sitting here in my underwear, bleary eyed in quiet awe of this book.”

This book is William Michaelian’s powerful first novel, A Listening Thing. In it, Stephen Monroe, a romantic misfit and underground man, is no one’s hero. But his intensely personal narrative rings true on a vast social scale, and his quiet life of desperation is a clear indictment of a culture that has lost its way. Noted for its dignity and humor, A Listening Thing does more than shed light on our human predicament. It goes to the heart of love and teaches us how to live.

The text in this special edition is identical to that published online by the author in 2003 after it was examined and corrected. It replaces the unauthorized version distributed to the book trade in bound un- corrected galley proofs in 2002, which were later sold online at collectible prices. Extra materials from the original unpublished and online editions of the novel are included for the record. The author’s Preface, Afterword, and revealing in-depth Interview are new, and here published for the first time.

Vânia Crissant's "life is made of details" the known drawer of remembers



To browse Vânia Crissant's book "Life is made of details" is how to open that known drawer, that each of us has, the drawer filled, over the years with those objects wich, for some strange reason, we never decided to throw away, and to not separate us from those objects, we have placed in that drawer, almost to be sure of being able to reopen at any time and relive some memories.
Then happens that we don't open it for years and a day, with the intention of putting in place the drawer
and... heart sank!





In Vânia Crissant's book, I found remembers thanks moment that Crissant has so good stopped in time, and my feeling was like to open that known drawer...


Yes life is made of details, and "live is made of details" is simply beautifull


Crissant was born in Brasil, but actually lives in Spain, where dedicates to photography and audio-visual productions.

Caio Fern - Alemão





As Caio told me he was writing a book, I immediately thought:
-he is a complete artist- you already know that I consider Caio a great painter, who is able to express very well and with its own style, the soul of his characters, making them alive and very close to us. His paintings is 99% autobiographical, which does not happen at the first look in the book but, for me really only at the first look.
Reading the story of Nicholas I understand that the essence of Caio is present throughout the book.
I must say that I have always had an emotional tie with Brazil and years ago I read a lot of Brazilian literature from Coelho (that- sorry-I don't liked so much) to Amado (that I loved), but I lacked for a book describing life in Brazil today, I wanted a book that should take place in the past, or imaginary places, I wonted enter the Brazilian reality today with his, TV or radio programm, music of young people, in short of daily life in Brasil, but among all the contradictions of this country and try to understand how European immigration influenced the character of different ethnic groups in Brazil and I must say I am very happy to read alemão, even proud of my friend Caio who has demonstrated this to be really a complete artist.

Caio thanks also a lot for find place also for me in your book with yours affectionate and friendly, dedication to me among people who you have thanked.

Quando Caio mi disse che stava scrivendo un libro, ho subito pensato:
-lui é un artista completo- giá voi sapete che considero Caio un grande pittore, che riesce ad esprimere benissimo e con uno stile tutto suo, l'anima dei suoi personaggi, rendendoli vivi e molto vicini a noi. La sua opera pittorica é per il 99% autobriografica, cosa che non succede nel libro, o forse si?
Leggendo le vicende di Nicholas capisco che l'essenza di Caio é presente in tutto il libro.
Devo dire che anni fa ho letto molta letteratura brasiliana da Coelho a Amado, ma mi mancava un libro che descrivesse la vita odierna in brasile, volevo un libro che non si svolgesse nel passato o in luoghi immaginari, voelvo entrare nella realtá odierna brasiliana, e devo dire che sono molto felice di leggere questo libro, anche fiera del mio amico Caio che ha dimostrato con questo di essere veramente un artista completo.

Caio grazie anche per la dedica che, cosí affettuosamente e amichevolmente hai impresso per me sul tuo libro.

A coffee in a typical Viennese coffee haus with William Michaelia's PRIMITIVE

Viennese cafés have a special atmosphere, hard to explain...
I tought here is a nice place to browse the collection of selected drawings in pixel, pen and pencil, gathered in "Primitive" of William Michaelian.
So I took a coffee, with all calm, with the different William's expressions,
I'm very happy to have this collection because I can recognize in every picture, somethings about me and about all the humanity.
I'm really moved about the intensity of William's picture. 
I recommend it to anyone because this book gives me the feeling of a visual manual of survival in some difficoult situations ...











Primitive of William Michaelian in Tiroler Hof-Vienna 



I caffé viennesi hanno una particolare atmosfera, difficile da spiegare...
Ho pensato che qui é il luogo adatto per sfogliare la collezzione di disegni in pixel, matita e penna, raccolti in "Primitive" di William Michaelian.
Cosí ho preso un caffé, con tutta calma, assieme alle differenti espressioni di William.
Sono molto felice di avere questa raccolta perché in ogni immagine posso riconoscere qualcosa di me e dell'intera umanitá.
Trovo questo libro davvero di una intensitá commovente e lo raccomando a tutti perché sembra quasi un manuale visivo di soppravvivenza in certe difficili situazioni...
