Never before had I seen a book with the surreal quality of being at the same time so beautiful and so very terrible.
It is a book that will undoubtedly move you, first in a visceral, brutal way, and then, if you can stomach the (superb) drawings, it will be a delight to look at and flip through.
It will also make you wonder if art can indeed be ammoral, or if there are subjects that should not be depicted at all, much less given a whole book (and a gorgeous edition, too).

May 31, 2016Mostly artwork, with a few pages here and there of text. Horrifying horrifying text.
Like the part wherein it is described that a young woman went into the forest for some self bondage. Bound herself to a tree. Had the key to her cuffs in her hand. And, once she was found (day later, days?), she had to have her groin repaired. You see, I'd left out a part. The part where she had stuffed some latex gloves up herself. I'm not sure how many, but more than one. No, that didn't 'ruin' her vagina. No, it was what she had put in the gloves before shoving them up herself. That would be the live beetles. Who didn't particularly want to be in there. And latex is a shield for some things, not for the power of beetles. Three beetles were found to be still alive when they found her in the woods.
And that was a relatively gentle story compared to some of the even more brutal tortures displayed in the art.
I'm probably going to have nightmares about this book now. Seriously, beetles. Live. Shoved up your vagina. I didn't even like seeing the picture of the beetle by itself on a blank page. And that was before I learned of the fate of that beetle. *shudders* (more of the fate of the person who encountered the beetle).
I have no idea how to rate this book.

I can't help to wonder what went through Samura's head while drawing every and each of this pictures.
This book is not for anyone, at least you have to find some kind of fascination in the pictures while exploring the details left by Samura and at the same time being able to endure utter disgust.
An interesting way to explore the limits of what art can portray and where can beauty be found.

Quest'oggi, miei egregi lettori, posseggo tra le mani una vera opera d'arte da presentarvi, il libro 𝙴𝚁𝙾 𝙶𝚄𝚁𝙾 più estremo e controverso mai pubblicato: siamo parlando nientepopodimeno di "𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑩𝒓𝒖𝒕𝒆", firmata dal sensei Hiroaki Samura, autore del cult "𝑳𝒂 𝑳𝒂𝒎𝒂 𝒅𝒆𝒍𝒍'𝑰𝒎𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒆", edito da Hollowpress.
Un'edizione unica nel suo genere con copertina rigida enorme, realizzata a mano con una vera rilegatura giapponese, con segnatura a stampa invertita, come i libri nipponici d'epoca per i quali venivano utilizzate al fine di risolvere il problema della trasparenza dovuto all'uso di carte di riso leggere.
In seguito alla lettura dell'intervista da parte del traduttore Paolo La Marca, dedicata all'autore del suddetto volume, ci inoltreremo a capofitto in una realtà ricamata da una serie di illustrazioni a matita pubblicate in un arco temporale che va dal 1998 al 2006, indirizzate esclusivamente ad un pubblico adulto e basate su materia sessuale intrecciata a violenza Estrema, con la "E" maiuscola.
Fun fact: la serie è passata da una pubblicazione all'altra ed è apparsa in tankōbon sia erotici che pornografici come "Tokyo H" e "Manga Erotics F", riviste per ragazzi e d'arte come "QuickJapan" e "Comickers".
Ad oggi, è finalmente raccolta e ristampata dopo circa 20 anni dalla mitica @hollowpress!
Cosa dobbiamo aspettarci di ritrovare al suo interno?
Un'ossessione per il corpo femminile e per come viene distorto in forme non convenzionali, un susseguirsi di immagini inquietanti legate al sadomasochismo, violente e trasgressive, laddove ferocia ed erotismo sono intrinsecamente legati al corpo umano.
Lo stile del sensei abbina la precisione anatomica ad un tratto energico e dinamico, influenzato da noti artisti e personaggi storici, rapprentando abilmente così un'immensa varietà di scene di tortura e sevizie, minuziose nei dettagli e nelle sfumature, donando respiro ad un'estetica raffinata con contenuti raccapriccianti, ispirati a mera fantasia e non volti ad accrescere violenza ed abusi sulle donne.
Nota piuttosto importante e di rilievo, al fine di godere di una lettura maggiormente visiva, muta, spezzata da brevi e devastanti racconti, in maniera consona, ponderata e matura.
Una lettura indirizzata a tutti coloro che non hanno timore di guardare fisso nelle iridi della cruenza, nel cosidetto amore per il brutale.
