Los libertos de la Hispania romana se enmarcan dentro de un estudio articulado para su contribución a la sociedad hispanorromana. Para su análisis, se han utilizado las fuentes literarias y epigráficas que, a lo largo de un proceso cronologico amplio (desde finales de la Republica hasta finales del siglo III d. C.), contribuyeron a esclarecer el papel que tuvieron, a veces, dentro del ambito romano. Nuestro interes y objetivo es analizar todos aquellos aspectos que las fuentes antiguas escritas han proporcionado. La monografia se divide en cuatro partes: la primera, la situacion juridica y el estado personal de los libertos hispanos hasta el momento en que el emperador Caracalla concede la ciudadania romana a todos los habitantes del Imperio. Hay indicadores para detectar a los libertos en la documentacion escrita, de ahi que llevemos a cabo una seleccion epigrafica. Ademas, la procedencia de los libertos y su situacion juridica son aspectos que conforman el marco ideal de este grupo social y, por tanto, la sociedad hispana se organizo en funcion de la categoria juridica de las personas, que tras ser liberadas, pasaban a libres, pero sometidas a algunas restricciones juridicas. Por tanto, el estado personal y las relaciones familiares indican que tuvieron enormes dificultades para integrarse en los grupos sociales de las sociedades hispanas, aunque algunos muy pocos llegaron a conseguir a traves del matrimonio una mejor posicion social. La segunda parte corresponde a la situacion social y economica de los libertos hispanos. El esclavo manumitido presenta cierta igualdad con el ingenuus, sui iuris, que se manifiesta mejor en los libertos imperiales al disponer de unos privilegios por formar parte de la domus imperial. Se tiene constancia de ejemplos de libertos que llegaron a alcanzar un estadio que les permitio escapar del silencio, al que les llevaba su propia condicion. La situacion socio-economica, las relaciones con sus antiguos propietarios, la duracion de su matrimonio, los hijos ilegitimos, la adopcion legal y los tipos de relaciones laborales son aspectos que acreditan, en alguna medida, el modo de vida y la ubicacion social de los libertos hispanos. La tercera parte, la promocion social y politica de los imperiales, publicos y augustales llegaron a formar un sector especifico. La heterogeneidad y complejidad es producto de su vinculacion con la familia Caesaris. Los libertos imperiales conforman la elite de este colectivo al estar encargados de controlar todas las actividades de la casa imperial. La vida social y publica de los libertos imperiales, de los publicos y los privados les permitio acceder a puestos que, en principio, les estaban vedados. La cuarta parte, el mundo religioso de los libertos que, como es habitual y de forma individual, son los encargados de elegir el monumento votivo para dedicarselo a la divinidad. Uno de los ambitos en los que los libertos pudieron gozar de un importante protagonismo, fue sin duda en el marco de la religion romana, debido a su determinante caracter politico-social y cuyo principal contenido se reflejaba en el espacio publico a traves de la materializacion de actos cultuales. Los cultos tradicionales, las divinidades augustas, las divinidades orientales, las divinidades prerromanas y el evergetismo religioso y civil de los libertos son manifestaciones de su integracion de la vida religiosa en las ciudades hispanas.

Through most of eight hundred years, Somerled of Argyll has been variously denounced as an intractable rebel against his rightful king and esteemed as the honoured ancestor of the later medieval Lord of the Isles, but he can be recognised now as a much more complex figure of major prominence in twelfth-century Scotland and of truly landmark significance in the long history of the Gael. In this book individual chapters investigate his emergence in the forefront of the Gaelic-Norse aristocracy of the western seaboard, his part in Gaeldoms challenge to the Canmore kings of Scots, his war on the Manx king of the Isles, his importance for the church on Iona, and his extraordinary invasion of the Clyde which was cut short by his violent death at Renfrew in 1164. Perhaps most impressive is the books demonstration of how almost everything that is known of or has been claimed for Somerled reflects the same characteristic fusion of Norse and Celt which binds the cultural roots of Gaeldom. It is this recognition which has led its author to his proposal of Somerleds wider historical importance as the personality who most represents the first fully-fledged emergence of the medieval Celtic-Scandinavian cultural province from which is directly descended the Gaelic Scotland of today.

