Sergei Eisenstein’s "October" (1927) is a testament to his technical genius, as well as being one of the most remarkable works of propaganda cinema. With sequences such as the storming of the Winter Palace, Eisenstein recreated the 1917 October Revolution as a heroic spectacle, thus furnishing the fledgling Soviet Union with its founding myth.

Free Download Life Is a Dream (Central European Classics) by Gyula Krúdy, translated by John Bátki
English | 6 May 2010 | ISBN: 0141193034 | True EPUB | 240 pages | 2.6 MB
Life is a Dream (1931) is Gyula Krudy’s magical collection of ten short stories. Creating a world where editors shoot themselves after a hard day’s brunching, men attend duels incognito and lovers fall out over salad dressing, Life is a Dream is a comic, nostalgic, romantic and erotic glimpse into the Hungary of the early twentieth century. Focussing on the poor and dispossessed, these tales of love, food, death and sex are ironic and wise about the human condition and the futility of life, and display fully Krudy’s wit and mastery of the form.

Free Download Late Capitalism (Verso Classics) by Ernest Mandel

Late Capitalism is the first major synthesis to have been produced by the contemporary revival of Marxist economics. It represents, in fact, the only systematic attempt so far ever made to combine the general theory of the "laws of motion" of the capitalist mode of production developed by Marx, with the concrete history of capitalism in the twentieth century.

Free Download Gun Crazy (BFI Film Classics) by Jim Kitses
English | June 26, 1996 | ISBN: 0851705790 | True EPUB | 96 pages | 15.5 MB
Gun Crazy is the very essence of film noir, a low-budget, high-octane thriller whose reputation has grown with every passing year since its first appearance in 1950. While its story of two doomed lovers, crashing through the small towns of the mid-West, running the gauntlet of hold-ups and shoot-outs to a bloody nemesis, owes much to the true-life tale of Bonnie and Clyde, the film achieves an intense poetry eloquently expressive of the dark side of the American Dream.

English | 2 Oct. 2008 | ISBN: 0141189568 | True EPUB | 432 pages | 0.9 MB
Written when Mishima was only twenty-six, Forbidden Colors is a depiction of a male homosexual relationship, in which a rich older man buys the love of a young man who is stunningly handsome but who lacks the ability to love. As in Mann’s Death in Venice, the older man’s longing for the beauty of youth is associated with aestheticism and death.
