Book Synopsis Tortured By My Twin Mates by : Liz Barnet
Download or read book Tortured By My Twin Mates written by Liz Barnet and published by Padnovel. This book was released on 2024-09-20 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Do you think you have a choice, Maya?" Max sneered, raising an eyebrow. "You're nothing but a slave. And what do slaves do?" His grip tightened painfully, forcing a sharp hiss from my lips. Tears blurred my vision as I whispered, "They... obey." As the daughter of the Alpha’s Mistress, Maya was always an outcast, scorned by the pack and tormented by her step-brothers. Maximus and Leonardo Sterling—the infamous Sterling Twins—were future Alphas of the Blackthorn Pack, and they had one goal: to make Maya's life unbearable. Their perfect opportunity came on her eighteenth birthday, when fate delivered a cruel twist—they were her destined mates. That night, they shattered her innocence, marking her against her will, all to exact revenge for the sins of her mother. The Sterling Twins were masters of cruelty, and their thirst for vengeance knew no bounds... But what happens when Maya becomes pregnant by the very brothers who tormented her and chooses to flee? Years later, the twin Alphas are on the hunt once again—this time, not just for her, but for their son, whom they now want as the heir to their pack. (Book 1 of the series : 1-43)
Book Synopsis Tortured Confessions by : Ervand Abrahamian
Download or read book Tortured Confessions written by Ervand Abrahamian and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-04-28 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of torture in recent Iranian politics is the subject of Ervand Abrahamian's important and disturbing book. Although Iran officially banned torture in the early twentieth century, Abrahamian provides documentation of its use under the Shahs and of the widespread utilization of torture and public confession under the Islamic Republican governments. His study is based on an extensive body of material, including Amnesty International reports, prison literature, and victims' accounts that together give the book a chilling immediacy. According to human rights organizations, Iran has been at the forefront of countries using systematic physical torture in recent years, especially for political prisoners. Is the government's goal to ensure social discipline? To obtain information? Neither seem likely, because torture is kept secret and victims are brutalized until something other than information is obtained: a public confession and ideological recantation. For the victim, whose honor, reputation, and self-respect are destroyed, the act is a form of suicide. In Iran a subject's "voluntary confession" reaches a huge audience via television. The accessibility of television and use of videotape have made such confessions a primary propaganda tool, says Abrahamian, and because torture is hidden from the public, the victim's confession appears to be self-motivated, increasing its value to the authorities. Abrahamian compares Iran's public recantations to campaigns in Maoist China, Stalinist Russia, and the religious inquisitions of early modern Europe, citing the eerie resemblance in format, language, and imagery. Designed to win the hearts and minds of the masses, such public confessions—now enhanced by technology—continue as a means to legitimize those in power and to demonize "the enemy."
Book Synopsis Tortured Subjects by : Lisa Silverman
Download or read book Tortured Subjects written by Lisa Silverman and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-06-15 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At one time in Europe, there was a point to pain: physical suffering could be a path to redemption. This religious notion suggested that truth was lodged in the body and could be achieved through torture. In Tortured Subjects, Lisa Silverman tells the haunting story of how this idea became a fixed part of the French legal system during the early modern period. Looking closely at the theory and practice of judicial torture in France from 1600 to 1788, the year in which it was formally abolished, Silverman revisits dossiers compiled in criminal cases, including transcripts of interrogations conducted under torture, as well as the writings of physicians and surgeons concerned with the problem of pain, records of religious confraternities, diaries and letters of witnesses to public executions, and the writings of torture's abolitionists and apologists. She contends that torture was at the center of an epistemological crisis that forced French jurists and intellectuals to reconsider the relationship between coercion and sincerity, or between free will and evidence. As the philosophical consensus on which torture rested broke down, and definitions of truth and pain shifted, so too did the foundation of torture, until by the eighteenth century, it became an indefensible practice.
