Ranging from the late nineteenth century to the present day, this exhilarating survey by cultural critic Peter Conrad explores the ways film has changed how we see the world. This is a thematic roller-coaster ride through cinema history, with film expert Peter Conrad in the seat beside you. Thoroughly international, this book ranges from Fay Wray to Satyajit Ray, from Buster Keaton to Kurosawa, from westerns to nouvelle vague. Conrad explores the medium’s relationship to speed, technology, fantasy, horror, dream, color, sound, light, and shadow with reference to scores of films, from the earliest nineteenth-century silent experiments to the latest multisensory Hollywood blockbusters. The author’s insights are amplified by voices from inside and outside the industry: directors and critics are included alongside artists, writers, philosophers, and historians ranging from Leo Tolstoy to Salvador Dalí, Theodor Adorno to Philip Roth. Arranged by topics, such as “Meta-Movie” and “The Physics of Film,” rather than chronological events, The Mysteries of Cinema focuses on film’s otherworldly, hypnotic, and magical qualities. Perfect for both movie fans who will discover new films and directors, and for students of film who will see familiar classics in a new light, this volume is full of unique insights into the genre. Combining his vast knowledge with a forensic eye for a director’s every quirk and mannerism, Conrad offers a fascinating and thrilling exploration of film.

Fantasy and Mystery by AAVV 10 Authors measure themselves against the great Mysteries of our History. Fantamisteri, Fantastic Mysteries, Fantasy and Mystery ... many different ways (even if we recognized ourselves more in the first one) to define this collection of stories, written by ten different authors, who wanted to try to investigate the Mystery and the Fantastic, ranging from History to Fantasy, from the Yellow that is tinged with Horror to the Thriller that borders on Science Fiction, from Time Travel to Esotericism, from ancient Relics to Fantahorror, with a pinch of Eroticism ... In short, the authors have indulged themselves, each based on to one's own culture, one's creativity, one's favorite themes of inspiration, in telling stories in which the Mystery and the Fantastic are the two pivots around which the narrated events revolve. What unites these stories, albeit so different in terms of themes, style, reasons of inspiration? The fact of having chosen famous people from History, Literature, Cinema, as protagonists, and having made them interact with equally famous objects, environments, situations, places. In fact, it goes from the Alchemical Caves to the Bermuda Triangle, from the Holy Grail to the Holy Shroud, with characters such as Constantine emperor, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, D'Artagnan, the Wizard Merlin, Don Giovanni, Annibale, Agatha Marple, George Orwell, Tolkien , Wagner as protagonists and not only, because alongside the great there is also a number of characters who at first glance may seem "minor" but who, instead, are functional to the story and enrich it.
