Book Description
C'est l'histoire de Xavier, un être possessif, jaloux, calculateur, avare, lâche, égocentrique, sans ambition, hypocrite, menteur, méchant. Agnès sa femme est jolie, gentille et intelligente. On se demande comment, elle peut rester avec lui. Personne ne l'aurait voulu pour ami et il n'a aucun ami ; aucun père pour fils, même pas son propre père ; aucune mère, sauf la sienne qui l'idolâtre aveuglément. Une seule fois dans sa vie, sur son fils, elle ne se trompera pas ; le jour où elle dira lors d'un repas familial : « Vous verrez; bientôt mon Xavier vous montrera ce dont il est capable ! » Xavier aura un accident de moto, déclaré mort, il reviendra à la vie après avoir vécu une extraordinaire expérience aux frontières de la mort. Après son retour sur terre, il montrera effectivement ce dont il était capable. Il révélera ce qu'il y avait au fond de lui-même ; en définitive, si nous cherchons bien, ce que nous avons tous...

A Woman Who Defends All the Persons of Her Sex
Author: Gabrielle SuchonPublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226779238
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 413
Book Description
During the oppressive reign of Louis XIV, Gabrielle Suchon (1632–1703) was the most forceful female voice in France, advocating women’s freedom and self-determination, access to knowledge, and assertion of authority. This volume collects Suchon’s writing from two works—Treatise on Ethics and Politics (1693) and On the Celibate Life Freely Chosen; or, Life without Commitments (1700)—and demonstrates her to be an original philosophical and moral thinker and writer. Suchon argues that both women and men have inherently similar intellectual, corporeal, and spiritual capacities, which entitle them equally to essentially human prerogatives, and she displays her breadth of knowledge as she harnesses evidence from biblical, classical, patristic, and contemporary secular sources to bolster her claim. Forgotten over the centuries, these writings have been gaining increasing attention from feminist historians, students of philosophy, and scholars of seventeenth-century French literature and culture. This translation, from Domna C. Stanton and Rebecca M. Wilkin, marks the first time these works will appear in English.
Reconsidering Roman Power
Author: Nathanael AndradePublisher:
ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Among the imperial states of the ancient world, the Roman empire stands out for its geographical extent, its longevity and its might. This collective volume investigates how the many peoples inhabiting Rome's vast empire perceived, experienced, and reacted to both the concrete and the ideological aspects of Roman power. More precisely, it explores how they dealt with Roman might through their religious and political rituals; what they regarded as the empire's distinctive features, as well as its particular limitations and weaknesses; what forms of criticism they developed towards the way Romans exercised power; and what kind of impact the encounter with Roman power had upon the ways they defined themselves and reflected about power in general. This volume is unusual in bringing Jewish, and especially rabbinic, sources and perspectives together with Roman, Greek or Christian ones. This is the result of its being part of the research program "Judaism and Rome" (ERC Grant Agreement no. 614 424), dedicated to the study of the impact of the Roman empire upon ancient Judaism.
Roman Imperial Statue Bases
Author: Jakob Munk HøjtePublisher: Aarhus Studies in Mediterranean Antiquity
ISBN: 9788779341463
Category : Bases (Architecture)
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The study of Roman imperial statues has made remarkable strides in the last two decades. Yet the field's understandable focus on extant portraits has made it difficult to generalize accurately. Most notably, bronze was usually the material of choice, but its high scrap value meant that such statues were inevitably melted down, so that almost all surviving statues are of stone. By examining the much larger and more representative body of statue bases, Jakob Munk Hojte is here able to situate the statues themselves in context. This volume includes a catalogue of 2300 known statue bases from more than 800 sites within and without the Roman Empire. Moreover, since it covers a period of 250 years, it allows for the first time consistent geographic, chronological and commemorative patterns to emerge. Hojte finds among other things that imperial portrait statues are connected chiefly with urban centres; that they were raised continuously during a given reign, with a higher concentration a couple years after accession; that a primary purpose was often to advertise a donor's merits; and that they increased sixfold in frequency from Augustus to Hadrian, an increase attributable to community erections. Jakob Munk Hojte is post.doc. and research assistant at the Danish National Research Foundations Centre for Black Sea Studies.

Explaining Monetary and Financial Innovation
Author: Peter BernholzPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319061097
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
This book discusses theories of monetary and financial innovation and applies them to key monetary and financial innovations in history – starting with the use of silver bars in Mesopotamia and ending with the emergence of the Eurodollar market in London. The key monetary innovations are coinage (Asia minor, China, India), the payment of interest on loans, the bill of exchange and deposit banking (Venice, Antwerp, Amsterdam, London). The main financial innovation is the emergence of bond markets (also starting in Venice). Episodes of innovation are contrasted with relatively stagnant environments (the Persian Empire, the Roman Empire, the Spanish Empire). The comparisons suggest that small, open and competing jurisdictions have been more innovative than large empires – as has been suggested by David Hume in 1742.
