Spanish Lessons(English, Electronic book text, Smith Paul Julian) is written by Smith Paul Julian and published by Berghahn Books. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1785331094 (ISBN 10) and 9781785331091 (ISBN 13).

Though unjustly neglected by English-language audiences, Spanish film and television not only represent a remarkably influential and vibrant cultural industry; they are also a fertile site of innovation in the production of "transmedia" works that bridge narrative forms. In Spanish Lessons, Paul Julian Smith provides an engaging exploration of visual culture in an era of collapsing genre boundaries, accelerating technological change, and political-economic tumult. Whether generating new insights into the work of key figures like Pedro Almodovar, comparing media depictions of Spain's economic woes, or giving long-overdue critical attention to quality television series, Smith's book is a consistently lively and accessible cultural investigation.
