30,41€ + 10% CARD

 <p><em>The Arkansas Regulators</em> is a rousing tale of frontier adventure, first published in German in 1846, but virtually lost to English readers for well over a century. Written in the tradition of James Fenimore Cooper, but offering a much darker and more violent image of the American frontier, this was the first novel produced by Friedrich Gerstäcker, who would go on to become one of Germany’s most famous and prolific authors. A crucial piece of a nineteenth-century transatlantic literary tradition, this long-awaited translation and scholarly edition of the novel offers a startling revision of the frontier myth from a European perspective.</p>

From Fidelity To History - Film Adaptations As Cultural Events In The Twentieth Century

by Anne-Marie Scholz

26,43€ + 10% CARD

 <p> Scholarly approaches to the relationship between literature and film, ranging from the traditional focus upon fidelity to more recent issues of intertextuality, all contain a significant blind spot: a lack of theoretical and methodological attention to adaptation as an historical and transnational phenomenon. This book argues for a historically informed approach to American popular culture that reconfigures the classically defined adaptation phenomenon as a form of transnational reception. Focusing on several case studies including the films <em>Sense and Sensibility</em> (1995) and <em>The Portrait of a Lady</em> (1997), and the classics <em>The Third Man</em> (1949) and <em>The Bridge on the River Kwai</em> (1957)the author demonstrates the ways adapted literary works function as social and cultural events in history and how these become important sites of cultural negotiation and struggle.</p>
