Böcker av Robert A. Rosenstone

A collection of stories by an award-winning historian that preserves fragments of memory-true or false, remembered or imagined-from three generations of a Jewish family

Rosenstone investigates how a visual medium, subject to conventions of drama and fiction, might be used as a serious vehicle for thinking about our relationship with the past. Employing such films as Reds, JFK, and Sans Soleil, he considers issues like the rapport between fact and film and the documentary as visionary truth.
