"Frida Castelli è solo una tra gli otto miliardi di persone sulla Terra. Vive e lavora a Milano e ha una vita come tante.Un giorno, tra le infinite combinazioni possibili, incontra un uomo di cui non ci ha mai svelato il nome e da quel momento il suo passato perde qualunque importanza: esistono solo il presente del tempo insieme e il futuro atteso.Le loro vite sono lontane: a unirle sono le camere d'albergo. La vita di Frida diventa un contare i minuti, le ore, i giorni, un misurare le distanze per attraversare gli elementi: acqua, aria e terra si possono percorrere con ogni mezzo per incontrarsi di nuovo.Ciò che avviene nel frattempo è solitudine martellante che rischia di annullare la sua persona.Carta e matite, colori e pennelli sublimano l'attesa, neutralizzano lo spazio e il tempo della separazione. La quotidianità diventa pura concentrazione, dialogo interiore, pienezza che nutre e allontana dal baratro.Una volta al giorno, tutti i giorni, l'arte nata all'improvviso rievoca la perfezione dell'amore vissuto e le possibilità di quello anelato, nutrendosi di impeti e cura, di passione e perseveranza, di dettagli e di assoluto.Per sempre, fin quando durerà ". The long-distance love story that has been captivating hundreds of thousands on Instagram since 2016 now presents itself in a new large format, consistent with the original dimensions of the artist's works. Opening new horizons in illustrated erotica, Frida achieves this through a sweet and romantic perspective capable of making an impact worldwide. "Frida Castelli is just one among the eight billion people on Earth. Living and working in Milan, she leads a life like many others.One day, among the infinite possible combinations, she meets a man whose name she has never revealed, and from that moment, her past loses any significance; only the present of their time together and the anticipated future exist.Their lives are distant; hotel rooms connect them. Frida's life becomes a counting of minutes, hours, days - a measuring of distances to traverse the elements: water, air, and land, all navigated by any means to reunite.Meanwhile, the relentless solitude threatens to erase her being.Paper and pencils, colors and brushes elevate the wait, neutralizing the space and time of separation. Everyday life becomes pure concentration, inner dialogue, a fullness that nourishes and distances from the abyss.Once a day, every day, the art born suddenly recalls the perfection of lived love and the possibilities of the longed-for one, fueled by impulses and care, passion and perseverance, details, and the absolute.Forever, for as long as it will last."

She walks the streets of her London, creating it and herself -- gaining agency by being in control of her own direction, speed and momentum. Walking is both an internal and external experience. It's a time for self-reflection, for observing others and for imagining how we appear to them. What is expected of a person of our age, sex, and race, and how should that influence what we do and how we feel about ourselves? A poignant and contemporary meditation on gender politics, social commentary, and eighties movies, all interlaced with shards of autobiography and illustrated with a beautiful series of sequential and non-sequential watercolour images.

2023 American Writing Awards Best Graphic Novel, Children's Book InternationalIt wasn't her eyes that first noticed it when their ship drew near to the Island of South Georgia... It was her nose...

But an unexpected turn of events had shipwrecked that plan...Nineteen-year-old Jack Robinson had his own dilemma...Does he stay on the island with the girl he has fallen for, deserting the crew of the Endurance who are counting on him for their survival; or resign himself to continue an expedition which may seal his fate in an icy tomb. To compound his angst, his brother had left him and the ship, joining the war against Germany, and is somewhere on a battlefield in France. Now he must face this decision alone...In the beginning days of World War I, the sailing ship Endurance had left England to sail to the distant Southern Ocean. Their task: A team of explorers were to cross the great unknown continent of Antarctica, 1,800 miles on foot, with sleds and dogs. It was called the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition.But at home, Great Britain, filled with excitement and anxiety over the coming conflict, had turned its attention away from this epic adventure. As a result, the expedition was nearly forgotten...Endurance, The Frozen Keep is the first book of a two volume series weaving together Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition's dangerous voyage on the high seas and in the frozen wilderness of Antarctica: a passionate teenage girl's fight for environmental justice; the story of a valiant crew's adventure on the high seas, and danger in the vast, frozen wilderness of Antarctica.

Within our visible world, there are hidden worlds full of unknown forces whose nature we cannot fathom. Ocultos swirls together a series of stories that form a bridge between our world to the next, where thoughts and dreams can bend and shape reality. A woman in therapy is haunted by disturbing visions; a lonely widower feels a presence wafting through her house; a little boy sees bright red lights flash across the night sky. Vivid dreams, poignant symbols, fleeting sensations -- all clues that point to an understanding of what lies beyond.

Artfully rendered in her signature wispy, atmospheric pencil lines punctuated by splashes of color, Ocultos is a spiritual, reflective work that will leave you spellbound.
Finding the blueprints belonging to the eponymous Time Traveler of H.G. Wells' novel, our reluctant and all-too-human heroine enlists her ex-husband Rob's engineering genius in constructing the same kind of machine capable of the same awesome power. With a (more or less) functioning time machine at her disposal, she decides there's no better time to do her part to save humanity from itself and starts looking for (figurative) butterflies to pin down in hopes of altering the history of human civilization and averting the impending effects of climate change. Wary of causing unintended consequences by traveling into the past to change history, she heads into the future, alone, to see if she can gain any insights she can bring back to 2020 that could help change the course of a world suffering from the reckless consequence of the Anthropocene. She anticipates the worst, but that's not quite bad enough: Not only is there the ecological collapse she feared, but by 2035, America has devolved into a fascist state and by 2060 to full blown totalitarianism. My Time Machine is both a sly, cautionary political satire and a rollicking time travel story, full of playful time travel paradoxes, edge-of-your-seat suspense, breezy badinage, and a deeply felt wonder at the universe. It is serious and funny, timely and timeless (literally).
Julia Gfrörer is quietly one of the most influential cartoonists of her generation. Emerging from the Portland scene at the height of the Obama era, her comics augured the dark times to come, using graphic sex, pitch-black horror, a hunger for exploring the past, and a line cruel as a whip to create her own unmistakable sense of millennial melancholy. Reflecting her DIY ethos, much of her work has only been available in self-published zines or independent anthologies, many of them rare or out-of-print -- until now. World Within the World features 30 of Gfrörer's short stories, culled from a decade of writing and drawing at the bleeding edge of the art form. Her tales of desire, despair, and the universal need for connection span centuries, continents, and cultures from prehistoric teenagers in love to Christian martyrs in the making to modern-day vampires on the make. Along the way her bold, confident work leads the reader to some unexpected places, whether erotica inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe or a post-apocalyptic parody of Frasier.In World Within the World, there is no distinction between the realistic and the fantastic, the psychological and the supernatural, the modern and the medieval, the mundane and the sublime -- just the artist's unflinching vision of how it feels to be human, no matter when or where.
