Price: Political Writings

release date: Jan 31, 1992
Price: Political Writings
Richard Price (1723-1791) was an eminent Welsh philosopher and Dissenting Minister. His political pamphlets won him considerable fame in the eighteenth century as a supporter of the American rebels in their struggle for independence, and for the enthusiasm with which he greeted the opening events of the French Revolution. It was this enthusiasm that provoked Edmund Burke into writing "Reflections on the Revolution of France." Price is noteworthy as a defender of freedom of thought (especially on religious matters), as a proponent of parliamentary reform, and as an advocate of a minimalist conception of government. He espoused the doctrine of natural rights and the principle of self-government. This book is a collection of Price's most important pamphlets of the period 1759-1789, and is accompanied by a comprehensive introduction putting Price's work in context, complete bibliographical material, a chronology, and bibliographic notes on persons mentioned in the texts.

Observations on the Nature of Civil Liberty, the Principles of Government, and the Justice and Policy of the War with America. to Which Is Added, an Appendix, Containing a State of the Natinal Debt, ... by Richard Price,
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press.

Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. Delve into what it was like to live during the eighteenth century by reading the first-hand accounts of everyday people, including city dwellers and farmers, businessmen and bankers, artisans and merchants, artists and their patrons, politicians and their constituents.

Lázaro resucitado

Lázaro resucitado
Regresa Richard Price, la mente detrás de The Wire , con la historia del colapso de un barrio de Nueva York. «Price vuelve a demostrar que es el bardo de la vida callejera en Nueva York». Publishers Weekly Es 2008, y un colapso inesperado sacude las calles de Harlem: un edificio de cinco plantas se derrumba, dejando una nube blanca de escombros que lo cubre todo. Mientras los servicios de emergencia y los periodistas irrumpen en escena, el vecindario se sumerge en el caos. Aparecen seis cuerpos sin vida, y hay desaparecidos. Mary Roe, veterana agente del cuerpo de policía desgastada por su trabajo, se obsesiona por hallar a uno de ellos. Felix Pearl, joven fotógrafo recién llegado a la ciudad, capta el horror del derrumbe y la vida del barrio. Royal Davis, propietario de una funeraria al borde de la quiebra, husmea entre los restos de la tragedia en busca de «clientes» que le ayuden a sacar su negocio adelante. Y Anthony Carter, tras un par de días sepultado bajo toneladas de ladrillo, emerge milagrosamente de entre las ruinas para convertirse en un hombre nuevo con una misión y un poderoso mensaje. Tras casi una década de silencio, regresa Richard Price, autor de The Wire y Los impunes, para mostrar, con un coro de personajes inolvidables y su habitual mirada penetrante, las aristas de toda una comunidad; todo ello lo confirma como uno de los grandes maestros literarios de la vida urbana estadounidense. La crítica ha dicho: « Lázaro resucitado ofrece una coreografía vibrante en honor de Harlem, de sus gentes y su lenguaje. Todos necesitamos creer en algo, nos recuerda una y otra vez, y la gran literatura de la que forma parte es siempre una buena opción». Antonio Lozano, Cultura|s, La Vanguardia «Price rehúye la tensión y el artificio del género [policíaco]. No hay grandes giros ni escenas concebidas para dejar al lector sin aliento. El ritmo es reposado, incluso lento. Y, aun así, la lectura resulta hipnótica. Quizá porque aquí lo esencial no es la intriga, sino la construcción de los personajes [...]. En un momento en que tantas ficciones parecen repetirse hasta el agotamiento, encontrarse con personajes que respiran por sí mismos resulta casi insólito». Marta Marne, Abril, El Periódico «El más extraño de los thrillers urbanos: una historia reflexiva, incluso sosegada, sobre darse de bruces con una vida nueva». Ron Charles, The Washington Post «Sus libros, incluido su flamante Lázaro resucitado, son obras maestras de personajes, atmósfera, simbolismo y cualquier otra cosa que esos escribanos fanáticos de la literatura supuestamente más elevada puedan lanzarte a la cara [...]. Price sigue siendo uno de los escritores de ficción más gratificantes y de lectura más compulsiva». Chris Vognar, The San Francisco Chronicle «Un libro difícil de clasificar [...]. Hay páginas rebosantes de diálogos brillantes, de un ingenio cada vez más pulido». Christian Lorentzen, The New York Times Book Review «A pesar de toda la oscuridad de la novela, con sus reminiscencias al 11-S, lo que permanece es una especie de sensación de trascendencia en la experiencia compartida de la comunidad de Harlem y el espíritu de sus supervivientes. Una novela conmovedora de un urbanólogo literario en plena forma». Kirkus Reviews

