In 1919, "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" took the world by storm, at once demonstrating that the cinema was capable of unprecedented sophistication and popularizing the horror movie. Eisner's classic study covers the history of "Caligari" and the genre it inspired: the German Expressionist Film. Covering the breadth of German Expressionism, Eisner introduces and analyzes some of the greatest films of all time, including "Nosferatu," "The Last Laugh" and "Metropolis," while describing the careers of the magnificent directors who worked within the genre: G.W. Pabst, F.W. Murnau and Fritz Lang.
Book Description
The Golden Age of German cinema began at the end of the First World War and ended shortly after the coming of sound. From The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari onwards the principal films of this period were characterized by two influences: literary Expressionism, and the innovations of the theatre directors of this period, in particular Max Reinhardt. This book demonstrates the connection between German Romanticism and the cinema through Expressionist writings. It discusses the influence of the theatre: the handling of crowds; the use of different levels, and of selective lighting on a predominately dark stage; the reliance on formalized gesture; the innovation of the intimate theatre. Against this background the principal films of the period are examined in detail. The author explains the key critical concepts of the time, and surveys not only the work of the great directors, such as Fritz Lang and F. W. Murnau, but also the contribution of their writers, cameramen, and designers. As The Times Literary Supplement wrote, 'Mme. Eisner is first and foremost a film critic, and one of the best in the world. She has all the necessary gifts.' And it described the original French edition of this book as 'one of the very few classics of writing on the film and arguably the best book on the cinema yet written.'

Great Pictures/Irritating Text.......2003-01-23
I know this is one of the classic books of film history and one of the most famous books on the films of the Weimar era.
However, I found it incredibly hard going. The photos are great and really give the reader a desire to see these gripping, strange films. The text, however, made me want to put the book down and read something else.
Perhaps the problem is that the book was written in French and translated into English, but the text did not flow. I was aware of having to work at reading this prose. The chapters did not especially seem to build on each other but seemed to leap from topic A to C to E then back to B.
Kracauer's "From Caligari to Hitler" is a far better overview of this era. "The Haunted Screen" will make you aware of some very interesting films, but it is best to treat it as a picture book and not a text to be read from cover to cover.
The white and the dark: spirit of german cinema.......2000-08-05
In this work, Lotte Eisner makes an inteligent analysis about the influences of the expressionism and german theater - specially Max Reinhardt theater - in the german cinema. It's important to know that expressionism have been confused, not rarely, with other kind of ideological and esthetical sources of influence. And about this confusion, this book brings a good help. The authorress identifies and points what comes from the expressionism and what is not, where are the traces of the expressionism, of the german theater or whatever. And besides, Lotte Eisner speaks about the work of great german directors, like F. W. Murnau, F. Lang and G. W. Pabst, making an interesting and complete review of the german masterpieces - for example Caligari, Nosferatu and Metropolis, . She also speaks a little about other films related to Germany, yet made in other countries. Since the authoress was one of the most important movie critics of Germany, and also a wickness of the new birth of german cinema after the First World War, her statements or reviews are solid and plenty of good reveals.

Most people know it's easier to get into prison than it is to get out. But for a journalist, just getting into Sing Sing, New York's notorious maximum-security prison, isn't easy. In fact, Ted Conover was so stymied by official channels that he took the only way in--other than crime--and became a New York State corrections officer: "I wanted to hear the voices one truly never hears, the voices of guards--those on the front lines of our prison policies, the society's proxies." Newjack is Conover's account of nearly a year at ground zero of the criminal justice system. What it reveals is a mix of the obvious and the absurd, with hypocrisies not unexpected considering that the land of the free shares with Russia the distinction of having the world's largest prison population. As of December 1999, it was projected that the number of people incarcerated in the United States would reach 2 million in 2000.
