TEHRAN-- John Steinbecks story The Forgotten Village has actually just recently been released by the Taq publishing house in Tehran.Originally released in 1941, the book has actually been translated into Persian by Yusef Najafi Jablu.The novelist who composed The Grapes of Wrath and the director who produced Crisis and Lights Out in Europe combined their outstanding skills to tell the story of the coming of modern-day medicine to the natives of Mexico.There have been numerous significant examples of this pen-camera approach of narrative, however The Forgotten Village is unique amongst them because the text was composed before a single image was shot.
The book and the film from which it was made have, hence, connection and a remarkable growth not to be found in the so-called documentary films.Headed by Kline and with Steinbecks script at hand, the camera team spent 9 months off the tracks of Mexico taping this narrative of birth and death, of witch doctors and vaccines, of the old Mexico and the brand-new.
They traveled thousands of miles to discover just the town they required; they obtained kids from the government school, took guys from the fields, their better halves from the markets, and an old medication lady from her hut by the side of the path.
The movie they made (for release in 1941) is 8,000 feet long.
From this wealth of pictures 136 photographs were picked for their intrinsic appeal and for the elegant harmony with which they accompany Steinbecks text.This new script-photograph technique of narrative communicates its ideas with unexcelled luster and immediacy.
In the hands of such master writers as Steinbeck and Kline, it makes the reader capture his or her breath for the beauty and the truth of the tale.Photo: Front cover of the Persian edition of John Steinbecks book The Forgotten Village .