The Risorgimento, the period of nation-state formation, has always had particular significance not only in the historiography of Italy but also for the transnational and comparative history of the founding of nation-states. Gabriele Clemens presents a new, up-to-date and well-founded overview of the history of the Risorgimento. Her account covers an entire century of Italian history, beginning around 1770, before the French Revolution, and ending in 1870 with the conquest of Rome by the troops of the burgeoning nation state. This balanced and highly readable account combines the perspective of political cultural history with an economic and social historical approach. At the same time, it offers new interpretations, for example on the roles played by the nobility and the bourgeoisie. It questions the established claim that the masses were mobilized by means of art, music and literature and critically analyses the significance of Garibaldi, the man and the myth. The path to the nation state is described as the work of a state-supporting elite that acts consistently in transnational networks.

George Downing came of age as a Puritan pioneer in colonial Massachusetts, before crossing the Atlantic to sign up for the English Civil War. He fast became Oliver Cromwells chief of military intelligence and was later a diplomat and an MP. However, Downing spectacularly switched sides, shamelessly betraying his friends. He prospered under Charles II, yet he remains one of the most elusive figures of his age. In Turncoat he emerges as the extraordinary - if troubling - anti-hero of his own life story.Judged by contemporaries to be a fearful gentleman and a perfidious rogue, Downing was a double-dealer who bribed and blackmailed his way to diplomatic success across Europe; and, when it was expedient, betrayed friends to horrifically violent deaths. He pioneered the practice of judicial kidnapping known today as extraordinary rendition, was a booster of the Atlantic slave trade and had a hand in starting two major wars. Always at the centre of events, Downing engaged with the most illustrious men and women of his times. His patrons were Oliver Cromwell and King Charles II. Samuel Pepys was his clerk; John Milton prepared his letters and dispatches. William of Orange was godfather to his son; his next-door neighbour was Queen Elizabeth of Bohemia; and when Downing finally built his street, his surveyor was Sir Christopher Wren. Turncoat follows George Downing from the asceticism of Puritan New England, across English battlefields, through courts, chancelleries and parliaments, to the fleshpots of Restoration London, where he would spend his final years in unrestrained indulgence as one of the richest men in the kingdom.

In The Hungarian Gentleman Farmer, Baroness Orczy turns her eye once more to the countryside of her beloved homeland, this time exploring the life and traditions of the landed gentry. Through vivid description and personal insight, she captures the rhythms of rural estates, the responsibilities of noble landowners, and the delicate balance between privilege and duty in Hungarian society. Rich with cultural detail, the book highlights the elegance and struggles of a class that stood between aristocracy and peasantry, preserving tradition while facing the pressures of modernity. Part memoir, part social study, it is both an affectionate portrait and a valuable historical record of Hungary at the dawn of the 20th century.

A vital history from the award-winning Financial Times journalist Philip Stephens on the dramatic century since the Anglo-Irish Treaty and partition.These Divided Isles tells the story from both sides of the Irish Sea. Cutting through the layers of grievance and prejudice it explores the emotional intimacy and enmity of a relationship shaped by close familial ties and clashing national identities. Its a story written by big political leaders - David Lloyd George, Michael Collins, Winston Churchill and Eamon de Valera - and the millions of Irish emigrants who crossed from Ireland to Britain to begin new lives.Today demography, Brexit and political logic have brought the possibility of Irish unity into view. Grounded in decades of personal contact and interviews with key policymakers across Britain and Europe, Stephens maps this complex relationship and asks how Ireland might deploy its history to inform its future rather than hold it in place.

Che attraversa confini fisici ed emotivi. Che sceglie di restare anche quando tutto sembra volerlo impedire. Perfetto per chi crede nelle connessioni autentiche, nei nuovi inizi maturi e negli amori che sfidano la logica, questo libro e una lettera aperta ai cuori che ancora sognano. Se hai mai sentito che una storia e stata scritta per te forse e proprio questa.
