BIOGRAPHIES
Vite di Sogni is an editorial project of picture books and a series of unauthorized illustrated biographies about literary figures of all times and places.
Vite di Sogni are imaginary journeys, where the lives of the protagonists are displayed through flashbacks, the objects they owned and the places where they lived.
The first three biographies, are:
1) J.R.R. Tolkien –“The Tree and the Magician”-Editions L’Arco e La Corte.
“Everyone is very sorry, they say. Unfortunately there is no other way. It will have to be cut down. It is too dangerous.”
That is not an ordinary tree, though. It is a silent witness. Maybe even a kind prompter: its leaves and branches have told tales of unknown worlds to those who were willing to listen.
That centennial tree has a name: Laocoön. It is the keeper of the thoughts of an English Literature Professor, who is going to be one of the most popular writers of all times.
2) Antoine de Saint Exupéry – Antoine’s Flight
A wreck at the bottom of the sea, out of Corsica’s shores.
The life of the pilot Antoine, father of the Little Prince, is narrated through the wreckage of the only place where he felt alive the most, that inspired him and carried him in his last flight, falling into the sea…just like a shooting star.
3) Emily Dickinson – Emily ‘s Room
A white frock with pearl buttons, a small oil lamp, a writing desk, a window, a bed, a door.
That is where the outside world is shut out, and Emily’s world begins.
It was an incomprehensible decision to many, hard on many, but not for her. From those walls and those few objects, through that window, she rose and flew, free like the freest of birds…on the majestic wings of Poetry.
