Book A Journey to the End of the Millennium

Download or read book A Journey to the End of the Millennium written by A.B. Yehoshua and published by Halban Publishers. This book was released on 2012-07-05 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year is 999 A.D. Christians in Europe are preparing themselves for the arrival of the Messiah at the millennium and religious fervour is in the air. Sailing from the North African port of Tangier to a small, distant town called Paris are a Jewish merchant, Ben Attar, his two beloved wives and his Arab partner, Abu Lutfi. They have come for a meeting with their third partner the widower, Raphael Abulafia who has been forced to turn his back on their previous trading partnership because of his new wife's distrust of the dual marriage of Ben Attar. The latter turns this annual trading voyage into a personal quest to legitimise his second wife, restore his honour and, equally important, to show others the richness and humanity in his way of life. A confrontation ensues between people of different cultures whose ways of living and loving are so different, and yet who are of the same religion, believe in the same God and in the same morality. Thus we enter a profound human drama whose moral conflicts of fidelity and desire resonate deeply with our times. A. B. Yehoshua has imaginatively recreated a medieval world with its merchant trade in great depth and sensuous detail. His evocation of one man's love is lyrical, erotic even, and A Journey to the End of the Millennium will rank with the best of Yehoshua's work.

Book The Aesthetics of Murder

Download or read book The Aesthetics of Murder written by Joel Black and published by . This book was released on 1991-09 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What connects the Romantic essays of Thomas De Quincey and the violent cinema of Brian De Palma? Or the "beautiful" suicides of Hedda Gabler and Yukio Mishima? Or the shootings of John Lennon and Ronald Reagan? In The Aesthetics of Murder, Joel Black explores the sometimes gruesome interplay between life and art, between actual violence and images of violence in a variety of literary texts, paintings, and films. Rather than exclude murder from critical consideration by dismissing it as a crime, Black urges us to ponder the killer's artistic role -- and our own experience as audience, witness, or voyeur. Black examines murder as a recurring, obsessive theme in the Romantic tradition, approaching the subject from an aesthetic rather than a moral, psychological, or philosophical perspective. And he brings into his discussion contemporary instances of sensational murders and assassinations, treating these as mimetic or cathartic activities in their own right. Combining historical documentation with theoretical insights, Black shows that the possibilities of representing violence -- and of experiencing it -- as art were recognized early in the nineteenth century as logical extensions of Romantic theories of the sublime. Since then, both traditional art forms and the modern mass media have contributed to the growing aestheticization of daily experience -- including murder, suicide, and terrorism." -- Book cover.

Book Epistemology and Methodology of Comparative Law

Download or read book Epistemology and Methodology of Comparative Law written by Mark Van Hoecke and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2004-06-01 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whereas many modern works on comparative law focus on various aspects of legal doctrine the aim of this book is of a more theoretical kind - to reflect on comparative law as a scholarly discipline, in particular at its epistemology and methodology. Thus, among its contents the reader will find: a lively discussion of the kind of 'knowledge' that is, or could be, derived from comparative law; an analysis of 'legal families' which asks whether we need to distinguish different 'legal families' according to areas of law; essays which ask what is the appropriate level for research to be conducted - the technical 'surface level', a 'deep level' of ideology and legal practice, or an 'intermediate level' of other elements of legal culture, such as the socio-economic and historical background of law. One part of the book is devoted to questioning the identification and demarcation of a 'legal system' (and the clash between 'legal monism' and 'legal pluralism') and the definition of the European legal orders, sub-State legal orders, and what is left of traditional sovereign State legal systems; while a final part explores the desirability and possibility of developing a basic common legal language, with common legal principles and legal concepts and/or a legal meta-language, which would be developed and used within emerging European legal doctrine. All the papers in this collection share the common goal of seeking answers to fundamental, scientific problems of comparative research that are too often neglected in comparative scholarship.

