Als junge Frau gehörte Luz Arce zur paramilitärischen Leibwache Allendes. Nach dem Putsch am 11. September 1973 ging sie in den Untergrund. Einige Monate später wurde sie von der Geheimpolizei DINA verhaftet. Durch die Hölle der Folter gebrochen und um das Leben ihres ebenfalls gefangenen Bruders zu retten, erklärte sie sich bereit, Freunde zu verraten und ihren Folterern neue Opfer auszuliefern. Fünf Jahre lang arbeitete sie als Beamtin für die Geheimdienste DINA und CNI. 1980 konnte sie ihre Entlassung erreichen, und es begann eine zweite Hölle: Sie fand nicht ins normale Leben zurück, zerbrach beinahe an den seelischen und körperlichen Folgen der Haft. Am Ende beschloss sie, mit ihrem Wissen an die Öffentlichkeit zu treten und um der Wahrheit willen alle Anfeindungen zu ertragen. Luz Arce sagte als Zeugin vor der Regierungskommission "Verdad y Reconciliacion" ("Wahrheit und Versöhnung") gegen Geheimdienstler aus, die der Folter, des Mordes und des Verschwindenl...

Spanning the fifth to sixteenth centuries and societies that range from Afghanistan to Spain, this anthology is a testament to the astonishing grandeur and variety of classical Arabic literature. Here are excerpts from dozens of works-both renowned (The Qur'an, The Thousand and One Nights) and esoteric (Ibn Washshiyya's -Book of Poisons-; a 10th-century poem in praise of asparagus)-all accompanied by Robert Irwin's erudite commentaries that illuminate readers on the vanished world in which they were written. In Night & Horses & the Desert we encounter the dashing Byronic poetry of Imru' al-Qays and a treatise on bibliomania by Al-Jahiz, possibly the only writer to have been killed by books. There's a sorcerer's manual from 11th century Spain and an allegory by the mysterious -Brethren of Purity, - in which animals argue their case against humanity. Encompassing piety and profanity, fables and philosophy, this volume is a thrilling and invaluabe int...

The last decade of Cannie's life has brought some surprises. Her life story, in fictional form, became an unexpected bestseller, and Cannie has since retreated from fame's fallout, writing science-fiction under a pen name and praying that all her daughter inherited from her father, Cannie's ex-boyfriend Bruce Guberman, are her curls and her eye-colour, and not his predilection for smoking pot. Meanwhile Cannie's best friend, Samantha, is looking for love in all the wrong places, and Cannie's husband, Peter, has decided that he'd like to have a baby, and the family's first choice for a surrogate is none other than Cannie's flamboyant kid sister ...

Ancient Rome is the only society in the history of the western world whose legal profession evolved autonomously, distinct and separate from institutions of political and religious power. Roman legal thought has left behind an enduring legacy and exerted enormous influence on the shaping of modern legal frameworks and systems, but its own genesis and context pose their own explanatory problems. The economic analysis of Roman law has enormous untapped potential in this regard: by exploring the intersecting perspectives of legal history, economic history, and the economic analysis of law, the two volumes of Roman Law and Economics are able to offer a uniquely interdisciplinary examination of the origins of Roman legal institutions, their functions, and their evolution over a period of more than 1000 years, in response to changes in the underlying economic activities that those institutions regulated. Volume I explores these legal institutions and organizations in detail, from the const...
