The French Exception
'Adam Plowright's excellent book captures the strangeness of Macron's life' Evening Standard THE FIRST BIOGRAPHY OF EMMANUEL MACRON IN ENGLISH From total unknown to one of Europe's most powerful men in just a few years, at 39, France's youngest leader since Napoleon is intent on conquering the world stage. But what lies beneath the façade of this youthful, ultra-confident and calculating president? How did someone from small-town France assemble -- in just 12 months -- the network, team and finances to win the presidency? Now elected, can he make the French feel better about themselves? Can he rally Europe around him and turn the tide of right-wing nationalism sweeping the continent? Critically, what will his presidency mean for Britain? Featuring never-before printed interviews with key members of Macron's team, his friends, mentors and political detractors, acclaimed Paris-based journalist Adam Plowright asks: can the shine on this brilliant new president last? And for how long?
Dire l’interdit
Church discipline and the Reformed consistory, whether in Hungary, the Swiss world, France, The Netherlands or the British Isles, have become the subject of intense scholarly discussion. The fifteen essays gathered in this volume examine the process of censure and excommunication across Europe from the mid-sixteenth through the late eighteenth centuries.

Öffentlichkeit - Monument - Text
Der 14. Kongress für Griechische und Lateinische Epigraphik stellte die Bedeutung der Inschriften für die öffentliche Kommunikation in den Mittelpunkt der Diskussion. Dabei sollte vor allem danach gefragt werden, wie sich dieser kommunikative Charakter der Inschriften nicht nur durch den Text ausdrücke, vielmehr in den meisten Fällen noch weit mehr durch das Monument, mit dem die Inschrift verbunden ist. Daneben war nach dem Ort und damit nach dem Publikum zu fragen, für das die Inschriften mitsamt den Monumenten bestimmt waren. So wurde untersucht, ob städtische Zentren andere Ausdrucksformen erfordern als ländliche Räume, ob pagane Heiligtümer und christliche Kirchen spezifische Formen der Kommunikation erkennen lassen, nicht anders als bei Inschriften, die innerhalb von Häusern erscheinen oder auch zum Beispiel in Hafenstädten. Erstmals wurden auch Regionen eingeschlossen, in denen neben griechischen und lateinischen Inschriften auch andere epigraphische Kulturen erscheinen, vor allem der vordere Orient und Ägypten.
Crossing Traditions: Essays on the Reformation and Intellectual History
English Irena Backus' scholarship has been characterised by profound historical learning and philological acumen, extraordinary mastery of a wide range of languages, and broad-ranging interests. From the history of historiography to the story of Biblical exegesis and the reception of the Church Fathers, her research on the long sixteenth century stands as a point of reference for both historians of ideas and church historians alike.
