Jaime Pinsky
About this listen
Audiolivro objetivo e ágil, engajado e muito bem documentado, trata das questões centrais da História da Escravidão no Brasil. A obra de Jaime Pinsky aborda temas como o tráfico, a vida cotidiana dos escravos no trabalho e na senzala, a vida sexual e a resistência oferecida pelos negros contra a opressão. O autor, não aceita, contudo, a ideia, defendida por certos historiadores, de que a escravidão permitia relações harmoniosas entre senhores e escravos: no audiolivro, ele revela o caráter cruel da escravidão e sua influência perversa na formação de nossa sociedade.

Christmas is the single biggest annual event on the planet, a time for merry-making, over-indulgence, peace, goodwill, and the occasional family row. It’s as comfortable and familiar as a pair of old shoes and yet still glittery and exciting. But what do you really know about it? It’s stuffed full of traditions and rituals that most of us have been observing all our lives without having the slightest idea of where they come from.

The Roman gladiator has long been a figure of fascination.

We know that these men entertained Roman audiences by fighting in dangerous and often deadly games. But who were the gladiators? What were their lives like? And why do they continue to have such a strong hold on our imagination, centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire?