Peuple Saramaka contre état du Suriname

Peuple Saramaka contre état du Suriname
Ce livre a pour sujet un peuple dont la forêt est menacée et son combat pour tenter de protéger son mode de vie en se saisissant des instruments juridiques internationaux des Droits de l'Homme. Les Marrons saramaka, descendants d'esclaves africains auto-libérés qui vivent dans la forêt tropicale de la République du Suriname, conduisent eux-mêmes, depuis des années, leur propre campagne de revendications. En 2007, la Cour Interaméricaine des Droits de l'Homme a rendu en leur faveur un jugement qui a fait jurisprudence. Deux leaders engagés dans cette lutte reçurent le Prix Goldman pour l'Environnement (souvent appelé "Prix Nobel pour l'Environnement"). Le Suriname possède la plus importante proportion de forêt tropicale, au monde, par rapport au territoire national, et la plus grande couverture forestière par personne. Ce livre raconte l'histoire de la bataille menée par les Saramaka pour garder le contrôle de cette partie de forêt qui est la leur.

The Council of Ephesus of 43

release date: Jan 01, 2020
The Council of Ephesus of 43
The First Council of Ephesus (431) was the climax of the so-called Nestorian Controversy. Convoked by the emperor Theodosius II to restore peace to the Church, it immediately divided into two rival councils, both meeting at Ephesus. Attempts by the emperor's representatives to get the bishops on both sides to meet together had no success, and after four months the council was dissolved without having ever properly met. But a number of decrees by the larger of the two rival councils, in particular the condemnation of Nestorius of Constantinople, were subsequently accepted as the valid decrees of the 'ecumenical council of Ephesus'. The documentation, consisting of conciliar proceedings, letters and other documents, provides information not only about events in Ephesus itself, but also about lobbying and public demonstrations in Constantinople. There is no episode in late Roman history where we are so well informed about how politics were conducted in the imperial capital. This makes

The Whites
Milieu des années 1990. Le jeune Billy Graves est flic au sein d'une brigade anticriminalité de l'un des pires districts du Bronx. Il fait partie d'un groupe de policiers prometteurs, les "Wild Geese", et une carrière brillante lui semble assurée. Jusqu'au jour où il tire accidentellement sur un gamin. L'affaire, fortement médiatisée, lui vaut d'être mis au placard quelque temps. Aujourd'hui, Billy est devenu chef d'une équipe de nuit du NYPD. Son quotidien : sillonner les rues de New York, de Wall Street à Harlem, pour en assurer la sécurité, même s'il sait que certains criminels passeront toujours au travers des mailles du filet. Ces derniers, il les surnomme les "whites", ceux qui s'en sortent blancs comme neige. Chaque policier en a un qui l'obsède. Puis vient un appel qui change tout : un meurtre a eu lieu à Penn Station. Et la victime n'est autre que le white d'un de ses anciens coéquipiers. Lorsqu'un autre white est assassiné, Billy commence à s'interroger : quelqu'un serait-il en train de régler ses comptes ? Et qui est cet homme qui, soudainement, paraît s'intéresser à sa femme et à ses enfants, au point de les suivre en filature ?
