Subject: A new Biography on Sergei Eisenstein
 
SERGEI EISENSTEIN. A BIOGRAPHY
BY OKSANA BULGAKOWA
 
PotemkinPress is now publishing
Oksana Bulgakowa's Eisenstein Biography.
 
This biography came into being after extensive research in Moscow,
Berlin, Paris, New York, and Los Angeles. The author is the first to
analyze Sergei Eisenstein’s diaries and correspondence—materials that
were inaccessible in the past. Eisenstein’s relations—with Freemasons,
Rosicrucians and Stalin, with rivals, admirers and psychoanalysts—are no
longer faded out.
Was Eisenstein homosexual? A Stalinist? A conformist? A dissident? He
left no clear answers for his biographers. 
Oksana Bulgakowa's study of Eisenstein’s life tries to uncover these
themes in his films and drawings, between the lines of his diaries and
letters, in his drafts to screenplays, projects, and scientific
research. Late in life Eisenstein viewed his research as his only
possible means of salvation from the compromises he had consciously made
with himself and his creativity.
 
"The most thorough, best documented, and most richly probing biography
of Eisenstein now available." --- Stuart Liebman, Cineaste Magazine, New
York
