«Лагерю пришел конец, но нет конца их мукам, и смерти тоже нет конца. Глядя на исхудалые тела мертвецов с торчащими ребрами и впалой грудью, на груду трупов во дворе крематория высотой в добрых четыре метра, я думал: вот они, мои братья. И еще я думал: надо было узнать их муки, как узнали их мы, оставшиеся в живых, чтобы теперь по-братски поклониться им…»

Название: Law and Language in the Middle Ages Автор: Editors: Matthew W. McHaffie, Jenny Benham, and Helle Vogt Издательство: Brill Год: 2018 Формат: pdf Страниц: 319 Размер: 14.0 Мб Язык: английский
Law and Language in the Middle Ages investigates the encounter between law and legal practice from the linguistic perspective. The essays explore how legal language expresses and advances power relations, along with the ways in which the language of law legitimates power. The wide geographical and chronological scope showcases how power, legitimacy and language interact, moving the discussion beyond traditional issues of identity or the formation of nation-states and their institutions. What emerges are different strategies reflective of the diverse and pluralistic political, legal, and cultural worlds of the Middle Ages.
Название: Amalasuintha: The Transformation of Queenship in the Post-Roman World Автор: Massimiliano Vitiello Издательство: University of Pennsylvania Press Год: 2017 Формат: pdf Страниц: 312 Размер: 15.0 Мб Язык: English
In this book, Massimiliano Vitiello situates the life and career of the Ostrogothic queen Amalasuintha (c. 494/5-535), daughter of Theoderic the Great, in the context of the transitional time, after the fall of Rome, during which new dynastic regimes were experimenting with various forms of political legitimation. A member of the Gothic elite raised in the Romanized palace of Ravenna, Amalasuintha married her father's chosen successor and was set to become a traditional Gothic queen — a helpmate and advisor to her husband, the Visigothic prince Eutharic — with no formal political role of her own. But her early widowhood and the subsequent death of her father threw her into a position unprecedented in the Gothic world: a regent mother who assumed control of the government.

Эпоха правления Николая I (1825-1855) совпала с периодом гегемонии самой мощной колониальной державы - Британии. Многие историки, игнорируя природно-климатические факторы, описывают Россию этого времени как страну, погрязшую в невежестве и дикости. Между тем Российской империи удалось не только остаться единственным государством, сохранившим самостоятельность, но и развить мощную экономику.
