The Portuguese were the first Europeans to play a major commercial, military and diplomatic role in the Persian Gulf basin. They first appeared before Hormuz in 1507, established a toll house on the island in 1515, and remained active in the wider region for the next two centuries. This book commemorates the quincentennial of their arrival in the Persian Gulf. Its contributors offer an array of fresh research on their activities on Hormuz and beyond, examining these from a variety of angles, with special attention to the wider context involving the adjacent Safavid, Ottoman and Mughal states. The essays presented here explore the commercial and military activities of the Portuguese, their rivalry with the Ottoman state for naval control in the Gulf, and their interaction with Safavid Persia by way of missionary ventures, diplomacy and travel, but also represent new and exciting research on the historiographical record of their presence in the form of cartography and the discourse about Persia it generated in Portugal.

Ava and Kaye used to be best friends. Until one night two years ago, vampires broke through the magical barrier protecting their town, and in the ensuing attack, Kaye’s mother was killed, and Ava was turned into a vampire. Since then, Ava has been trapped in her house. Her mother needs her: Ava still has her witch powers, and Eugenia must take them in order hide that she’s a vampire as well. Desperate to escape her confinement, Ava needs to reach the vampires that live in the forest and to stop her mother’s plans for the town. When there is another attack, she sees her opportunity and escapes. Kaye, now at the end of her training as a Flame witch, is ready to fulfil her duty of killing any vampires that threaten the town, including Ava. On the night that Ava escapes, Kaye follows her and convinces her to travel together into the forest, while secretly planning to turn her in. Ava agrees, hoping to rekindle their old friendship, and the romantic feelings she'd started to have for Kaye before that terrible night. But with monstrous trees that devour humans whole, vampires who attack from above, and Ava’s stepfather tracking her, the woods are full of danger. As they travel deeper into the forest, Kaye questions everything she thought she knew. The two are each other's greatest threat—and also their only hope, if they want to make it through the forest unscathed.

L'ouvrage collectif sur les lieux de culte en France et en Europe est un des premiers dossiers presentant de maniere exhaustive l'histoire, la sociologie et le statut juridique des edifices du culte dans une selection d'Etats membres de l'Union Europeenne.La construction et l'entretien des edifices cultuels, la nature de leur affectation mais egalement leur statut au regard des disciplines et droits confessionnels sont autant d'elements traites dans ce livre.Ces themes sont envisages au prisme des evolutions du paysage religieux contemporain dont certains effets ne sont pas sans consequences sur les modes d'utilisation et la construction d'edifices dedies a l'exercice du culte. Le tassement de la pratique religieuse au sein des religions historiques tend a remettre en cause le principe de l'affectation cultuelle exclusive des eglises et des temples au profit d'une double, voir d'une triple utilisation. Inversement, les confessions religieuses d'implantation recente revendiquent l'edification de mosquees, de pagodes et de salles de priere.A cet egard, "Les lieux de culte en France et en Europe" est un instrument de travail necessaire pour ceux qui sont interesses par les relations entre l'Etat, la societe et les religions.

Encuadernación: RústicaColección: Minima TrottaJesús no era cristiano. Nunca se proclamó Mesías. Era un hebreo observante que jamás hubiera imaginado dar origen a una nueva religión y mucho menos fundar una Iglesia. Para darse cuenta de esto basta leer con atención y por entero el Nuevo Testamento. Es lo que hace este libro, en el que, desmintiendo la pretensión de historicidad de la dogmática y volviendo críticamente sobre los hitos fundacionales del cristianismo, se presenta a Jesús como un profeta judío itinerante, un misionero apocalíptico que anunciaba la buena noticia del próximo fin del mundo y del inminente triunfo del Reino.
