Who created the most famous Southeast Asian hero during the heyday of imperialism and colonialism? Who inaugurated with The Mysteries of the Black Jungle over a century long link uniting the Italian imaginary to the Indian one? Who envisioned the most celebrated interracial love stories of world literature, those between Sandokan, leader of the Tigers of Mompracem, and Marianna, the Pearl of Labuan, between Tremal-Naik, the Bengali snake catcher, and Ada, the Virgin of Kali’s temple at the time of the British Raj? Who defined the Caribbean as a symbolic trope of plunder and rebellion through the melancholic viewpoint of the Black Corsair and the forsaken love for his enemy’s daughter? Who created Yanez de Gomera, a most famous Portuguese hero, and the imperfect voice of white anti-colonialism? It was Italy’s great adventure novelist, Emilio Salgari (Verona, 1862 – Turin, 1911). From the Mahdi’s revolt in Sudan to the African slave trade, from the Philippine insurgency to the Mediterranean at war between Turks and Christians, and to ancient Egypt, Salgari’s breath-taking plots, together with his indigenous heroes and heroines in Vietnam, Thailand, Venezuela, Arctic Canada, the American Far West, the Chinese diaspora, deeply challenge canonical colonialist representations by contemporary Victorian authors like Conrad, Kipling, and Forster.

Synopsis: It was conceived as an amazing journey through time and space to a land where it was possible to find fights, huge, tigers or diamonds the size of a walnut. Sandokan is the owner and lord of the island of Mompracem. Driven by revenge against the English who took away his family and kingdom, he set out to travel the coasts of Malaysia with his men, cruelly exercising piracy against the British enemy. For this reason, it is known by the nickname of El Tigre de Malaysia. One night when the island is shaken by a strong hurricane, Sandokan receives a visit from Yánez, his most loyal and faithful friend, who informs him about Lady Mariana, niece of the governor of the English colony of Labuán, a young lady who, due to her extraordinary beauty is known as La Perla de Labuán. Impressed by his friend's comments, Sandokan will undertake an expedition commanded by two praos bound for Labuán, in order to meet such a beautiful woman, but upon reaching the outskirts of the island, the ships are intercepted by a British cruiser that manages to sink them and kill almost the entire crew. Sandokan, the only survivor of the attack, will manage to reach the mainland, bruised and wounded. About the Author: Italian writer, Emilio Salgari was born in Verona, Italy, on August 21, 1862, and died in Turin, Italy, on April 25, 1911.

Salgari began to prepare at the Royal Naval Technical Institute P. Sarpi in Venice, but did not get to obtain the title of captain that he longed for.

Salgari wrote a total of eighty-four novels and countless stories, highlighting titles such as The Tigers of Mompracen or The Pirates of Malaysia. Several of his books have been made into a movie and his main character, Sandokan, has starred in a television series.

Synopsis: Continuation and end of The Panthers of Algiers. At the beginning of the 17th century, at the height of the Ottoman Empire, the waters of the Mediterranean Sea were crossed by hundreds of merchant ships from Europe, who had to face the stalking of Muslim pirates, whose modus vivendi was the looting of ships and the sale of their prisoners as slaves. In this historical context, of brave men, constant dangers and bloody battles on the high seas, Emilio Salgari places these stories, which narrate the exciting and daring adventure the Baron of Santelmo undertakes when he decides to enter Algiers to free his fiancée from a fearsome corsair who has it in his power.

Synopsis: It is almost impossible not to conceive of the future as an extended projection of the present. That is true for Verne, but even more so for Emilio Salgari, for whom the year 2000 signified the point of convergence of all possible futures, the time when they would crystallize into a kind of inevitable destiny. Seen today, that future is presented as a range of possibilities that year after year is narrowing more and more, until it is reduced to what it definitely is. The Wonders of 2000 was published for the first time in 1907, but it can be presumed that it was written in 1903, since it is toasted with champagne "for our resurrection in 2003". Two men, willing to know the future, ingest a potion that will keep them asleep for a hundred years. About the Author: Italian writer, Emilio Salgari was born in Verona, Italy, on August 21, 1862, and died in Turin, Italy, on April 25, 1911.

Since the silent days of cinema, Westerns have been one of the most popular genres, not just in the United States but around the world. International filmmakers have been so taken by westerns that many directors have produced versions of their own, despite lacking access to the American West. Nowhere has the Western been more embraced outside of the United States than Italy. In the 1960s, as Hollywood heroes like John Wayne and Randolph Scott were aging, Italian filmmakers were revitalizing the western, securing younger American actors for their productions and also making stars of homegrown talent. Movies directed and produced by Italians have been branded “spaghetti westerns”—a genre that boastsseveral hundred films. In Spaghetti Westerns: A Viewer’s Guide, Aliza S. Wong identifies the most significant westerns all’italiana produced as well as the individuals who significantly contributed to the genre. The author profiles such American actors as Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach, and Lee Van Cleef; composers including Ennio Morricone and Carlo Rustichelli; and, of course, directors like Sergio Corbucci and Sergio Leone. The most memorable movies of the genre are also examined, includingCompañeros, Django; A Fistful of Dollars; The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly; and They Call Me Trinity. In addition to citing pivotal films and filmmakers, this volume also highlights other relevant aspects of the genre, including popular shooting locations, subgenres like the Zapata western, and the films and filmmakers who were inspired by the spaghetti western, including Quentin Tarantino, Richard Rodriguez, and Takashi Miike. An introduction to a unique homage of American cinema, Spaghetti Westerns: A Viewer’s Guide allows fans and scholars alike to learn more about a genre that continues to fascinate audiences.

The Western tradition, with its well-worn tropes, readily identifiable characters, iconic landscapes, and evocative soundtracks, is not limited to the United States. Western, or Western-inspired films have played a part in the output of numerous national film traditions, including Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, and Latin America. In International Westerns: Re-Locating the Frontier, Cynthia J. Miller and A. Bowdoin Van Riper have assembled a collection of essays that explore the significance and meanings of these films, their roots in other media, and their reception in the national industries which gave them form. Among the questions that the volume seeks to answer are: What do Westerns not made in the U.S. reveal? In what ways do they challenge or support the idea of national literatures and cinemas? How do these films negotiate nation, narrative, and genre? Divided into five sections, the twenty essays in this volume look at films from a wide range of national cinemas, such as France (The Adventures of Lucky Luke), Germany (Der Schuh des Maitu), Brazil (O Cangaceiro), Eastern Europe (Lemonade Joe), and of course, Asia (Sukiyaki Western Django). Featuring contributions from a diverse group of international scholars—often writing about Westerns adapted to their own national traditions—these essays address such matters as competing national film traditions, various forms of satire and comedy based on the Western tradition, the range of cultural adaptations of the traditional Western hero, the ties between the nation-state and the outlaw, and Westerns in a variety of unanticipated guises. Representing a broader look at global Westerns than any other single volume to date—and featuring more than 70 illustrations—International Westerns will be of interest to scholars of film, popular culture, and cultural history.
