Un viaggio sofferto ed affascinante alla ricerca di una definitiva via drsquo;uscita dalla povertagrave;; dallrsquo;abbandono e dalla solitudine approda alla bellezza intesa come attenzione per il genere umano e la natura. Questo il viaggio di Emiliana; la protagonista; e degli amici che incontra lungo il cammino. Una storia di fantasia questa; ma lrsquo;immaginazione amplifica il contenuto profondo di ideali universali e mai banali quali la condivisione e la cooperazione per la costruzione di un futuro migliore. Tra vette altissime e mari sterminati ognuno dei personaggi ha un compito da svolgere: Emiliana deve attuare un possibile amore universale; Hamed; che parte su una barca ; uno tra tanti; alla ricerca di una vita che nessuno gli ha promesso migliore; deve allontanare la povertagrave; dal suo popolo; Soleila; la moglie; deve innamorarsi del sogno altrui fino a rinunciare alla sua vita precedente per sopravvivere al dolore del distacco raggiungendolo nella nuova terra che lo ha accolto. Il vecchio dalla barba bianca; simbolo della saggezza; che instilla nel cuore di chi ascolta le sue parole lrsquo;amore nei confronti della natura e delle tradizioni. Giacinto che deve sostenere il sogno rivoluzionario di Emiliana. Attraverso le loro storie; la narrazione delle preoccupazioni e delle speranze di molti; il consumo del territorio; il dolore costante e giornaliero di chi non ha lrsquo;essenziale; il compimento di un sogno. Difficile viaggio; ma se il desiderio egrave; quello di comporre una nuova societagrave; non si puograve; rimanere fermi.

I love Warhol; and have pretty much read everything I can on him. He also Warhol all wrong. I wont even go into details on that; because it would anger me all over again. Nick claims that not all the facts are accurate even. Im not sure why youd write anything biographical and not have it as accurate as possible. I shudder to think if this is someones introduction to Warhol. Theyd have completely the wrong picture of him. Im giving it two stars instead of one; because the artwork is really great. That is this books saving grace. I wouldnt recommend this to anyone; though; sadly.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Fascinating Story with Excellent IllustrationsBy B. AndersonThis is a beautifully illustrated book with an insightful storyline. Anyone interested in Andy Warhol; Jean-Michel Basquiat; or anything that has to do with the mercurials 60s and 70s should give this book a look. The illustrations bring the story to life.I also appreciated the insight into Warhols early life; of which I had no knowledge.Recommend!2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Fresh; bubbling graphic novel of a very young Andy Warhol!By BuckwriterBecoming Andy Warhol a book written by New York Times bestselling writer Nick Bertozzi and artist Pierce Hargan is the beautiful; captivating graphic novel of the first steps of this pop artist in the environment. It will be published by Abrams at the beginning of October.Black; white and purple the colors used for this graphic novel divided in chapters. You will find it surely interesting.Andy Warhol has been the most known artist of pop art of XX century and the most venerated icon of the sector; inspiration for hundreds of painters and creatives. What a wonderful portrait of this young man!No sure why I have always had the impression Warhol had to be a hard man. In this book a completely different character. Sometimes a shy person; pretty introvert; in love for his mom; an enthusiast of his work.His visions different from the creations of the past decades; at the beginning misunderstood.Maybe the idea of buying a piece of art of a suicide not so attracting...With the time Warhol abandoned the idea of painting. He loved to use pictures; manipulating them; pressing them; coloring them (remember the famous painting of Marylin Monroe?) for create art.Warhol and his art recognized in every corner of the world.This graphic novel is very beauty because it doesnt give the idea of the immensity of this talent but the one of a young boy called Andy; who; with all himself wanted to arrive. Its a fresh; young; funny graphic novel.The book concludes the adventures of young Andy Warhol with the creation of the Thirteen Most Wanted Men mural for the 1964 Worlds Fair. This work launched him in the Olympus of the most known artists and painters of the XXth century.All the rest is known...I thank NetGalley and Abrams for this book.
