La abolición del tormento

Sinopsis del Libro

Libro La abolición del tormento

The abolition of judicial torture—alongside the eradication of both slavery and capital punishment—was one of the most consequential issues debated in eighteenth-century continental Europe. A revealing component of this controversial debate was presented in the unpublished "Discurso sobre la injusticia del apremio judicial," written by the attorney Pedro Garcia del Canuelo. Seeking support for its publication, he forwarded the manuscript to Prime Minister Manuel Godoy in 1795. The savvy Spanish politician, however, not only rejected the text but also warned its author against further discussing the issues raised in his treatise. As a result, although its title was known, the essay was lost to history. The current volume, La abolicion del tormento, analyzes, transcribes, and reproduces the complete "Discurso" while framing its proposals within the European debate regarding the abolition of torture and the prohibition of other methods of mental and physical coercion allowed by diverse tribunals. The monograph additionally considers the extent of the controversy associated with torture in Spain as it provides biographical information on Garcia del Canuelo and examines the philosophical and juridical foundations related to this atrocious practice, one which produced one of the fiercest exchanges of the Enlightenment. The aforementioned dispute reflects the political tensions of an era because a discussion on the legality of torture involves a consideration of what constitutes a human being, what is the relationship between legality and justice, and what are the limits of lawful power in relation to the natural rights and the intrinsic value of the individual. Thoroughly documented, this study should be of particular interest to those concerned with intellectual processes and practices during the modern era, not only in Spain, but throughout the Western world as a whole.

La casa de Borbón

Libro La casa de Borbón

Las llamadas Casas Reales son hermosas y rutilantes ollas de grillos, que mandan o reinan todavía en muchos paises europeos, donde predomina casi exclusivamente la Casa de Borbón. Los Borbones están emparentados entre sí, de un modo u otro, cercano o lejanamente, con todos los tronos o monarquías existentes. Se entienden a través de un idioma común: el francés, proveniente de los originarios Capetos galos, una auténtica multinacional de la realeza. En este texto se ha desarrollado una historia de la Casa de Borbón, circunscrita al caso español y sus ramas circundantes.

VILLANOS, MARXISTAS Y MARULLEROS

Libro VILLANOS, MARXISTAS Y MARULLEROS

For more than half a century, Cuba has suffered one of the longest-running dictatorships in history, where dozens of political prisoners are held in prison, and the entire population is locked up in a large penitentiary where neither dissent nor disagreement is forgiven, and the dissidents are punished with years in prison or death. It is a new oligarchic class, with a single political party, without elections, with an absolute disregard for Human Rights, without public and civil liberties, making it illegal to be part of the political opposition, with public education in the exclusive hands...

Coyunturas opuestas

Libro Coyunturas opuestas

A la luz de investigaciones llevadas a cabo durante los dos ultimos decenios, Romano ha extendido el ambito de la discusion para incluir el espacio hispanoamericano. Ha podido verse que la America colonial aprovecho las dificultades de sus metropolis para ofrecer una coyuntura opuesta: si Europa en su conjunto -con las notables excepciones de Inglaterra y los Paises Bajos- pasa por una crisis secular, el continente americano proporciona ciertas senales de liberacion y de desarrollo economico.

Libro La revolución democrática (1868-1874)

"Although exhaustively researched, book is too detailed and not well written. Work does not focus on Cuba directly; rather, it studies the powerful influence of Cuban proslavery interests in the fight against reforms and abolition carried on by Valencia's urban patriarchs"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
