Art and the Influence of Revolution
$7.99-11.99
Art and the Influence of Revolution explores the extraordinary cultural flourishing of 1925, a year that remains a high-water mark for international literature and cinema. Through a series of insightful essays on masters such as Dreiser, Fitzgerald, Chaplin, Eisenstein and Shostakovich, this collection argues that the intellectual depth of the era was inextricably linked to the global impact of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. By examining these works within their necessary historical and social framework, the volume demonstrates that the struggle for a profound, three-dimensional realism was the defining response to the greatest social upheaval of modern times.
