This is the second part of a projected three-part epic biopic of Russian Czar Ivan Grozny, undertaken by Soviet film-maker Sergei Eisenstein at the behest of Josef Stalin. Production of the epic was stopped before the third part could be filmed, due to producer dissatisfaction with Eisenstein's introducing forbidden experimental filming techniques into the material, more evident in this part than the first part. As it was, this second part was banned from showings until after the deaths of both Eisenstein and Stalin, and a change of attitude by the subsequent heads of the Soviet government. In this part, as Ivan the Terrible attempts to consolidate his power by establishing a personal army, his political rivals, the Russian boyars, plot to assassinate him.

北宋中期积弊至深、内忧外患扰攘之际，政治改革的领袖人物王安石以“天变不足畏，祖宗不足法，流俗之言就足恤”的精神，一身任天下之责，推动富国富民强兵为宗旨的变法革新运动。苏轼说：王安石才识“名高一时，学贯千载”，“瑰玮之文足以藻饰万物，卓绝之行足以风动四方”；其魄力“能于期岁之间，靡然变天下之俗。” 王安石“三不足”的境界，使他成为当时思想界的先进人物，同时也成为脱离了广大知识阶层的人物，加上政治风云的变幻，倾泻于王安石身上的污泥浊水，始自生前，至南宋则愈演愈烈，几近千年而未得涤清。 邓广铭先生自上世纪五十年代始，倾注了巨大心力，历经半个世纪四写王安石，体现了一个史学家的时代眼光与严谨精神。本书铺展出颇具特色的熙宁变法改制图景，凸显出一个抖落掉污染、误解和扭曲的政治改革家形象，使王安石以其本来的风度和丰采，再现于读者面前。 序言 第一章 当国执政以前的王安石 第一节 从童幼到青少年 一、王安石诞生的时间、地点 二、王安石的父母 三、王安石青少年时期的心路历程 第二节 进士及第和初入仕途 一、本是合格的状元 二、在签书淮南东路节度判官厅公事任上 三、在知鄞县任上 第三节 王安石愿作地方官“以少施其所学” 一、做舒州通判 二、在江东提刑任内的一些事 第四节 王安石再到北宋朝廷供职 一、勉强就任三司度支判官 奏进长达万言的《言事书》 二、参加了是否续行榷茶法的讨论 三、参与相度牧马监变革问题的商讨 四、为王安石的《明妃曲》辩诬 第二章 宋神宗起用王安石 王安石变法革新 第一节 任翰林学士期内的王安石 第二节 王安石在法家思想指导下变法革新 第三节 王安石变法革新的精神支柱——“三不足”精神 第三章 王安石入参大政时治国安邦的两大抱负 第一节 向大自然讨取财富的为天下理财之法 第二节 王安石吞来西夏契丹统一中国的战略设想 第四章 王安石推行新法及其所遇阻力 第一节 有关理财和兴农的各种新法 第二节 有关恢复民兵制度和加强军队作战实力的两种新法 第五章 王安石对待敌国外患的决策 第六章 王安石的两次罢相 第七章 宋神宗的逝世与宋廷政局的大变 第八章 对王安石变法的评价 第九章 王安石的墓年和身后 附志 编后