This is the world Conover enters when he, along with other new recruits, undergoes seven weeks of pseudomilitary preparation at the Albany Training Academy. Then it's off to Sing Sing for the daily grind of prison life. Conover correctly and vividly captures the essence of that life, its tedium interspersed with the adrenaline rush of an "incident" and the edge of fear that accompanies every action. He also details how the guards experience their own feelings of confinement, often at the hands of the inmates:
A consequence of putting men in cells and controlling their movements is that they can do almost nothing for themselves. For their various needs they are dependent on one person, their gallery officer. Instead of feeling like a big, tough guard, the gallery officer at the end of the day often feels like a waiter serving a hundred tables or like the mother of a nightmarishly large brood of sullen, dangerous, and demanding children. When grown men are infantilized, most don't take to it too nicely.
And not taking to it nicely often involves violence. Indeed, the constant potential for violence on any scale makes even humdrum assignments dangerous. It's astonishing that more doesn't happen, given that the majority of the 1,800 inmates have been convicted of violent felonies: murder, manslaughter, rape, robbery, assault, kidnapping, burglary, arson. But beneath the simmering rage rests an unexpected sensitivity that Conover captures brilliantly. After encountering a Hispanic inmate with a tattoo of a heartbreaking passage from The Diary of Anne Frank on his back, he writes: "It was easier to stay incurious as an officer. Under the inmates' surface bluster, their cruelty and selfishness, was almost always something ineffably sad." Ultimately, the emphasis of Conover's work is on the toll prison exacts--most immediately on the jailed and their jailers, but also on a society that puts both there in increasing numbers. --Gwen Bloomsburg
Book Description
Acclaimed journalist Ted Conover sets a new standard for bold, in-depth reporting in this first-hand account of life inside the penal system.
When Conover’s request to shadow a recruit at the New York State Corrections Officer Academy was denied, he decided to apply for a job as a prison officer. So begins his odyssey at Sing Sing, once a model prison but now the state’s most troubled maximum-security facility. The result of his year there is this remarkable look at one of America’s most dangerous prisons, where drugs, gang wars, and sex are rampant, and where the line between violator and violated is often unclear. As sobering as it is suspenseful,
Newjack is an indispensable contribution to the urgent debate about our country’s criminal justice system, and a consistently fascinating read.
Customer Reviews:
Nothing New.......2007-07-12
While on the surface, the idea of Conover immersing himself into the NY maximum security prison system as a corrections officer (CO) seemed to be a recipe for an exciting book, Newjack did not live up to its hype. Somewhere in the book it was mentioned that to become a mature CO, 4-5 years of work experience is necessary. Consequently, the one year Conover spent in New York's Sing Sing maximum security prison was hardly enough time to learn and build the kind of relationships necessary for a thoughtful and entertaining book. Instead, the parts of the book I found to be the most interesting were the historical accounts of who had the most influence in how the U.S. and NY prison systems evolved.
Unfortunately, there wasn't a whole lot of new ground covered through Conover's personal experience during guard training or in Sing Sing. The old clichés of prison guards as mean SOBs and apathetic prisoners beyond rehabilitation were reinforced.
I commend Conover's dedication to compiling material from firsthand experience, but Newjack was mildly entertaining and even less educational in terms of observations of inmate behavior, or new ideas in improving the system. Like most journalist authors, Conover is not much of a story teller, and his book would have had richer content had he been allowed to shadow an experienced CO as he set out to do initally, but was denied.
Conover's Best.......2007-05-21
Chameleon journalist Ted Conover trains as a prison guard and works in Sing Sing, giving readers an intense look into prison life and the dynamics of the guards and guarded.
Intense, intensely personal, and full of insight into the prison system itself.
Best part is his history of the US penitentiary system, which most of us don't study in US History classes! Highly readable, well-researched section that should be of interest to all US citizens.
An incredible journey, a well-written account.
Much Respect.......2005-10-17
I have to give the author credit. When he was denied the right to shadow a C.O. (Corrections Officer), he became one. This is not as simple as it sounds. He literally swore an oath to protect the inmates and the lives of his fellow officers. He worked the job with dedication, and got some great material out of it. I was wary, because I thought he might have been playing C.O. But, working in Sing Sing, you don't "play" anything. Bravo.
A Great Adventure Behind Bars........2005-07-30
Some investigative reporters will do anything for a story. We see it all the time on T.V. news. This one tends to live dangerously; he wrote about American Illegal Aliens in 1987 -- I wish he would do a followup as so much has changed in that regard in the past twenty years or so.
