Beschreibung

most volumes illustrated, some colour-printed, various sizes and formats (see above), good condition overall. Norman Swallow (1921-2000) went up to Keble College, Oxford at the end of the 1930s; war service interrupted his progress, but an opportunity at the BBC came up at the right time and he quickly developed a reputation; following a stint on Panorama he transferred to Granada, where, in 1967, he marked the fiftieth anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution with the documentary 'Ten Days that Shook the World' on this he collaborated with Grigori Aleksandrov, one of the most important film-makers of the Soviet era, and the co-director of Sergei Eisenstein's 'Oktober: Ten Days that Shook the World'. Aleksandrov was also involved with the two-part documentary on Eisenstein, written and produced by Swallow for the BBC's Omnibus programme in 1970. The books in this collection are mostly (in one instance, the inscription is by the equally-eminent Sergei Yutkevich) inscribed by Aleksandrov to Swallow, in each case either wishing success for or offering warm remembrance of the fruits of their collaboration, mentioning the respective films and paying continued tribute to Aleksandrov's mentor Eisenstein.
