Sommario/riassunto

Cet essai de ce que nous appellerions une prosopographie littéraire est consacré à une série limitée d'épigrammes de Martial, dont la sociabilité est bien connue ; il cherche à préciser la place de plusieurs partenaires de l'œuvre comme Terentius Priscus et Iulius Martialis, comme Faustinus, comme l'ami de trente-quatre années Iulius, et Frontin. Il propose plusieurs identifications nouvelles et insiste sur la fusion du réalisme, évident, et de l'imaginaire symbolique, moins aisément discernable, qui se fixe dans certains lieux comme tel site de la ville aux sept collines ou, plus loin, comme la Vénétie d'Ateste, Patavium et Aquileia, la Narbonnaise de Tolosa, les Espagnes de Corduba et de la celtibère Bilbilis.

Sommario/riassunto

In this riveting book, authors and authorities on modern day slavery Kevin Bales and Ron Soodalter expose the disturbing phenomenon of human trafficking and slavery that exists now in the United States. In The Slave Next Door we find that slaves are all around us, hidden in plain sight: the dishwasher in the kitchen of the neighborhood restaurant, the kids on the corner selling cheap trinkets, the man sweeping the floor of the local department store. In these pages we also meet some unexpected slaveholders, such as a 27-year old middle-class Texas housewife who is currently serving a life sentence for offences including slavery. Weaving together a wealth of voices-from slaves, slaveholders, and traffickers as well as from experts, counselors, law enforcement officers, rescue and support groups, and others-this book is also a call to action, telling what we, as private citizens, can do to finally bring an end to this horrific crime.
