Film lovers all over the world are familiar with the masterpieces of Eisenstein and Tarkovsky. These directors' unique achievements were embedded in a powerful process that began under Russia's last tsar and underwent several periods of blossoming: the bourgeois cinema in the 1910s, the revolutionary avant-garde in the 1920s, the Thaw in the 1950s, and the awakening of national cinemas in the 1960s and 1970s. The Historical Dictionary of Russian and Soviet Cinema is the first reference work of its kind in the English language devoted entirely to the cinema of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, and the post-Soviet period, including both the cinematic highlights and the mainstream. The cinemas of the former Soviet republics, including Ukraine, Belarus, Armenia, Georgia, Lithuania, and Latvia, are also represented with their most influential artists. Through a chronology, an introduction essay, a bibliography, and over 500 cross-referenced dictionary entries on filmmakers, performers, cinematographers, composers, producers, studios, genres, and outstanding films, this reference work covers the history of Russian and Soviet filmmaking from 1896 to 2007.

Don Quijote en su periplo universal es el tercer volumen de una serie de monografías en las que se reúnen estudios innovadores sobre ejemplos representativos y aspectos particulares de la recepción que la obra maestra de Cervantes ha tenido, a lo largo de los últimos cuatro siglos, más allá de las fronteras españolas. Igual que en los volúmenes anteriores ?Don Quijote por tierras extranjeras (2007) y Don Quijote, cosmopolita (2009)?, colaboran en esta nueva entrega investigadores de diferentes universidades y centros de investigación españoles y extranjeros, que analizan las huellas que la novela sobre el Caballero de la Triste Figura ha dejado en la literatura y la cultura de Alemania, Bélgica, Estados Unidos de América, Grecia, Hungría, Inglaterra, Israel, Italia, Paraguay, Rusia, Serbia y Suiza. Desde una perspectiva comparatista y multidisciplinar, los autores de los trabajos incluidos en este libro abordan la influencia que el Quijote ha ejercido sobre diversos ámbitos de la producción literaria, artística y científica de estos países, abarcando desde la novela y el teatro hasta la traducción, la filología, el cine y la música. De esta forma, Don Quijote en su periplo universal se presenta como un compendio de análisis que amplía horizontes en la vasta materia de la recepción internacional de la novela cervantina, aportando nuevos datos y resultados sobre varios aspectos ?tanto los más conocidos como algunos de los menos explorados? de un tema que en los últimos años ha despertado un vivo interés en todas las ramas de la investigación humanística y los estudios culturales.

Don Quijote en su periplo universal

Russian and Soviet cinema occupies a unique place in the history of world cinema. Legendary filmmakers such as Sergei Eisenstein, Vsevolod Pudovkin, Dziga Vertov, Andrei Tarkovsky, and Sergei Paradjanov have created oeuvres that are being screened and studied all over the world. The Soviet film industry was different from others because its main criterion of success was not profit, but the ideological and aesthetic effect on the viewer. Another important feature is Soviet cinema’s multinational (Eurasian) character: while Russian cinema was the largest, other national cinemas such as Georgian, Kazakh, and Ukrainian played a decisive role for Soviet cinema as a whole. The Historical Dictionary of Russian and Soviet Cinema provides a rich tapestry of factual information, together with detailed critical assessments of individual artistic accomplishments. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Russian and Soviet Cinema contains a chronology, an introduction, and a bibliography. The dictionary section has over 600 cross-referenced entries on directors, performers, cinematographers, composers, designers, producers, and studios. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Russian and Soviet Cinema.