In this book, Ted Conover worked for a yar at the Sing Sing prison (where they held the Rosenbergs back in the '50s) in upstate New York. Next to Alcatraz out in the ocean off California, this possibly is the most dangerous place to encounter hard criminals. Not that I am saying that the Rosenbergs were criminals; perhaps the husband was, but Ethel was not -- and it was a travesty of justice to take her away from her two sons. I've done some research in that case, and I know for a fact that she was not involved, but her brother was. They went to Los Alamos to gather information for the Russians; that made them considered 'spies.' Ethel never would have been capable of that, just as Alger Hiss was not!
We have a local investigative reporter who goes places for background of articles but he goes where he will be simply an unknown and have a good time while he is snooping out the info he needs for a good article. He is good and improving every year. He might some day catch up to Ted Conover.
He takes such risks in his endeavor to keep the public informed of the bad side of life. Those men and women incarcerated, for the most part, committed horendous crimes and will again -- even on the guards if possible. Not all are that way. Some are there because they were framed, like Ethel Rosenberg. He went through prison guard training, though from the prison movies I've seen they aren't particularly smart, just mean.
This book was a touch of Hell as they know it and experience it every day. That's why I am against the death penalty; keeping folks locked up away from the people they love (and hate) is a much worse fate than a quick death.
A great public service..........2005-07-04
Walter Cronkite once said that the citizens of a country have a right to know what's being done in their name. It's a simple enough premise: public institutions, spending public money, should be subject to public scrutiny. And yet, the nation's prisons and jails remain practically invisible to the public eye, thanks to both their media-shy temperament and a relatively incurious media. Newspapers and television may flock to chronicle shocking crimes and sensational trials, but when the sentences have been handed down and the headlines are fading, the public mentality seems to be "out of sight, out of mind."
Journalist Ted Conover sought to redress this problem, to understand the corrections system in New York State and, in particular, the corrections officers who, on behalf of the public, guard those deemed unfit for society. Towards that end, he wanted to follow a rookie C.O. through training and into an initial posting, but was repeatedly denied permission to do so. Rebuffed by the powers-that-be, stymied by the system, he settled on an even better and more original solution: to become that rookie C.O. himself.
Many journalists aspire to be (or pretend to be) completely objective--dispassionate chroniclers of the world, separate from the people and situations they write about. The brilliance of Conover's book is that he took a completely opposite tack, enmeshing himself in the system rather than trying to observe it at arm's length. And in doing so, he has created an excellent, compelling, and thoroughly informative book, one that dismantles many stereotypes about prisons and guards, stripping away the lumpy old layers of paint and showing the true shape and color of things.
Many of his most insightful observations deal with a very poorly understood subject--the effects of incarceration on the guards. At the outset of his experiences, Conover wonders whether guards truly are the brutal people depicted so often in prison movies and, if so, whether they are drawn to the work because they are insensitive, mean people or whether they become that way because of the work. By the end of his time guarding Sing Sing, he seems convinced that the latter is often the case, that warehousing people can end up dehumanizing both the people being warehoused and the people doing the warehousing. The stress and strain of prison, it seems, seeps into the lives of C.O.s, resulting in higher rates of alcoholism and divorce. (Those who pick this book up expecting an overly-sensitive, "Cool Hand Luke"-ish rant about cruel C.O.s and maltreated prisoners will find themselves pleasantly surprised by the author's fairness and empathy towards his fellow guards.)
Prison sex, too, appears far differently on the inside than it does in popular culture. While prison rape is a staple of movies and shows about incarceration ("The Shawshank Redemption", "Oz"), Conover concludes that most prison sex is, in fact, consensual. Such observations may seem like voyeurism, but they are not; given the lower availability of condoms, the higher rates of infection for sexually transmitted diseases (particularly HIV) and the fact that many of these men will eventually leave prison (possibly to rejoin thier families), prison sex is a factor that fundamentally alters the incarceration equation.
Despite its overall excellence and its willingness to take on such edgy topics, the book isn't a completely thorough or representative picture of New York State's corrections system. The author readily admits that Sing Sing is an atypical prison, with a larger percentage of minority guards and unseasoned officers than the upstate facilities; it would have been interesting if he'd been willing or able to spend longer in the system and get a better look at those institutions.
