A new 2023 translation into American English from the original French manuscripts of Victor Hugo's classic 1829 The Last Day of a Condemned Man. Hugo's classic early novel is a powerful indictment of the death penalty and a plea to end capital punishment completely. This edition contains an afterword by the translator, a timeline of Hugo's life and a summary of each of Hugo's major works chronologically. This novel follows the thoughts and emotions of a man who is sentenced to death, leading up to his execution. It influenced many novels after it, including Dostoevsky's Notes from a Dead House, Leo Tolstoy's "The Death of Ivan Ilyich" and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's "One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich". The work is considered a classic of French literature and played a significant role in the abolition of the death penalty in France in the 20th century.

Plus de vingt ans après son abolition en France, les questions posées par l'application de la peine de mort sont réexaminées ici à travers quinze études historiques. Violence légale, l'exécution est par essence paradoxale. Une première série de décalages surgit dans sa mise en oeuvre concrète et ses suites, concernant le statut et le traitement particuliers du condamné. Mais dans sa perception et sa mise en scène, l'exécution publique hésite aussi entre la fête macabre et la leçon salutaire, le spectacle et l'édification. Son symbolisme sacrificiel, profane ou religieux, en fait ainsi un objet de narration artistique.

José-Fernando Esteban, aficionado madrilène, décide d'aller passer quelques mois en Andalousie, sur les terres du comte Alonso de Villanueva, qui élève des taureaux de combat de race très ancienne et très célèbre. Sous l'apparence unie du quotidien, Esteban découvre les indices - d'abord étranges, puis sinistres - d'une tragédie commencée plusieurs décennies auparavant. Des paroles lâchées, comme au hasard, par l'épouse du comte, le délire superstitieux d'un vieux Gitan, la légende meurtrière de l'élevage, la révélation progressive - par don Alonso lui-même - de secrets trop lourds à porter, conduisent vers le terrible dénouement du drame. La vie rurale et les paysages d'Andalousie, les corridas, la fête de Pâques à Séville, forment la toile de fond de ce roman, qui explore les arcanes du monde complexe de la Fiesta Brava, et les relations fascinantes de l'homme et du taureau.

Le nœud théorique de cette étude réside dans la problématisation du rapport entre pouvoir souverain et peine capitale. L’auteur remet en cause les raisons qui attribuent à l’autorité politique le droit de vie et de mort sur les citoyens. La tentative de redéfinir un concept de souveraineté soutenant la position abolitionniste dévoile le lien théologico-politique légitimant « le pouvoir de donner la mort ». Si l’on place la dimension transcendantale incarnée par le pouvoir souverain avant l’identité morale de l’individu, la mise à mort du criminel peut alors être justifiée. Le défi philosophique de cet ouvrage est précisément de renverser ce paradigme en vue de fonder l’inviolabilité de l’individu contre le pouvoir souverain lui-même et d’affirmer l’inadmissibilité morale de mettre à mort un homme, quel que soit le crime qu’il ait commis.

These 12 essays, some taken from a colloquium held in Liverpool in 1998, reflect on the state of Late Medieval France after its long war with England.

Political power, authority, court life, war, diplomacy and propaganda are all discussed.

By paying careful attention to the historical, political, and philosophical contexts of Montesquieu's ideas, the contributors provide fresh readings of The Spirit of Laws, clarify the goals and ambitions of its author, and point out the pertinence of his thinking to the problems of our world today.

In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the ideas and practices of justice in Europe underwent significant change as procedures were transformed and criminal and civil caseloads grew apace. Drawing on the rich judicial records of Marseille from the years 1264 to 1423, especially records of civil litigation, this book approaches the courts of law from the perspective of the users of the courts (the consumers of justice) and explains why men and women chose to invest resources in the law. Daniel Lord Smail shows that the courts were quickly adopted as a public stage on which litigants could take revenge on their enemies. Even as the new legal system served the interest of royal or communal authority, it also provided the consumers of justice with a way to broadcast their hatreds and social sanctions to a wider audience and negotiate their own community standing in the process. The emotions that had driven bloodfeuds and other forms of customary vengeance thus never went away, and instead were fully incorporated into the new procedures.

Three women. Three countries. One unforgettable journey. The Braid is a vibrant and singular reminder of what connects us all – across borders, across languages, across cultures. ‘A beautifully written novel of determination, bravery, and hope. You will remember Smita, Giulia, and Sarah long after you’ve read their stories.’ – AJ Pearce, author of Dear Mrs Bird In India, Smita is an untouchable. She dreams of giving her young daughter an education and will go to any length to make that happen, including leaving behind all she knows in search of a better future. In Sicily, Giulia works in her father’s wig workshop, the last of its kind in Palermo. When her father is the victim of a serious accident, she discovers that her family’s livelihood is at stake. In Canada, Sarah is a twice-divorced mother of three children and a successful lawyer whose identity is wrapped up in her work. Just as she expects the promotion she’s been working her entire career for, she learns she has breast cancer. 'Laetitia Colombani is master at the art of storytelling.' – Le Monde
