South Africa has been described as "A World in One Country" and a "Rainbow Nation." Its landscape ranges from miles of glorious beaches to the inland desert of the Karoo, the sweeping grasslands of the Highveld plateau, and the subtropical bush of the Lowveld. Its ethnic makeup is equally varied. There are eleven official languages, nine major black African tribes, two major white tribes, as well as a representation of all the world's major religions. It has a free market economy while communists share in government; one of the world's most liberal constitutions and a deeply patriarchal society; and very rich and very poor people coexisting. South Africa has come through fire, and although there is still considerable heat, it is doing pretty well. This insiders' guide will introduce you to the universal warmth and cultural diversity of its people, explain the backdrop of their troubled past, and familiarize you with their everyday life so that you'll feel comfortable whether you're invited to a shack in the townships, a mansion in the suburbs, or a braai on the beach.

A Wall Street Journal bestseller. For nearly thirty years a serial killer has been hiding in plain sight. So has the key to an FBI agent’s dark past. A family is murdered as they sleep. FBI Special Agent Nina Guerrera and her new team are tasked with determining whether there is any link between this attack and another triple homicide from four years earlier and more than two thousand miles away. In the process, they’ll discover a serial killer so cunning that his grisly trail of death spanning nearly three decades has gone undetected. Each crime scene reminds Nina of the ghostly Latin folktale of La Llorona, which terrified her when she was an abandoned and vulnerable child. Now it’s back to haunt her. Nina has known evil, but these macabre reenactments are as disturbing as they are baffling. Now she must uncover the meaning behind the rituals as the evidence leads her in an unexpected direction—far closer to home than anyone could have imagined. As the team narrows in on a suspect, the present collides with Nina’s past in a twist of fate that forces her to make the ultimate sacrifice.

Scala’s The Fake Husband offers readers and performers an accessible English script which captures the comic brilliance of the commedia dell’arte. Expanded from an earlier scenario, Il marito (The Husband), the play presents characters originally created by members of the Gelosi troupe, in particular the stars Isabella Andreini and Sylvia Roncagli. Scala’s ability to capture the individual artistry of these women makes this script especially exciting and shows his appreciation of the towering contribution made by the female performers who joined the troupes in the 1560s. Also included is a comprehensive study of Scala’s place in the theatrical world and beyond. The Other Voice in Early Modern Europe - The Toronto Series, volume 75

Per què els musulmans van ser empesos a rebre el baptisme quan bé se sabia que no creien en Jesucrist? Per què els seus descendents, els moriscos, van ser expulsats després de tants esforços per a allunyar-los de l'islam? La historiografia, des dels anys setanta, se centrava en la percepció dels moriscos, víctimes de la conversió forçada; en aquest llibre s'analitza la conversió dels musulmans d'Espanya al catolicisme partint dels conceptes de les autoritats cristianes. Des de la conversió forçada dels jueus pel rei Sisebut el segle VII, passant pels majors teòlegs i canonistes medievals i pels historiadors dels baptismes a Granada i València, s'hi exploren les regles del joc que aleshores regien el baptisme i l'expulsió de les minories, i es mostra com es van aplicar a Espanya entre la rendició de Granada i la decisió de 1609. S'hi evidencia que, en les relacions entre barons i lletrats, competien diverses concepcions del que significava forçar i del poder dels monarques sobre les con
