"This Encyclopedia of Oscar winning movie directors, actors, and actresses has been conceived as work of reference for the serious students of art of cinema. Since the very days of silent movies, this medium has showed its potential as a powerful means of communicating. Soon after it became the technicolor talkies, movies dealing with real-life themes, sci-fi. love, sex, war, espionage, serial killers, underworld crime took America, Europe and rest of the world by storm. As every genre of art imitates life, so did the movies to scale new heights of achievements. Notwithstanding dealing the fanciful themes of love, umpteen films dealt seriously with the issue of men-women relations.

"Besides these, this encyclopedia contains a vast array of dazzling Oscar Winning movies which by sheer dint of their power and magic had won high acclaim the world over and would keep doing so in the times to come." (jacket)

  • A thousand thanks for promptly sending the Pali English Dictionary which I had needed urgently. The securely packed parcel arrived safely here in the South of France all the way from distant India. I am happy that this large volume is still in mint condition. 

    I know of no other Indian publisher whose books can equal the superb quality of Vedams books. Similarly, no other Indian distributor of books can excel Vedams as regards the quickness of service, the perfect packing of books and their safe delivery at overseas destinations.
