20032309595London and New York: Fourth Estate 2003. First Edition. First Edition. Near Fine/Near Fine. First edition. Jacket edges lightly bumped. 2003 Hard Cover. 298 pp. "The childhood world of Hugo Hamilton is a confused place: His father a brutal Irish nationalist demands his children speak Gaelic at home whilst his mother a softly spoken German emigrant who escaped Nazi Germany at the beginning of the war encourages them to speak German. All Hugo wants to do is speak English. English is after all what the other children in Dublin speak. English is what they use when they hunt down Hugo or 'Eichmann' as they dub him in the streets of Dublin and English is what they use when they bring him to trial and execute him at a mock seaside court. Out of this fear and confusion Hugo tries to build a balanced view of the world to turn the twisted logic of what he is told into truth. It is a journey that ends in liberation but not before this little boy has uncovered the dark and long-buried secrets that lie at the bottom of his parents' wardrobe.In one of the finest books to have emerged from Ireland since Patrick McCabe's THE BUTCHER BOY and Seamus Deane's READING IN THE DARK acclaimed novelist Hugo Hamilton has finally written his own story.

Para Hugo Marín el arte es un medio de autoconocimiento que posibilita la creación y el poder organizador de la naturaleza. Tanto en la pintura como en la escultura se expresa a través de imágenes relacionadas a elementos míticos y ancestrales que se conservan en todas las culturas a través de la memoria colectiva. Mezcla lo primitivo y ritual de culturas ya extinguidas. Recurre tanto a mitos y símbolos de antiguas religiones como la tibetana o el Tantra de la India como a la iconografía de los pueblos precolombinos y el arte rupestre. Para sus pinturas utiliza la técnica mixta en la que incluye adobe y paja el polvo de ladrillo mármol y grafito. Son obras en las que ejecución y temática reflejan claramente su interés por los temas antropológicos. Ocho Libros unknown books

2017323782017. ISBN-13:9781584771821; ISBN-10: 1584771828. A Classic Treatise on International Maritime Law Grotius Hugo. The Freedom of the Seas or The Right which Belongs to the Dutch to Take Part in the East Indian Trade. Translated with a Revision of the Latin Text of 1633 by Ralph van Deman Magoffin. Edited with an Introductory Note by James Brown Scott. Originally published: New York: Oxford University Press 1916. xv 79 79 81-83 pp. Main text paged in duplicate with translation and original Latin text on facing leaves total 182 pp. Reprinted 2001 2017 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584771821; ISBN-10: 1584771828. Hardcover. New. $22.95 Translation of Grotius' work Mare Liberum with Latin and English on facing pages. This groundbreaking work was commissioned by the Dutch East India Company to dispute the monopoly on East Indian trade routes claimed by the Portuguese. It argues that the seas are international territory open to all nations thus rejecting the idea that any area of the seas could belong to a country. An instant classic it received a great deal of attention when it was published in 1609. Perhaps the most important reply is John Selden's Mare Clausum 1635 which defends British claims to sovereignty over the coastal waters of the British Isles. HUGO GROTIUS 1583-1645 a pre-eminent contributor to international legal doctrine was an influential Dutch jurist philosopher and theologian. Grotius is also known for De Jure Belli ac Pacis On the Law of War and Peace originally published in 1625 which is widely considered to be the first master treatise on international law and De Jure Praedae 1604 in which he argues against territorial sovereignty of the seas. unknown books

New. $24.95 Reprint of the first edition. Written between 1604 and 1605 De Jure Praedae On the Law of Prize which remained in manuscript until 1868 is the earliest significant legal work by Hugo Grotius 1583-1645. His discussion of prize is not restricted to issues of legality; he seeks to determine also whether the capture of enemy material is honorable or expedient. He pursues these issues through an elegant argument based on natural law. Remarkable for its intellectual finesse and literary quality De Jure Praedae is equally significant as the source of two of his most important writings. Mare Liberum 1609 is based on one of its chapters. It also contains an early version of De Jure Belli ac Pacis 1625. In this regard the book offers a valuable introduction to the issues explored in these later works. Appended to this reprint is Robert J. Fruin's valuable essay An Unpublished Work of Hugo Grotius's. Written in 1868 and later republished in English in 1925 it remains the principal study of this work. Hugo Grotius 1583-1645 a pre-eminent contributor to international legal doctrine was an influential Dutch jurist philosopher and theologian. His other works include De Jure Belli ac Pacis On the Law of War and Peace 1625 one of the great treatises on international law and Mare Liberum The Freedom of the Seas 1609 a compelling plea for free trade among nations. unknown books
2011611112011. Grotius Hugo. Whewell William Editor and Translator. Grotius on the Rights of War and Peace: An Abridged Translation. Edited for the Syndics of the University Press.

Cover and page edges lightly soiled. Else very good. $24.95 Reprint of the sole edition of this translation. In this momentous work Grotius describes the situations in which war is a valid tool of law enforcement and outlines the principles of armed combat. Though based on Christian natural law Grotius advanced the novel argument that his system would still be valid if it lacked a divine basis. In this regard he pointed to the future by moving international law in a secular direction. This edition was abridged by removing most of the quotations from "ancient historians orators philosophers and poets" which are identified in footnotes. As Whewell states in the preface they tended to "confuse the subject obscure the reasoning and weary the reader." By removing them he enhanced clarity and reduced the bulk of the work by "more than a half" vi. Originally published in 1625 De Jure Belli ac Pacis On the Law of War and Peace translated by Whewell as On the Rights of War and Peace is widely considered to be the first modern treatise on international law. HUGO GROTIUS 1583-1645 a pre-eminent contributor to international legal doctrine was an influential Dutch jurist philosopher and theologian.
