Wired For Magic by Janet Roberts

Edici n revisada y ampliada del gran libro sobre el amor, el desamor y la creaci n art stica de Laura Ferrero y Marc Pallar s

«Un cat logo razonado de amores dif ciles . -El Peri dico

«Dos adeptos a los finales que son principios se han unido para honrar las heridas ajenas que tantas alegr as y tristezas nos han dado. Y esa es una de las formas del amor . -Virginia Mendoza

«Quiz s, aunque esto es solo una suposici n, la nica respuesta v lida frente al desamor la ofrece el camino del arte .

El desamor causa sufrimiento, desubicaci n, incluso ira. Y esto nos ocurre a todos, pero hay una serie de personas, todas ellas artistas (escritores, pintores, escultores, actores, m sicos) que encontraron en el dolor que provoca una ruptura la mecha que encendi su creatividad.

En esta edici n revisada y ampliada de El amor despu s del amor, la literatura de Laura Ferrero conversa con las ilustraciones de Marc Pallar s en el retrato de esos personajes privilegiados que supieron convertir la tristeza en genio creador. Desde Sylvia Plath y Ted Hughes, Camille Claudel y Auguste Rodin, o Idea Vilari o y Juan Carlos Onetti, hasta Taylor Swift y Jake Gyllenhaal, Madonna y Jean-Michel Basquiat, o Amy Winehouse y Blake Fielder-Civil, en todas las historias reales de este libro el arte aparece como elemento clave a la hora de superar la disoluci n del amor y poder seguir adelante.

Como dice Laura Ferrero en el ep logo: «A menudo, como es l gico, agradecemos la existencia de esas personas a las que agrupamos bajo el grandilocuente t tulo de el amor de mi vida. Desde aqu un peque o gui o a esas otras, a las que aguardan bajo un paraguas menos lucido, el del desamor de mi vida. Sin ellas, la historia del arte ser a corta. Cort sima. Y, adem s, mucho menos divertida .

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Revised and extended edition of a great book about love, heartbreak, and Laura Ferrero and Marc Pallar­ s' artistic creation.

Perhaps, though this is mere supposition, the only valid response to heartbreak is what the path of art offers.

Heartbreak causes suffering, disorientation, even anger. And this happens to all of us, but there is a series of people, all of them artists (writers, painters, sculptors, actors, musicians), who realized that pain after a breakup became the spark that ignited their creativity.

In this revised and extended edition of Love After Love, Laura Ferrero's literature converses with Marc Pallar s' illustrations in the portrait of these privileged characters who knew how to turn sadness into creative genius. From Sylvia Plath and Ted Hugues, Camille Claudel and Auguste Rodin, or Idea Vilari o and Juan Carlos Onetti, to Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal, Madonna, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Amy Winehouse, and Blake Fielder-Civil, in every true story in this book, art appears as key element when it comes to overcoming a breakup and moving on.

As Laura Ferrero says in the epilogue: Often enough, unsurprisingly, we thank the existence of these people we group under the grandiose title of 'the love of my life.' From here, a small nod to the others, those who wait under a less sported umbrella, 'the heartbreak of my life.' Without them, art history would be short. Too short. And also, much less fun.
