    Content: "The definitive and authorized biography that unlocks the remarkable story of Vivian Maier, the nanny who lived secretly as a world-class photographer, featuring nearly 400 of her images, many never seen before, placed for the first time in the context of her life. Vivian Maier, the photographer nanny whose work was famously discovered in a Chicago storage locker, captured the imagination of the world with her masterful images and mysterious life. Before posthumously skyrocketing to global fame, she had so deeply buried her past that even the families she lived with knew little about her. No one could relay where she was born or raised, if she had parents or siblings, if she enjoyed personal relationships, why she took photographs and why she didn't share them with others. Now, the full story of her extraordinary life is explored by the only person who has been given access to her personal records and archive of 140,000 photographs. Based on meticulous investigative research, Vivian Maier Developed reveals the story of a woman who fled from a family with a hidden history of illegitimacy, bigamy, parental rejection, substance abuse, violence, and mental illness to live life on her own terms. Left with a limited ability to disclose feelings and form relationships, she expressed herself through photography, creating a secret portfolio of pictures teeming with emotion, authenticity, and humanity. With limitless resilience she knocked down every obstacle in her way, determined to improve her lot in life and that of others by tirelessly advocating for the rights of workers, women, African Americans, and Native Americans. No one knew that behind the detached veneer was a profoundly intelligent, empathetic, and inspired woman--a woman so creatively gifted that her body of work would become one of the greatest photographic discoveries of the century"--

    Content: "Nella periferia di Los Angeles, il 17 luglio 1955, apriva per la prima volta i suoi cancelli Disneyland. Quasi trentamila persone si riversarono nei viali mai calpestati prima, un fiume in piena di bambini pronti a lasciarsi meravigliare. Lì, tra famiglie, figuranti e pupazzi, c'era Vivian Maier, una tata di origine francese da poco trasferitasi sulla West Coast in cerca di un nuovo incarico. La donna girovagava da sola tra la folla con una macchina fotografica in mano: dopo anni di scatti in bianco e nero, aveva deciso di passare al colore per immortalare gli attori travestiti da nativi americani e i castelli di cartapesta, per rendere giustizia a quell'atmosfera sognante e un po' finta. Ma conclusa la gita, quelle foto non furono viste da nessuno, come le altre decine di migliaia di immagini che Vivian Maier scattò e tenne nascoste agli occhi del mondo per decenni. La storia del loro ritrovamento è già leggendaria: montagne di rullini chiusi in scatole di cartone fino al 2007, quando per un caso fortunato John Maloof, il figlio di un rigattiere di Chicago, acquistò in blocco il contenuto di un box espropriato. All'interno trovò un archivio brulicante di autenticità e umanità, il patrimonio di una fotografa sconosciuta che in pochi anni sarebbe stata celebrata in tutto il mondo. Ma mentre le sue opere diventavano sempre più popolari, la sua biografia restava un segreto impenetrabile, perché Vivian aveva sepolto il suo talento con la stessa cura e riserbo con cui aveva protetto la sua vita. Adesso, grazie alla meticolosa ricerca investigativa di Ann Marks, che ha avuto accesso a documenti personali e fonti di primissima mano, quelle vicende personali finora oscure vengono sottratte all'oblio, al mistero e alla leggenda. Vita di Vivian Maier rivela in tutta la sua complessità la storia di una donna fuggita da una famiglia disfunzionale, fra illegittimità, abuso di sostanze, violenza e malattia mentale, per poter finalmente vivere alle sue condizioni. Nessuno, neanche le famiglie presso cui prestava servizio, aveva idea che quella bambinaia di provincia nascondesse uno dei maggiori talenti fotografici del periodo, in grado di ritrarre le disparità e le ingiustizie degli Stati Uniti del boom economico, le persone comuni, i bambini, la semplice vita urbana. In questo eccezionale volume, che trabocca di foto (anche inedite), l'opera e la vita finalmente si intrecciano in un'unica storia: il ritratto che emerge è quello di una sopravvissuta, fiduciosa nel suo talento nonostante le sfide della malattia mentale, una donna socialmente consapevole, straordinariamente complessa e soprattutto libera. « Vita di Vivian Maier è una panoramica completa e affascinante su un'artista che lavorava per amore dell'arte. È l'inizio di un nuovo modo di raccontarla.» - The New York Times «Ann Marks ha una straordinaria abilità di investigazione che unisce intuito, intraprendenza e tenacia,ma mostra anche profonda empatia e un acuto senso estetico.» - The Washington Post «Ann Marks è la specialista di Vivian Maier. Ha esplorato le zone grigie che il nostro documentario non era riuscito a chiarire.» - John Maloof, scopritore di Vivian Maier e regista e produttore di Alla ricerca di Vivian Maier. "
    Content: Biographisches: "Ann Marks è stata manager in importanti aziende di New York. Ha sempre coltivato la passione per le ricerche genealogiche e il mistero. Ispirata dalla storia di Vivian Maier, si è dedicata per anni a studiarne la vita e il lavoro di fotografa, riuscendo nell'impresa di ricostruirne il background familiare e la vita vissuta lontano dalle luci della ribalta."
