There are at least three ways to determine length:. Character count is at best an estimation of spaces, written characters and punctuation; Guinness World Records uses this criterion. Word count (omitting punctuation) is another method. Using computer software to count words is the current preferred method for academia and publications. However it is not very meaningful when comparing different languages, for instance because some languages use more words to express a given idea than others. A rough way to count words in an English language text is to assume that a standard formatted page with 12 pt Courier font and double-spaced lines is 250 words. Due to formatting, page count is subject to change from font, style, formatting or paper size of the published work and cannot be considered a reliable measure of length, despite it being the easiest physical indicator of length.For the purposes of this list, word count is ideal.
Page count is a rough indicator of length; for completeness the page size will be included.A particular difficulty is created when comparing word counts across different writing systems. The logographic used to write East Asian languages each represent one morpheme and are not separated by spaces. The same character may at times stand for one word, and other times form part of a larger word. For instance the characters zhong 中 and guo 国 can be used independently to mean 'middle' and 'kingdom', respectively, but can also be combined into Zhongguo 中国, 'China' (i.e. 'The Middle Kingdom'). One could theoretically construct a noun phrase Zhongguo zhong guo 中国中国 meaning 'kingdoms in the middle of China'. The absence of any formal marking of word boundaries means that it would be difficult to mechanically determine if such a phrase consists of two, three, or four words without knowing.
East Asian bibliographies therefore generally give only the character count without attempting any word count.A rough approximation can sometimes be obtained by citing the word count of a translation into a Latin alphabet language like (if such a translation exists), but this will vary to some extent depending on the style of English adopted by the translator. However citing a translation has the advantage that it indicates how many words are required to convey the same meaning in the target text, not how many 'words' the source text actually contains.Definitions. What counts as a novel is another variable. For the purposes of the list, a 'novel' is defined as a single work in print or electronic form that has been published through a mainstream publisher and that has acquired publishing rights from authors. A 'single work' includes works thought of as one novel by the author, but published in multiple volumes for reasons of convenience.Excluded are, works, unpublished novels like 's, like the, novel cycles such as those set in the universe, and record-grabbing stunts written solely for the title of the longest work.List. Tokugawa Ieyasu by Sohachi Yamaoka : The 40 volumes of this historical novel were published serially between 1950 and 1967.

These highly emotional and consciously theatrical melodramas posed moral questions with stylish flair, redefining popular ways of feeling about romance, family, gender, class, Catholicism, Italy, and feeling itself. The Operatic and the Everyday in Postwar Italian Film Melodrama argues for the centrality of melodrama to Italian culture.
It uncovers a wealth of films rarely discussed before including family melodramas, the crime stories of neorealismo popolare and opera films, and provides interpretive frameworks that position them in wider debates on aesthetics and society. The book also considers the well-established topics of realism and arthouse auteurism, and re-thinks film history by investigating the presence of melodrama in neorealism and post-war modernism. It places film within its broader cultural context to trace the connections of canonical melodramatists like Visconti and Matarazzo to traditions of opera, the musical theatre of the sceneggiata, visual arts, and magazines. In so doing it seeks to capture the artistry and emotional experiences found within a truly popular form.

The editors' introduction provides a conceptual and methodological overview, arguing that the producer's complex and multifaceted role is crucial to a film's success or failure. The collection is divided into three sections where detailed individual essays explore a broad range of contrasting producers working in different historical, geographical, generic and industrial contexts.
Rather than suggest there is a single type of producer, the collection analyses the rich variety of roles producers play, providing fascinating and informative insights into how the film industry actually works. This groundbreaking collection challenges several of the conventional orthodoxies of film studies, providing a new approach that will become required reading for scholars and students.

Now, more than forty years later, film critic and Fellini confidant Tullio Kezich has written the work by which all other biographies of the filmmaker are sure to be measured. In this moving and intimately revealing account of a lifetime spent in pictures, Kezich uses his friendship with Fellini as a means to step outside the frame of myth and anecdote that surrounds him—much, it turns out, of the director's own making. A great lover of women and a meticulous observer of dreams, Fellini, perhaps more than any other director of the twentieth century, created films that embodied a thoroughly modern sensibility, eschewing traditional narrative along with religious and moral precepts.
His is an art of delicate pathos, of episodic films that directly address the intersection of reality, fantasy, and desire that exists as a product of mid-century Italy—a country reeling from a Fascist regime as it struggled with an outmoded Catholic national identity. As Kezich reveals, the dilemmas Fellini presents in his movies reflect not only his personal battles but those of Italian society.