Still, this complaint is insignificant when compared with the book's overall virtues. "Newjack" is a great public service, a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the consequences of the nation's get-tough-on-crime mentality. While many people affect a cavalier don't-do-the-crime-if-you-can't-do-the-time air, Conover's book shows that this is a very myopic attitude--prisoners will do the time, and they will emerge, and the experiences they face on the inside will help determine whether they will do the crime again or instead find a place in society. Given that fact, society should try to better understand what life is like for them--and for the guards who do the public's thankless bidding.

Buy two!.......2000-04-15
Anyone interested in promoting social justice through song needs this book, and at all times a spare one stuck in the guitar case or piano bench because you'll want to pass it on to others. It contains 115 songs (mostly melody lines and guitar chords); 135 crisply reproduced documentary photos from the civil rights movement and dozens of first-hand accounts from people who were there. In many cases, the writer, arranger or discoverer of the song provides the background notes. There is a companion CD by Folkways records with the same name that contains about 1/5 of the songs; it makes a nice set. Every library should have this book - what a vital way to teach history! Editors Guy and Candy Carawan are resident musicians at the Highlander Center and were in the center leading the music at many of the events discussed.

Great advice on finding freedom in singing.......1998-05-31
Salaman has written a little gem of a vocal instruction book based on the "bel canto" style of singing. In the book, she includes exercises for starting the note and vowel centering, agility, vibrazione, messa di voce, and resonance and offers solid advice on daily practice. She also offers valuable advice on dealing with performance anxiety and tension, vocal strain, and the "pleasures and perils of the singing profession." This book is for singers in the more advanced stages of training or for teachers of singing, not necessarily for beginners.
Book Description
Miracle at Sing Sing How One Man Transformed the Lives of America's Most Dangerous Prisoners Ralph Blumenthal The New York Times journalist and acclaimed author of Stork Club returns to the Jazz Age and beyond to explore the powerful story of one man whose faith in humanity lit up the darkest corner of America n 1919, Lewis E. Lawes moved his wife and three young daughters into the warden's mansion at Sing Sing prison. They shared a yard with 1,096 of the toughest inmates in the world-murderers, rapists, and thieves whom Lawes alone believed capable of redemption. Presiding over 300 executions, Lawes was a humane man who despised the death penalty and felt that if criminals were treated with respect, they would be respected in return. This prompted him to organ-ize the legendary football games for his 'boys,' allow a kidnapper to care for his children, and a cut-throat to shave him every morning. This is an inspiring story of the ultimate monument to failure-a prison and its prisoners-and how one man proved that no one is beyond redemption.

The Man Who Made Sing Sing Sing.......2006-03-24
Lewis Lawes was the warden of Sing Sing prison for nearly 25 years when previous wardens lasted a period of a few months to a few years. Those who were jealous of Warden Lawes criticized his methods of running the prison with his belief in treating the prisoners with respect and dignity while still maintaining discipline through mutual respect. Although several individuals walked to their death in the prison's electric chair Lawes was an opponent of the death penalty. He also felt it sad that several prisoners had to go to prison in order to learn a trade rather than in an educational system outside the prison. Since most of the prisoners never had an education beyond the sixth grade they should have been able to acquire a trade when academics was not suited to them. He often referred to the men in the prison as his "boys" and while in New York City he and his wife may have been in a restaurant when the waiter came over to them and said the meal was "on the chef", one of Lawes's former "boys." The same held true when riding in a taxi. The driver would say the ride was on him, one of the warden's former "boys." Lawes felt a special kinship towards the men he was in control of, and he felt personally offended and disappointed when in April of 1941 the worst breakout in Sing Sing's history occurred and two guards were killed. The inevitable criticism took place saying that Lawes was too lenient with his prisoners, but Lawes was not found to be at fault in what took place. Nevertheless, Lawes felt let down by what happened and he resigned shortly thereafter. Lewis Lawes was a very respected warden of Sing Sing prison, and regardless of the prison break that took place under his watch, he brought stability to the prison that went through several wardens over short periods of time that weren't able manage the situation they found themselves in. There are a few other books about Sing Sing prison that contain some overlapping of information found in this book, but I found it to be worth my time nonetheless.
