Alfonso Casas

La biografía ilustrada del líder de Queen, uno de los mitos más poderosos del siglo XX, escrita e ilustrada por Alfonso Casas. ¿Quién no ha cantado a pleno pulmón «I Want To Break Free»? ¿O dramatizado con total entrega «Bohemian Rapsody»? Detrás de estas canciones, que forman parte de la historia de la música y de nuestra historia personal, hay un nombre propio: Freddie Mercury. Con su bigote, su chaqueta amarilla y su voz inconfundible, el líder de Queen es un icono para una generación, que bailó sus pegadizas melodías y lloró su muerte en 1991. Pero, ¿quién fue Freddie? ¿Cuál es su historia? En esta biografía ilustrada, Alfonso Casas acompaña a Freddie Mercury desde Tanzania, donde nació, hasta Reino Unido, donde murió y se hizo inmortal cantando «Show Must Go On». Su carisma sobre el escenario, su impresionante rango vocal y sus icónicos looks rompieron con el modelo clásico de estrella del rock, dejando claro que una persona puede salirse de lo establecido y aun así -o precisamente por eso- seguir triunfando. Porque donde otros eran simplemente excéntricos, Freddie Mercury era libre. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The illustrated biography of the lead singer of Queen, one of the biggest legends of the 20th century, written and illustrated by Alfonso Casas. Who hasn't belted out "I want to break free"? Or acted out "Bohemian Rhapsody" with utter abandon? Behind these songs, which form part of music history and our own personal histories, there is a name: Freddie Mercury. With his mustache, his yellow jacket, and his unmistakeable voice, the lead singer of Queen is an icon for an entire generation, which danced to his catchy melodies and cried over his death in 1991. But who was Freddie? What is his story? In this illustrated biography, Alfonso Casas accompanies Freddie Mercury from Tanzania, where he was born, to the UK, where he died and became immortal singing "The Show Must Go On."

Alfonso Casas's MonsterMind is a very personal account of the inner monsters that live inside his head. But, who doesn't have a monster inside them? Who has never heard that voice inside their head undermining everything they do? You're not good enough . . . You just got really lucky . . . There are people far better and more qualified than you . . . In a very honest exercise, Alfonso Casas identifies and introduces his own monsters to his readers: Mr. Past Traumas, Mr. Fear, Mr. Social Anxiety, Mr. Impostor Syndrome, Mr. Sadness, Mr. Doubt... The pessimistic, the insecure, the self-demanding, the monster that keeps you from sleeping while you think of what you could have said back in that conversation two years ago, or that keeps you looking over the punctuation of every text message to figure out the tone lurking beneath the surface. All those monsters make up the bestiary of contemporary society. But the anxiety generation is expert in more things: in looking inside themselves and their lives, and--why not?--in laughing at their own neuroses as best they can. In the end, if the monsters won't leave us, we might as well get to know them and laugh at them! Anxiety is another pandemic, but the monsters dwelling inside us are funny, too (especially as drawn by Alfonso Casas).
