Impunity, Human Rights, and Democracy: Chile and Argentina, 1990-2005
ISBN: 9781477309827 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Universal human rights standards were adopted in 1948, but in the 1970s and 1980s, violent dictatorships in Argentina and Chile flagrantly defied the new protocols. Chilean general Augusto Pinochet and the Argentine military employed state terrorism in their quest to eradicate Marxism and other forms of "subversion." Pinochet constructed an iron shield of impunity for himself and the military in Chile, while in Argentina, military pressure resulted in laws preventing prosecution for past human rights violations. When democracy was reestablished in both countries by 1990, justice for crimes...

Nightmare Abbey/Crotchet Castle
ISBN: 9780140430455 / Angielski / Miękka / 1982 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Thomas Love Peacock is literature s perfect individualist.
He has points in common with Aristophanes, Plato, Rabelais, Voltaire, and even Aldous Huxley, but resembles none of them; we can talk of the satirical novel of ideas, but his satire is too cheery and good-natured, his novel too rambling, and his ideas too jovially destructive for the label to stick. A romantic in his youth and a friend of Shelley, he happily made hay of the romantic movement in Nightmare Abbey, clamping Coleridge, Byron, and Shelley himself in a kind of painless pillory. And in Crotchet Castle... Thomas Love Peacock is literature s perfect individualist.

Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon
ISBN: 9780830843442 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Among the Wisdom literature of the Old Testament, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon were all thought by the early church fathers to have derived from the hand of Solomon. To their minds the finest wisdom about the deeper issues of life prior to the time of God's taking human form in Jesus Christ was to be found in these books. As in all the Old Testament, they were quick to find types and intimations of Christ and his church that would make the ancient Word relevant to the Christians of their day. Of extant commentaries on Ecclesiastes none are so profound as the eight homilies...
