"Longing itself is nothing but the heart's open spaces," writes Mari L'Esperance. And in the open spaces at the heart of these poems is a mother who has disappeared. In a world of war and displacement, illness of the mind and body, imprisonment and violence both historical and personal, the poet leads her readers through a landscape of loss. In unadorned language, she draws readers into the interplay between articulation and silence-and finally offers a vision of redemption.

This work examines some of the sources that María de Zayas uses to present some of her concepts about the devil, evil, men, honor and love in relationship to the supernatural. Contrary to some modern critics, the Spanish people of the Seventeenth century were very much aware of the significance, customs, and relevance of these supernatural beliefs in their lives.

Since the fall of Indonesian president Suharto, a major focus of the country's reformers has been the corrupt and inefficient judicial system. Within the context of a history of the Supreme Court in post-independence Indonesia, Sebastiaan Pompe analyzes the causes of the judiciary's failure over the last five decades. This study provides an essential background for those seeking to understand why legal reform has been so slow and frustrating in the post-1998 period.

El presente libro se originó de unas mesas redondas sobre la escritora y filósofa española que se llevaron a cabo en la Capilla Alfonsina en 1994. El volumen se divide en tres secciones: la primera está conformada por un ensayo de María Zambrano sobre El laberinto de la soledad, y un texto que Octavio Paz escribió con motivo de la muerte de la filósofa. La segunda sección presenta cinco de las ocho ponencias presentadas en las mesas redondas, cuyos autores son: Adolfo Castañón, Rose Corral, Angelina Muñiz-Huberman, Anthony Stanton y Ramón Xirau. En la tercera sección se recoge la correspondencia de María Zambrano durante los primeros veinticinco años de exilio. Entre sus corresponsales destaca Alfonso Reyes.

Este volumen, compuesto por ocho ensayos y una suerte de epílogo dialogado con la escritora María Rosa Lojo, discute algunos de los ejes vertebradores de su obra: la conflictiva relación con lo sagrado y su constante interpelación, la memoria de la inmigración, la presencia de figuras femeninas cuestionadoras del discurso masculino hegemónico o de otros personajes marginales que resignifican la historia oficial, los siempre cuestionados y cuestionables rasgos autobiográficos en su obra a partir de las figuras parentales o de una posible cartografía de la intimidad, la problemática identitaria a través de los personajes que se ubican en un borde sospechoso entre dos mundos y el encuentro armonioso de diferentes estéticas, discursos y géneros en el seno de sus obras.--
