La democracia griega y sus intérpretes en la tradición occidental
El libro que el lector tiene en sus manos es el fruto de un coloquio interdisciplinar, celebrado en Sevilla en octubre de 2022, en el que participaron estudiosos de distintas disciplinas (Filosofía, Historia, Filología) y épocas (Antigüedad, Medievo, Modernidad e, incluso, mundo actual) y que abordaron algunos de los temas clave para entender cómo surgió la idea de gobierno popular y qué dilemas acarreó la discusión de la noción de democracia. Entre los asuntos que este volumen propone a discusión, cabe subrayar los siguientes: la gestión de la racionalidad y la emotividad humanas; la ley y la justicia convencionales frente a la naturaleza; la noción participativa de ciudadanía; el feminismo y la perspectiva de género; la naturaleza y alcance de instituciones y magistraturas; el control del poder.

The Secret of the Hittites
The author of the acclaimed Gods, Graves, and Scholars tells the dramatic tale of the Hittites, an Indo-European people who became a dominant power in the Middle East. Their struggle in Egypt with Ramses II for control of Syria led to one of the greatest battles of the ancient world. The fall of the Hittite empire was sudden, and historical records were scarce--until the discovery of cuneiform tablets yielded a rich store of information on which this work is based. "...a saga richly charged with dramatic twists and with enthralling accounts of scholarly detective work."--The Atlantic.
From the Mari Archives
For over 40 years, Jack M. Sasson has been studying and commenting on the cuneiform archives from Mari on the Euphrates River, especially those from the age of Hammurabi of Babylon. Among Mari’s wealth of documents, some of the most interesting are letters from and to kings, their advisers and functionaries, their wives and daughters, their scribes and messengers, and a variety of military personnel. The letters are revealing and often poignant. Sasson selects more than 700 letters as well as several excerpts from administrative documents, translating them and providing them with illuminating comments. In distilling a lifetime of study and interpretation, Sasson hopes to welcome readers in...
History and Memory
In recent years, "memory" has become a central and controversial concept in historical studies. It is a term that denotes a new and distinctive field of study and a fresh way of conceptualizing history as a more general field of inquiry. This book provides historians with an accessible and stimulating introduction to debates and theories about memory and approaches to the study of it in history and other disciplines. The book explores the relationships between the individual and the collective, between memory as survival and memory as reconstruction, between remembering as a subjective experience and as a social or cultural practice, and between memory and history as modes of retrospective knowledge.
Egypt of the Pharaohs