Book Studies in Legal Systems Mixed and Mixing

Download or read book Studies in Legal Systems Mixed and Mixing written by Esin Orucu and published by Springer. This book was released on 1996-02-13 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All legal systems are mixed: some more than others. There are covert mixtures and overt mixtures; stable mixtures and mixtures in transition. This book brings together a wide range of legal orders, some well known, some not so often studied. The analysis offered is far beyond a descriptive one, the general aim being to provide a basis for discussion by covering paths, methods and specific techniques, consequences and implications of legal migration. The newly emerging democracies of Eastern Europe, for example, are looking at the pool of models when re-designing their systems. Such systems in transition open up a whole new world of possibilities for research. The two final chapters on spectral jurisprudence and the conceptual search bring into focus and widen the analysis further.

Con questi tre testi avrai tutto ciò di cui hai bisogno per iniziare a fare trading con profitto. 1. TRADING SYSTEMTrading System è la soluzione al più grosso problema dei trader: le emozioni. Il trading è scienza e matematica, ma come esseri umani, siamo facilmente influenzabili e rischiamo di prendere scelte errate, che ci portano a perdere sul breve e lungo termine. Un trading system è un sistema automatico che esegue le operazioni di acquisto e vendita in modo autonomo. Un trading system ti permette di decidere a mente fredda quali sono punti di ingresso e di uscita profittevoli, quali segnali vanno interpretati e come. Di fatto, con un trading system, sarai in grado di rimuovere la componente umana da un gioco che è puramente matematico. 2. ANALISI TECNICAImmagina di poter prevedere il mercato.L'analisi tecnica è la scienza che studia la risposta meccanica a ciò che succede nel mercato. Con l'ausilio di leggi matematiche e previsioni statistiche, infatti, l'analisi tecnica è in grado di prevedere con estrema affidabilità ciò che succederà in un qualsiasi mercato di azioni di borsa, opzioni, valute e tanto altro. Scopri i segreti che permettono ai trader professionisti di identificare uno specifico modello di comportamento del mercato e come questo può essere utilizzato per aprire una posizione da chiudere con profitto nel breve o medio termine. Scegliendo questo libro imparerai: ▸ I presupposti dell'Analisi Tecnica ▸ Come identificare e sfruttare i trend a lungo e breve termine ▸ Il ciclo del mercato ▸ Le diverse teorie dietro l'Analisi Tecnica ▸ I tre tipi di trend del mercato e le fasi di ogni trend ▸ Usare il volume d'affari per avere conferme delle tue previsioni ▸ I grafici a supporto nell'Analisi ▸ Le medie mobili e le bande di Bollinger ▸ L'indice RSI e la MACD - e come possono aiutarti ▸ Gli indicatori del mercato 3. TRADING ONLINEInternet ha rivoluzionato il mondo del trading.Fino a pochi anni fa, investire in borsa significava recarsi di persona presso un broker e ricevere aggiornamenti su base mensile.Soltanto le più grosse banche avevano la possibilità di comprare e vendere azioni, opzioni, valute e commodities in tempo reale e portare a casa, giorno dopo giorno, grossi profitti. Con Internet, tutto questo è cambiato: chiunque, in qualsiasi punto del mondo, può prendere parte a queste compravendite in tempo reale, che permettono di trarre un rapido profitto - se sai come fare. Le regole sono diverse, e non è più sufficiente comprare un prodotto e aspettare che si alzi. La buona notizia è che ci sono anche nuove tecniche per guadagnare, se sai come sfruttarle. In questo libro scoprirai... ▸ Le origini del trading su Internet ▸ I requisiti per iniziare ▸ Le basi sulla gestione dei soldi e del rischio ▸ I fondamenti psicologici per pensare come un trader professionista ▸ Tutti gli strumenti a disposizione del trader ▸ Le informazioni tecniche su azioni, obbligazioni, derivati e CFD ▸ Cosa sono le opzioni e quali opzioni dovresti evitare - sempre ▸ Cosa sono i futures e i rispettivi CFD ▸ Perchè è importante scegliere il giusto broker online ▸ C
