Desperate Housewives, Neuroses and the Domestic Environment, 1945-1970
ISBN: 9781848933101 / Angielski / Twarda / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The historical association between femininity and neurosis is well documented. Many recent studies have seen women's mental health issues in the aftermath of the Second World War as being a direct consequence of a lack of opportunity and the banality of a domestic lifestyle. Although the figure of the 'desperate housewife' is familiar to us, Haggett suggests that many women in the 1950s and 1960s led satisfying lives and that gender roles, while very different, were often seen as equal.

TEARS OF BLOOD When the author first heard of this true story he cried and when he wrote it, he was overwhelmed with an immense sadness. No one can imagine how a man could inflict such abject misery and pain on a poor innocent woman and their six legitimate children. How can men impose such suffering on other human beings when society prohibits doing so to animals? But then again, could the men referred to in this story have possibly been human or were they none other than evil incarnations of the Devil himself?...

Before Forgiveness: The Origins of a Moral Idea
ISBN: 9781107680203 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this book, David Konstan argues that the modern concept of interpersonal forgiveness, in the full sense of the term, did not exist in ancient Greece and Rome. Even more startlingly, it is not fully present in the Hebrew Bible, nor again in the New Testament, or in the early Jewish and Christian commentaries on the Holy Scriptures. It would still be centuries-- many centuries-- before the idea of interpersonal forgiveness, with its accompanying ideas of apology, remorse, and a change of heart on the part of the wrongdoer, would emerge. For all its vast importance today in religion, law,...
