Résumé:
In a series of lightly drawn illustrations, William Wondriska tells a delightful story that gently reminds adults and children alike of the importance of tolerance. It’s hard to keep your calm when there’s nothing to do and the heat of the jungle is insufferable. Try asking the animals of William Wondriska, who make the huge mistake of pointing out each other’s shortcomings! The lion accuses the tortoise of being too slow, the tortoise accuses the elephant of being too bulky, the elephant accuses the ant of being too small, and so on. This goes on all day until in the end a kind dove comes down from the sky to restore harmony, and remind everyone that sometimes it’s good to be bulky, slow and even small.

Résumé:
This issue of Un Sedicesimo is an incursion into the 19th century gloomy atmosphere of Edgar Allan Poe's short story: The Murders in the Rue Morgue. Over the 16 pages, Gianluigi Toccafondo gives us his version of one of the great crime writer's most famous tales, published for the first time in 1841. A macabre double crime takes place in a Parisian apartment. Ferocious and unexplainable, it can only be solved by brilliant detective, Auguste Dupin. The lugubrious details of the story are transferred to an unprecedented black and white issue of Un Sedicesimo. The pages are crowded with quick ink strokes, differing shades of tempera and daubs of colour, to recreate in dark and urgent images the murky atmosphere of the tale.

Résumé:
The new issue of Un Sedicesimo pays tribute to the comic strip. Without text or bubbles, the story is created here by the rhythm of the panels on the page, and by their alternating figures and colours. Gianpaolo Pagni creates patterns, people and geometric shapes using specially designed stamps of different shapes and sizes, coated in ink and used like a pencil or paintbrush to make drawings. Graphics combine with overlapping figures and mass production to create an abstract cartoon that uses geometric figures and human silhouettes in a personal interpretation of wordless narrative.

Résumé:
This issue of Un Sedicesimo originates from a journey into the present and from memory as its sediment is deposited in our own personal gaze. It focuses on the dialogue between images and words, taking the shape of a notebook recording our daily lives; it is a collection of tracks and traces represented through collages, charcoals drawings, watercolours, shellac and burns. Gianluigi Colin works with the precision of an archaeologist to highlight fragments of words, signs and figures within the fissures of our everyday existence. Gianluigi Colin was born in Pordenone in 1956. For many years he has been conducting artistic research touching upon two systems that only appear different: words and pictures. His work is an investigation of the meaning of representation, the importance of memory, and the layering of vision.

Résumé:
Beyond books covers the intense activity of printer Alighiero Boetti, from his artists’ books to posters and exhibition invitations, taking a look along the way at his long association with newspaper “Il Manifesto”. Boetti was both typesetter and director of his work, shifting from the role of creator to graphic artist to rewrite and redesign the informative materials on his work. And this is how the artists’ books were born. A limited number of books with hard red cloth covers – Boetti’s trademark – linked by one common feature: they were pieces of real craftsmanship and a fusion of the traditions of printing and art.

Résumé:
Biomilano is a glossary of ideas - a mosaic of pieces put together by combining different ways of investigating and using the city, involving biologists, architects, agronomists, politicians and residents. Ideas, thoughts and urban lifestyle habits initially listed verbally and visually are then put together again differently to form six metropolitan frescoes. In each of which the fragments are regrouped to create a concrete vision of the city’s present and its future. It is only when you take a step back, raise your eyes and continue reading that the overall view becomes clearer and more recognizable: it is the plan of a city that potentially already exists. The book contains detailed illustrations of the six Biomilano projects – the Orto Botanico Planetario for Expo 2015, Metrobosco, Bosco Verticale , Casa Bosco, Cascine, Ruralità Urbane – using a glossary to describe the economic and territorial energies required to achieve a new balance between the urban sphere, rural areas (cultivated forms of nature) and the natural world.

Résumé:
Les Américains sont-ils vraiment insensibles aux malheurs de la planète ? American Ecolo raconte une Amérique peu connue : celle des cantines scolaires et des cimetières, des autoroutes tentaculaires du Texas et des banlieues campagnardes du Nebraska, des usines à bétail biologique et des petits poulaillers urbains, des loisirs familiaux et des comportements insolites de certaines féministes, et aussi des hippies modernes et des scientifiques époustouflants. Toute une culture dont on n’imagine pas qu’elle soit si différente de la nôtre. Les États-Unis ont changé au cours de la première décennie du XXIe siècle, bousculés par trois évènements choc : l’attentat du 11 septembre 2001, l’ouragan Katrina en août 2005, et l’élection de Barak Obama en novembre 2008. Cette évolution est chroniquée par une Française devenue binationale, lestée d’une sensibilité particulière pour les choses de l’écologie.
