A Marco Sguaitzer the “b—-” – as he called Stefano Borgonovo – is diagnosed in 2008 after an intense life through sport, so much friendship, a constant and insatiable curiosity of the world and people.

Some No Limit is not in fact the story of the disease, nor is it a melancholic memory album is rather a manifesto for life, written by a skilled storyteller who speaks from his shadow, which gives us his world portraying sometimes with strong colors and sometimes subtle, in constant balance between depth and lightness.

Only The Eyes Say Yes

Philippe Vigand (from Arcade Publishing, Inc): “On a July morning ten years ago, Philippe Vigand, a young, vigorous, handsome publishing executive, was walking to work when he heard a “gigantic explosion.” Strangely, nobody else seemed to have heard it…for the simple reason that it was in his head. For two months he lay in a coma. When he awoke, he was completely paralyzed, but his mind was intact. He was suffering from locked-in syndrome. After months of hospital care, Philippe was brought home…” Philippe and his wife Stephane live with their 3 children in Paris. Together they wrote Only the Eyes Say Yes. Philippe wrote his portion of the book using his Eyegaze Edge. The book has been translated into 11 languages with major distribution in 14 countries.
