I.B.Tauris is delighted to announce the reissue in paperback in three
volumes of the definitive, most comprehensive edition, in the finest
translations and fully annotated, of the writings of this great
filmmaker, theorist and teacher of film - and one of the most original
aesthetic thinkers of the twentieth century. The name of Sergei
Eisenstein (1898-1948) is synonymous with the idea of montage, as
exemplified in his silent classics such as "The Battleship Potemkin"
(1925) and "October" (1927). In the 1930s his style changed, partly to
accommodate the arrival of sound, and his ideas on audio-visual
counterpoint developed. Between 1937 and 1940 he elaborated his ideas
on montage in a series of essays, most of which remained unpublished
until after his death and which are published in English for the first
time in this volume. They present the essence of Eisenstein's thinking
on cinema and aesthetics more generally and reveal him as one of the
most significant philosophers of art of the twentieth century.
