Then, in the mid-1950s, a torrent of Western novels, films, and paintings invaded Soviet streets and homes, acquiring heightened emotional significance. To See Paris and Die is a history of this momentous opening to the West.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of this history is a process of translation, in which Western figures took on Soviet roles: Pablo Picasso as a political rabble-rouser; Rockwell Kent as a quintessential American painter; Erich Maria Remarque and Ernest Hemingway as teachers of love and courage under fire; J. D. Salinger and Giuseppe De Santis as saviors from Soviet clichés. Imported novels challenged fundamental tenets of Soviet ethics, while modernist paintings tested deep-seated notions of culture. Western films were eroticized even before viewers took their seats. The drama of cultural exchange and translation encompassed discovery as well as loss.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eleonory Gilburd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":20834227028081,"sku":"PRH-978","price":899.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/0601\/7393\/products\/9780674980716.jpg?v=1550826614"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.booksetgo.com\/collections\/eleonory-gilburd\/language_english.oembed","provider":"BOOKSETGO","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
