The Crusader's Bride
Gaston battled for duty and honor—until Ysmaine tempted him to fight for her love... When the Templar knight Gaston unexpectedly inherits his family estate, he knows he needs a wife and heir.

Zones of Anxiety
The crime serials by French filmmaker Louis Feuillade provide a unique point of departure for film studies, presenting modes rarely examined within early cinematic paradigms. Vicki Callahan addresses the crime serials of Louis Feuillade from a feminist perspective.
Movies as Politics
In this new collection of reviews and essays, Jonathan Rosenbaum focuses on the political and social dynamics of the contemporary movie scene. Rosenbaum, widely regarded as the most gifted contemporary American commentator on the cinema, explores the many links between film and our ideological identities as individuals and as a society. Readers will find revealing examinations of, for example, racial stereotyping in the debates surrounding Do the Right Thing, key films from Africa, China, Japan, and Taiwan, Hollywood musicals and French serials, and the cultural amnesia accompanying cinematic treatments of the Russian Revolution, the civil rights movement, and the Vietnam War. From Schindler's List, Star Wars, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, The Piano, and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective to the maverick careers of Orson Welles, Jacques Tati, Nicholas Ray, Chantal Akerman, Todd Haynes, and Andrei Tarkovsky, Rosenbaum offers a polemically pointed survey that makes clear the high stakes involved in every aspect of filmmaking and filmgoing.

Marie Marvingt, Fiancee of Danger
Marie Marvingt (1875-1963) set the world's first women's aviation records, won the only gold medal for outstanding performance in all sports, invented the airplane ambulance, was the first female bomber pilot in history, fought in World War I disguised as a man, took part in the Resistance of World War II, was the first to survive crossing the English Channel in a balloon, worked all her life as a journalist, spent years in North Africa and invented metal skis. Her life story was so unusually rich in exploits and accomplishments that some dismissed it as a hoax. This biography explores the life of "the most incredible woman since Joan of Arc" and investigates the reasons she has been forgotten. Known as the "fiancee of danger," she was the model for the silent film series The Perils of Pauline.

Barrabas Grand Roman CinŽma en douze Žpisodes
Barrabas, premier roman-feuilleton de Maurice Level dans Le Journal, y paraît en 83 épisodes du 27 février au 20 mai 1920, parallèlement à la projection du film de Louis Feuillade sur les écrans. Conteur et chroniqueur depuis 1901 dans ce quotidien, Maurice Level n'intervient qu'à la demande du Journal, lequel aura été approché par Feuillade. Frèle vieillard -- du moins en apparence -- au faîte de sa puissance néfaste, Barrabas (Strelitz) est un chef de bande impitoyable. Fourbe et déloyal, il s'empare de la fortune du banquier Mortimer et tente ensuite de corrompre l'avocat Jacques Varèse qui commence à s'intéresser à ses activités. Ne parvenant pas à retourner celui-ci, une lutte féroce s'engage alors entre eux. Dans sa postface, Jean-Luc Buard revient longuement sur la réalisation du film. Une galerie photographique provenant des archives de M. Champreux, petit-fils de Feuillade, ainsi qu'un inventaire de 110 ciné-romans publiés en feuilletons dans les quotidiens de 1915 à 1927 terminent ce volume.
