br. Chi si accosti all'esperienza giuridica dell'antica Grecia, si trova dinanzi uno scenario assai diverso da quello che il talento romano e una lunga tradizione ci hanno reso familiare: un mondo, per molti aspetti, decisamente "altro". Non una parola che designi il "diritto", non una vera scienza giuridica, non un chiaro discrimine tra diritto pubblico e diritto privato, quasi nessuna soluzione di continuità tra la pervasività del "politico" (e dell'etica che vi è connessa) e le tecniche del "giuridico". E tuttavia si tratta di un universo in cui presero vita straordinarie forme di razionalità, ingegneria costituzionale e analisi sociale: un'esperienza che avrebbe avuto, con l'antica Roma, una profonda osmosi culturale, e avrebbe poi esercitato un'influenza determinante sul nostro modo di concepire la vita dell'uomo entro una comunità. Questo libro intende offrire - a livello didattico, ma senza rinunciare al pensare per problemi - una ricognizione dei caratteri d'insieme che assunse la vita giuridica nelle antiche poleis (prima fra tutte Atene), e dei principali modelli che ne ha tratto il pensiero politico e giusfilosofico moderno, per poi soffermarsi su alcuni punti strategici in cui, seguendo accostamenti spesso operati già dagli antichi, il confronto con Roma risulta particolarmente significativo.
Minor shelfwear to book and DJ. Old price sticker to ffep. ; 0.88 x 8.75 x 5.69 Inches; 214 pages; The Greeks had a word for it, and the word was demokratia, a compound of demos (`the people') and kratos (`power or rule'). But it is significant that the first occurrence of the word in surviving Greek literature is in Herodotus' History, which he was writing during the third quarter of the fifth century BC. It was perhaps coined in the period following the reforms of the last decade of the sixth, which later won fame for Cleisthenes as `the man who gave the Athenians their democracy'. In 431 BC Pericles could claim that the Athenian system of government was unique, and an example to every other society in Greece. It is the object of this book to explain to the modern reader what the institutions of the classical Athenian democracy were, how they worked, and what assumptions underlay them. It is principally concerned with the fully developed democracy of the post-Ephialtic period; but a chapter is devoted to tracing the broad development of the Athenian constitution from the reforms of Solon in the early sixth century to those of Ephialtes in the late 460s, so that the developed democracy can be seen in its proper historical context. Stockton incorporates recent important work by historians, epigraphists, and archaeologists into his study.

Echoes of Shakespeare's "Tempest" resonate through this romantic adventure on Corfu. "When Lucy Waring came to Corfu to visit her sister Phyllida Ford, she was elated to discover that the castello above their villa had been rented to Sir Julian Gale. A very minor cog in the London theatre, Lucy not unnaturally felt something close to reverence for Sir Julian, one of the brilliant lights in England"s theatre world. But any hopes of meeting him was quickly dashed by Phyl, who indicated, with uncharacteristic vagueness, that not all was well with the great man and that his composer son, Max, discouraged visitors, particularly strangers.Thus begins a series of mystifying and thoroughly frightening events which tinge the otherwise sparkling setting of Corfu with the dark hues of violence."
