New English Paperback. 4to. (29 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. [117] p., color ills. Akira Kurosawa. Drawings.= Desenler. [Exhibition catalogue]. Edited by Begüm Akkoyunlu Ersöz, Fatma Çolakoglu, Tania M. Bahar. "Ten years after the death of Akira Kurosawa, Sana and Inan Kiraç Foundation Pera Museum is paying special tribute to the world of cinema's Japanese master by hosting eighty-seven drawings that express Kurosawa's visual intricate universe. As a prelude to this symphony of colors, the words of Aldo Tassone recount the journey of the emperor of Japanese cinema as a biographical essay. A descendent of the Samurai, Kurosawa was born during the end of Japan's Meiji Period (1867-1912). His childhood coincided with the transition from feudalism to modernity, from isolation to opening up to the world. It was undeniably this particular atmosphere, as much as his family circle, that urged him from a very early age on, to quench the thirst he had for Western art. His oeuvre, in fact, is an original synthesis of Eastern and Western cultures.".

251 pages. Index of names. Bibliography. Maps. "Almost 50 years after the event, the Alliled intervention in Russia following the Bolshevik seizure of power in 1917 remains a conroversial issue. For that reason, and because so much government documentary material has remained inaccessible, it has been badly neglected by professional historians... Provides a wealth of completely new material... The obscure beginnings of the intervention, November 1917 to August 1918, are thoroughly explained, and the role of Japan and Czechoslovakia Corps in the military strategy of the Allies is examined." - from dust jacket.
