Book Description
One afternoon, the peace was shattered by the leather snap of a whip biting into human flesh. Blood trickled down a man's back in rivulets and fell in large drops into the sand. Another whip flashed, as soldiers administered punishment to their prisoners. At that same time, a stagecoach en route from San Pedro carried a handful of passengers - including the Irish Colonel. When the coach arrived at Reina de los Angeles, would the Colonel prove a savior or despot to the citizens? Was he friend or foe to the man called Zorro? In the pueblo of Los Angeles California, nearly 200 years ago, a dread malady had crept in - the disease of oppression. Then - out of the mystery of the unknown - appeared a masked rider who patrolled the great el Camino Real highway. He alone inspired the people to rise up and resist tyranny. That man was Zorro!

Book Description
Cinema of Swords is a history, guide, and love letter to over four hundred movies and television shows featuring swashbucklers: knights, pirates, samurai, Vikings, gladiators, outlaw heroes like Zorro and Robin Hood, and anyone else who lives by the blade and solves their problems with the point of a sword. Though swordplay thrives as a mainstay of current pop culture—whether Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings or Star Wars—swashbuckling was if anything even more ubiquitous during Hollywood’s classic period, from its foundations in the Silent Era up through the savage bursts of fantasy films in the ‘80s. With this huge cinematic backlist of classics now available online and on-demand, Cinema of Swords traces the roots and branches of this unruly genre, highlighting classics of the form and pointing fans toward thrilling new gems they never knew existed. With wry summaries and criticism from swordplay expert Lawrence Ellsworth, this comprehensive guidebook is perfect as a reference work or as a dazzling Hollywood history to be read end-to-end.
