Sognepræsten Don Leonardo Abba er blevet fundet dræbt i tårnet på et gammelt kloster. Et oktagram – en ottetakket stjerne – var ridset ind i ligets bryst, og der var malet sataniske symboler på væggen med hans blod. Der er kun ét vidne: klosterets rengøringsdame, der på mirakuløs vis er i live, men hvis erindringer om begivenheden er sparsomme og fulde af huller. Politiets hold fra Afdelingen for voldsforbrydelser under kommando af kaptajn Luca Sinatti i samarbejde med løjtnant Raul Ferrini samarbejder med anklagemyndigheden om opklaring af mordet. Hvem kan stå bag noget så brutalt? Det er en, der vil kunne dræbe igen, og en, der vil være svær at finde. Og måske også svær at stoppe. Uddrag af bogen Retsmedicineren rømmede sig. ”Indlysende nok forbeholder jeg mig retten til at sige noget mere præcist til efter obduktionen. Jeg kan indtil videre sige, at Abba ser ud til at være blevet dræbt med et meget voldsomt slag i hovedet. Hænder og arme er uskadte, ingen defensive sår, så jeg antager, at slaget er tilført præsten bagfra. Det har overrasket ham og fået ham til at falde sammen på jorden, uden at han har været i stand til at reagere.” Capasso bøjede sig ned over liget, og de andre nærmede sig. ”De sår, I ser på brystet, er blevet tilføjet med en skarp genstand efter dødens indtræden. Snittene er meget dybe.” ”Det er et oktagram, den ottetakkede stjerne,” sagde Sinatti. ”Og mordvåbnet?” Capasso rystede på hovedet. ”Jeg kan ikke sige det endnu.” Om forfatteren Valentina Di Rienzo er født i Milano i 1984, hvor hun arbejder som grafiker i reklamebranchen.

In her international bestseller SPQR, Mary Beard told the thousand-year story of ancient Rome, from its slightly shabby Iron Age origins to its reign as the undisputed hegemon of the Mediterranean. Now, drawing on more than thirty years of teaching and writing about Roman history, Beard turns to the emperors who ruled the Roman Empire, beginning with Julius Caesar (assassinated 44 BCE) and taking us through the nearly three centuries-and some thirty emperors-that separate him from the boy-king Alexander Severus (assassinated 235 CE).Yet Emperor of Rome is not your typical chronological account of Roman rulers, one emperor after another: the mad Caligula, the monster Nero, the philosopher Marcus Aurelius. Instead, Beard asks different, often larger and more probing questions: What power did emperors actually have? Was the Roman palace really so bloodstained? What kind of jokes did Augustus tell? And for that matter, what really happened, for example, between the emperor Hadrian and his beloved Antinous? Effortlessly combining the epic with the quotidian, Beard tracks the emperor down at home, at the races, on his travels, even on his way to heaven.Along the way, Beard explores Roman fictions of imperial power, overturning many of the assumptions that we hold as gospel, not the least of them the perception that emperors one and all were orchestrators of extreme brutality and cruelty. Here Beard introduces us to the emperor's wives and lovers, rivals and slaves, court jesters and soldiers, and the ordinary people who pressed begging letters into his hand-whose chamber pot disputes were adjudicated by Augustus, and whose budgets were approved by Vespasian, himself the son of a tax collector.With its finely nuanced portrayal of sex, class, and politics, Emperor of Rome goes directly to the heart of Roman fantasies (and our own) about what it was to be Roman at its richest, most luxurious, most extreme, most powerful, and most deadly, offering an account of Roman history as it has never been presented before.

