The Story of Y, fits inside the genre of Memoir without being a linear biography or a reflection at a distance. With its first person of the present narrative point of view, it insists in jumping back in time to understand what was brewed there and if it became (or not), a crucial part of what is today. The main character, driven by a tragic event - the death of her father, whom she never saw again since she was nineteen- reluctantly must rearrange the boxes in that closet in which, when she was young, managed to pile the unnecessary and close the door…until today.
Puss in Boots is a clever cat who won’t settle for having a poor master. So he dupes a wicked giant out of his grand castle, claims the surrounding land as his master Caraba’s, and charms the king, who lets his daughter marry Caraba. And Puss in Boots lives happily ever after!

Ein Regisseur will mit vier Schauspielern eine Szene proben. Es ist nicht irgendeine, sondern jene Passage aus dem Johannes-Evangelium, die als Magdalena am Grab bekannt ist. Sie proben in einem leerstehenden Haus am Mulholland Drive in Hollywood. Die kurze Szene, die so einfach und eindeutig scheint, wird immer wieder durchgespielt, denn bei jedem Durchgang verliert sie mehr und mehr an vertrauter Kontur: Spiel und Wirklichkeit durchdringen sich auf fast gespenstische Weise. Alles hängt offenbar an einer Wendung, die erforderlich wäre, damit das Geschichten ganz verständlich würde – an einem Satz, den der Bibeltext jedoch ausspart, als solle hier ein Geheimnis immer neu entdeckt werden.

This is the first single volume edition of A Trick to Catch the Old One for many decades. This edition presents a thoroughly reconsidered text based on collation of all known copies of the 1608 quarto (including material unnoticed by earlier editors). Textual analysis draws on detailed internal investigation and the printer's wider practice to propose that relatively improvisational procedures and a paper quota governed A Trick's printing operations. Discovery of an overlooked record revises the date of court performance to 1 January 1607, with implications for the play's early history. Critical discussion freshly examines the play's multi-layered ironic texture in relation to such issues as the status of women, marriage's relation to prostitution and vice versa, and the contemporary marriage market. And the Courtesan receives special attention in the context of this overarching ironic scheme. An extensive stage history explores original staging and documents revivals to 2011. The commentary is the most wide-ranging and comprehensive of all modern editions. ;

Between 1983 and 1987, mercenaries adopting the pseudonym GAL (Grupos Antiterroristas de Liberación, Antiterrorist Liberation Group) paid by the Spanish treasury and relying upon national intelligence support were at war with the Basque militant group ETA (Euskadi (e)Ta Askatasuna, Basque Country and Freedom). Over four years, their campaign of extrajudicial assassinations spanned the French-Spanish border. Nearly thirty people were killed in a campaign comprised of torture, kidnapping, bombing and the assassination of suspected ETA activists and Basque refugees. This establishment of unofficial counterterrorist squads by a Spanish Government was a blatant detour from legality. It was also a rare case in Europe where no less than fourteen high-ranking Spanish police officers and senior government officials, including the Minister of Interior himself, were eventually arrested and condemned for counter-terrorism wrongdoings and illiberal practices. Thirty years later, this campaign of intimidation, coercion and targeted killings continues to grip Spain. The GAL affair was not only a serious example of a major departure from accepted liberal democratic constitutional principles of law and order, but also a brutal campaign that postponed by decades the possibility of a political solution for the Basque conflict. Counter-terror by proxy uncovers why and how a democratic government in a liberal society turned to a 'dirty war' and went down the route of illegal and extrajudicial killing actions. It offers a fuller examination of the long-term implications of the use of unorthodox counter-terrorist strategies in a liberal democracy.
