Despite its huge global success, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn refused all offers to have his One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich turned into a movie for many years for artistic reasons. It took the full resolve and commitment of the Finnish director Caspar Wrede to bring this challenging project to fruition, eight years after the novel had been published. This second, expanded edition of Filming the `Unfilmable` offers an all-encompassing account of the movie`s production, reception and impact. Filled with little-known facts, it also gives unique and valuable insights into Solzhenitsyn`s complex relationship with the art of filmmaking. 276 pp. Englisch.

Attentive observation and accurate recognition of the extreme right pedigree means taking seriously their deliberately crafted slogans, symbols and themes. The essays in this book inquire into the extreme right s attempts at repackaging contemporary ultranationalism to make it palatable to more mainstream European and American tastes. 336 pp. Englisch.
