Dass Prinz Gavriel Wynris von Galhir auch den Beinamen Prinz Eisenherz trägt, kommt nicht von ungefähr. Selten nur scheint der junge Thronfolger vom Herzogtum Galhir Gefühle an sich heranzulassen, geschweige denn selbige zu zeigen, und so zeichnet eine zumeist eher ausdruckslose Miene sein wie versteinertes Gesicht. Die Gepflogenheiten der Gesellschaft - strenger Erziehung sowie der Fähigkeit, vielerlei auswendig zu lernen, sei Dank - sind ihm wohlbekannt, dennoch kann er sich nicht sonderlich gut in andere hineinversetzen und neigt dementsprechend nicht selten zu deplatzierten, sarkastischen oder gar zynischen Äußerungen. Alles jedoch soll sich ändern, als ihm die angestrebte Verlobung mit Prinzessin Elaxi Valthur von Adrores verkündigt wird. Nur zwei von vielen Momenten im Leben des Prinzen, die erzählt werden wollen.

Russian and Soviet cinema occupies a unique place in the history of world cinema. Legendary filmmakers such as Sergei Eisenstein, Vsevolod Pudovkin, Dziga Vertov, Andrei Tarkovsky, and Sergei Paradjanov have created oeuvres that are being screened and studied all over the world. The Soviet film industry was different from others because its main criterion of success was not profit, but the ideological and aesthetic effect on the viewer. Another important feature is Soviet cinema’s multinational (Eurasian) character: while Russian cinema was the largest, other national cinemas such as Georgian, Kazakh, and Ukrainian played a decisive role for Soviet cinema as a whole. The Historical Dictionary of Russian and Soviet Cinema provides a rich tapestry of factual information, together with detailed critical assessments of individual artistic accomplishments. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Russian and Soviet Cinema contains a chronology, an introduction, and a bibliography. The dictionary section has over 600 cross-referenced entries on directors, performers, cinematographers, composers, designers, producers, and studios. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Russian and Soviet Cinema.

The German lacuna in Edward Said’s 'Orientalism' has produced varied studies of German cultural and academic Orientalisms. So far the domains of German politics and scholarship have not been conflated to probe the central power/knowledge nexus of Said’s argument. Seeking to fill this gap, the diplomatic career and scholarly-literary productions of the centrally placed Friedrich Rosen serve as a focal point to investigate how politics influenced knowledge generated about the “Orient” and charts the roles knowledge played in political decision-making regarding extra-European regions. This is pursued through analyses of Germans in British imperialist contexts, cultures of lowly diplomatic encounters in Middle Eastern cities, Persian poetry in translation, prestigious Orientalist congresses in northern climes, leveraging knowledge in high-stakes diplomatic encounters, and the making of Germany’s Islam policy up to the Great War. Politics drew on bodies of knowledge and could promote or hinder scholarship. Yet, scholars never systemically followed empire in its tracks but sought their own paths to cognition. On their own terms or influenced by “Oriental” savants they aligned with politics or challenged claims to conquest and rule.