Inspiring to Prisoners, Inspiring for Readers.......2004-07-21
The prison movie has been a staple for decades, with perhaps its peak in the thirties. It will come as a surprise that much of Hollywood's fascination for prison life, shown in pictures like _20,000 Years in Sing Sing_, was due to an enormously popular penologist, warden Lewis E. Lawes, who served at Sing Sing from 1919 to 1942. Indeed, Lawes wrote the book on which that movie is based, as well as other best-selling books turned into movies, and stage and radio plays. He liked being a media star, but he was also a devoted public servant with humanitarian aims for the prisoners in his charge. _Miracle at Sing Sing: How One Man Transformed the Lives of America's Most Dangerous Prisoners_ (St. Martin's Press) is an absorbing look at Lawes's work within the prison and without, and has lessons for our own time.
Lawes started as a guard, moved into youth reformatories, and had success in getting the youths to work together. His successes took him to the intimidating assignment of warden at Sing Sing. Lawes wanted the job and campaigned for it, but he knew what he was up against; he was the seventh warden in four years. In his first address to the men, he even joked about the impermanence: "If you want to get out of this place quickly, you have to come in as warden." The men laughed, but they also heard from him that they would get privileges that they earned, and that as the warden walked the yard he wanted to be addressed on any subject they liked. He believed in sunshine, open air, sports and music as civilizing influences. His sports efforts became legendary. The Sing Sing Orioles played the New York Yankees (with Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig) at Lawes Field in 1929 (Yankees 15, Orioles 3). The outcomes of the games didn't much matter. The effort meant a lot to "the boys" as he called them, and there were no incidents of foul play or attempts to take advantage of the crowds to escape. He had a cutthroat give him a shave every day, and other felons were nannies to his three daughters. There were failures, but there were countless inmates who learned some civilizing lessons and when free, remembered them. When Lawes visited New York, taxi drivers would refuse his fare: "It's on me, boss. I'm one of the boys."
Lawes would have seen his greatest failure as his inability to curb capital punishment. When he got to the prison, he favored the electric chair, but as he saw it at work on the condemned, and as he realized that it was doing little for deterrence, he actively worked against it, even as he was responsible for the state-mandated deaths of one inmate after another. He also was aghast at the Baumes laws, which were similar to our three-strikes-you're-out philosophy, by which four-time losers were imprisoned without hope of ever leaving prison alive. Lawes viewed robbing men of hope as the greatest of crimes. The anecdotes of prison life given here are detailed and engaging. Blumenthal has sketched pictures of Charles Chapin, the wife-murderer who became the prison's renowned rose gardener, George Parker who really did sell the Brooklyn Bridge to a rube for $50,000, and Willie Sutton who repeatedly and memorably robbed banks for the inescapable reason, "That's where the money is." Blumenthal's book is an entertaining depiction of colorful characters and a humane, confident warden who made a difference in their lives.

Book Description
Lewis Lawes was a man who was quite influential in the correctional history of the United States. His writings and his political contacts put him in a unique position to talk constructively about the important criminal justice issues during the 1920's and the 1930's. The topics debated during this time period, juvenile justice, gun control, the death penalty and what the role of prisons should be, are just as relevant today.

Book Description
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, such songs as "We Shall Overcome," "Keep Your Eyes on the Prize," and "Do What the Spirit Says Do" were sung at virtually every mass meeting, demonstration, and planning session of Civil Rights activists. They were sung on the Freedom Rides, during the marches, and in jail cells of the South. Movement activists have commented frequently and eloquently on the ways that singing and songs gave them strength and a sense of self. This study offers a close analysis of the lyrics of the songs most central to the Civil Rights Movement, with an eye to understanding the songs as self-persuasion. In the songs, the activists defined themselves and their world, and reinforced a plan of action for their participation in the Movement. This analysis of the freedom songs is set in the context of Movement history and supported with commentary from activists and background information on Movement activities. In addition, this study offers readers insights into the moving and inspiring power of the freedom songs.
