Roma: Arcana Edizioni, 2005. Roma, 2005; br., pp. 183, ill., cm 17,5x24. (Arcana Songbook. 1). Il libro, dedicato a Fabrizio De André, è un amarcord struggente raccontato da Cesare G. Romana, amico intimo e autore dell'unica biografia autorizzata dall'artista, "Amico Fragile". È un cammino a ritroso che parte con il funerale di Luigi Tenco, quando, accompagnando il feretro a Ricaldone, De André cantò e spiegò a Romana la prima bozza di "Preghiera in Gennaio", la canzone scritta nella notte e dedicata all'amico scomparso. Il racconto si snoda attraverso testi inediti, testimonianze dirette, dichiarazioni e notti insonni passate ad ascoltare musica e parlare del mondo., Arcana Edizioni, 2005, 0, Milano: Baldini Castoldi Dalai, 2011. Milano, 2011; ril., pp. 217, cm 14,5x22. (Romanzi e Racconti. 542). Quella di venerdì 14 dicembre 1962 era una notte buia e tempestosa. Paolo Villaggio e Fabrizio De André, ancora sconosciuti, stavano perdendo tempo in compagnia di altri fannulloni. Complici un topo e la fame, l'atmosfera di torpore che avvolgeva la combriccola si infiammò parecchio. Fu quando la pace tornò a regnare che, come per magia, nacque "Carlo Martello ritorna dalla battaglia di Poitiers". A cinquant'anni di distanza, dopo essere diventato uno dei più grandi attori comici del Novecento, una leggenda vivente che ha fatto ridere, e anche piangere, milioni di spettatori al cinema, nei teatri e in televisione. Villaggio torna sul vecchio testo, più attuale che mai, per farlo esplodere in un romanzo esilarante e affilato, raccontandoci, infine, la vera storia di Carlo Martello. Scopriremo così quanto fosse codardo il re carolingio, e quanto poco fosse diverso da lui il suo nemico, quello sbruffone di Abd al-Rahman, governatore di al-Andalus. Il Medioevo fantastico di Villaggio ci apparirà allora molto simile ai nostri giorni, perché, da quando esiste il mondo, poco è cambiato: i ricchi continuano a compiere soprusi, a concupire le donne con il denaro e a schiacciare deboli e poveri, cui non resta che subire e magari sbeffeggiarli con la satira o denunciarli nelle canzoni; un tempo ci pensavano giullari e menestrelli, oggi ci sono i comici e i cantautori.

Now, in a major literary event, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and distinguished translator Richard Howard presents a new rendition of Stendhal's epic tale of romance, adventure, and court intrigue set in early nineteenth-century Italy.