The Jewish community in Spain was the largest and most important in the West for almost a thousand years, participating fully in cultural and political affairs with Christian and Muslim neighbors. Norman Roth traces the chain of events that led to mass conversions of Spanish Jews to Christianity in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the rise of animosity against them, the establishment of the Inquisition, and finally, the 1492 Expulsion of the Jews from Spain. Citing evidence from his extensive research of medieval documents, he firmly refutes the traditionally accepted story of "crypto-Judaism", which contends that the conversos were forced publicly to abandon their faith, while continuing secretly to maintain their Jewish traditions. Roth argues persuasively that the conversos were, in fact, sincere Christians.

La obra nace en el marco del proyecto Discurso institucional e imagen de la mujer: impacto comunicativo y social en Andalucía (US-1381061) y aborda la representación que se hace de la mujer en el discurso de las instituciones en el ámbito hispánico y sus implicaciones sociales. Los trabajos que la conforman abordan los niveles implicados en la producción discursiva: lingüístico, psicosocial, comunicativo y sociocultural, partiendo de la idea de que el imaginario social se crea y fija a través del discurso. Se denuncian los sesgos discriminatorios que se mantienen, dificultando el camino hacia la igualdad real y efectiva entre hombres y mujeres. Esta obra contribuye a evidenciar la necesidad de seguir investigando en las estrategias comunicativas como instrumento de cambio social.

"Suivant l¿ordre éternel établi dans la nature, celle-ci ne vieillit jamais ;on peut même dire qüelle se rajeunit sans cesse unique dans les règne animal comme dans le règne végétal, des générations nouvelles succèdent sans ruption aux générations qui disparaissent. L¿homme cependant entrave souvent le libre développement des forces naturelles et par suite porte atteinte, dans la même mesure, à la loiprovidentielle dont nous parlons. "

"En présentant au public ce modeste traité sur les arbres fruitiers, notre but est de tenter la vulgarisation de la culture de ces arbres, culture qui bien comprise, ne peut que rapporter de bons revenus à ¿ ceux qui s¿y adonnent. Pendant trop longtemps, dans la Province de Québec , le cultivateur s¿ est désintéressé de cette question, et de nos jours encore la culture des arbres fruitiers ne se fait que par le petit nombre, notamment aux alentours des grands centres. Cependant grâce à la facilite des communications, la valeur des fruits a considérablement augmenté et il se trouve que les recettes faites sur une propriété bien plantée, entrent pour une part importante dans le revenu du cultivateur, car tout le monde aime manger des fruits, dès que les prix sont raisonnables.La culture des arbres fruitiers bien comprise peut être une des branches les plus lucratives de l¿agriculture même dit que le signe le plus frappant du degré d¿aisance et de moralité de la population d'un village, c¿est de le voir entouré de jardins et de vergers bien soignés.

This book is the first nearly complete (poetry and verse omitted) translation of the only known personal manuscript notes of a Sixteenth Century Commedia dell'Arte performer. This is a very important work for anyone interested in what such actors said and did in their improvised performances. Included with the literal translation are the detailed play outlines from the twenty plays in these manuscripts. In the original the outlines are terse and ambiguous, making them difficult to perform, but this book provides versions of each of them that have been resolved into clear entrances, exits, motivations and actions for every scene. Scholars get their literal translations. Performers get playable plays, as well as examples of prologues, monologues and one-liners that this Sixteenth Century actor thought were worthy to write down.

More than just a travel guide, author Lucy Notestein discusses each region's art, architecture, history, culture, cuisine, and more. Indexed, and illustrated throughout by pen-and-ink sketches. From the Preface: "The essence of travel is discovery. It is a personal adventure in curiosity. This book is but an introduction to Italian hill towns. There are hundreds of other hill towns worth exploring, and it is my hope that the reader of this book will be inspired to set out for himself to see what is on many a hilltop and on the other side, in the Pistoian Alps, for instance, or to the east of Florence by Poppi, in much of the Marches, in the Abruzzi, in Latium, in Calabria, Apulia, and Sicily. Italy is inexhaustible. There are ancient peoples with whom to get acquainted, personages of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, painting, sculpture, architecture, regional customs, and always views."
