Why are Hollywood movies successful around the world, while foreign films are almost guaranteed to be box-office poison in the United States? Are foreign films concerned with topics and problems of no interest to Americans, making it hard to relate to these films? Or are foreign films simply underrepresented in the large group of films battling over the American movie viewer's attention? This study tries to answer these questions through a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the perception of foreign films by American college students: How do they react to these films? Have they ever watched foreign films before? Are they prejudiced against movies which weren't "made in the U.S.A."? Is it possible to change their opinion? Can foreign films be more popular in the United States? If so, how?

Their Eyes Were Watching God, an American classic, is the luminous and haunting novel about Janie Crawford, a Southern Black woman in the 1930s, whose journey from a free-spirited girl to a woman of independence and substance has inspired writers and readers for close to 70 years. This poetic, graceful love story, rooted in Black folk traditions and steeped in mythic realism, celebrates boldly and brilliantly African-American culture and heritage. And in a powerful, mesmerizing narrative, it pays quiet tribute to a Black woman who, though constricted by the times, still demanded to be heard. Originally published in 1937 and long out of print, the book was reissued in 1975 and nearly three decades later Their Eyes Were Watching God is considered a seminal novel in American fiction. Performed by Ruby Dee

Divine Invasions is the definitive biography of one of America's greatest novelists and science fiction's greatest ambassador to literary audiences. Philip K. Dick loosened the bonds of the genre, ultimately making his reputation as a literary writer who happened to write speculative fiction, and profoundly influencing such writers as Pynchon, Delillo, David Foster Wallace, and Jonathan Lethem. Divine Invasions is being reissued to coincide with the fall 2005 release of "A Scanner Darkly," a film based on Dick's novel of the same name.

The fourth installment of Bernard Cornwell's bestselling series chronicling the epic saga of the making of England, "like Game of Thrones, but real" ( The Observer , London)-the basis for The Last Kingdom , the hit BBC America television series. The year is 885, and England is at peace, divided between the Danish kingdom to the north and the Saxon kingdom of Wessex in the south. Uhtred, the dispossessed son of a Northumbrian lord-warrior by instinct, Viking by nature-has finally settled down. He has land, a wife and two children, and a duty given to him by King Alfred to hold the frontier on the Thames. But then trouble stirs: a dead man has risen, and new Vikings have arrived to occupy the decayed Roman city of London. Their dream is to conquer Wessex, and to do it they need Uhtred's help. Alfred has other ideas. He wants Uhtred to expel the Viking raiders from London. Uhtred must weigh his oath to the king against the dangerous turning tide of shifting allegiances and deadly power struggles. And other storm clouds are gathering: Alfred's daughter is newly married, but by a cruel twist of fate, her very existence now threatens Alfred's kingdom. It is Uhtred-half Saxon, half Dane-whose uncertain loyalties must now decide England's future. Sword Song is Cornwell's finest work yet-vivid with period detail, this breathtaking adventure throroughly reimagines one of the most fascinating tales in all of history-the birth of England-and breathes life into the brilliant king who made it possible: Alfred the Great.

The eighth installment of Bernard Cornwell’s bestselling series chronicling the epic saga of the making of England, “like Game of Thrones, but real” (The Observer, London)—the basis for The Last Kingdom, the hit BBC America television series. My name is Uhtred. I am the son of Uhtred, who was the son of Uhtred . . .’ Britain, early tenth century AD: a time of change. There are new raids by the Vikings from Ireland, and turmoil among the Saxons over the leadership of Mercia. A younger generation is taking over. When Æthelred, the ruler of Mercia, dies, he leaves no legitimate heir. The West Saxons want their king, but Uhtred has long supported Æthelflaed, sister to King Edward of Wessex and widow of Æethelred. Widely loved and respected, Æthelflaed has all the makings of a leader—but can Saxon warriors ever accept a woman as their ruler? The stage is set for rivals to fight for the empty throne. With this eighth entry in the epic Saxon Tales series, we are reminded once again why New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell is “the most prolific and successful historical novelist in the world today” (Wall Street Journal).

A collection of 18 pieces of writing, Shoes and Stockings by Louisa May Alcott comes with stories about war, love and other important topics, making readers laugh at times, bringing them to tears at other times, and always getting them to contemplate. Louisa May Alcott was one of the most prolific American writers of the 19th century. She wrote novels and poems, and she published her letters written to her family while she was recovering from typhoid after she had started work as a nurse during the Civil War.She also wrote critical articles about hospital management and about the problems she encountered while she was working as a nurse, but what made her name widely known was her short stories. Many of the female characters in the Shoes and Stockings stories are in fact figures inspired by the author's own life. Alcott's work was largely influenced by her education and her path in life – in her youth, she received education not only from her father, but also from Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ralph Waldo Emerson and other influential figures of the age who were all family friends of the Alcotts. Louisa May had to start earning her own money at a very young age – she worked as a seamstress, a governess and a teacher, too, experiences that appear in her writing as well. She was also an abolitionist, one of the first feminist writers of her times and a supporter of women's suffrage. She never married and never had children, but she knew and loved children – affection she expressed in her numerous children's stories. This collection contains stories written for adults, young and old alike, and it includes two of Alcott's most popular pieces, a light-hearted story entitled Kitty's Class Day and Aunt Kipp, another masterfully written story about family and money (or rather, the lack of it).
