I can vividly remember the last steps of the last ballet, walking off the stage led by a mother and knowing the decision I had to make. That was my last dance. Mary Li (nee McKendry) is an international ballet star and a mother like no other. She became a household name when her husband Li Cunxin published his bestselling memoir, Mao's Last Dancer - but that book told only half the story. Growing up in a rambunctious family in Rockhampton, Mary discovered an extraordinary early passion for ballet. It saw her move to London at age sixteen, to study at the Royal Ballet School and dance at the London Festival Ballet with the likes of Nureyev, and later to Houston Ballet, where as Principal Dancer she fell in love with the acclaimed Chinese ballet dancer Li Cunxin. The couple became the darlings of the dance world, and were happier than they could have imagined at the arrival of their firstborn daughter, Sophie. Then right at the height of her international career, Mary seemingly disappeared from view, leaving the fans aghast. What could have happened to cause a woman so committed, so talented, to give it all away in a heartbeat? Now, almost twenty years on, fans finally get their answer about what happened next to this inspiring family, and learn why it is Mary's turn to tell a truly remarkable tale. This is a powerful and uplifting memoir about chasing an impossible dream, and sacrificing one's own ambition for the love of a child. It is a moving and unforgettable story of passion, dedication and devotion - and the highly anticipated sequel to one of the world's most beloved books

It is deeply healing and empowering.The journey will be as individual, as each is unique.

We've heard the expression s**t happens too many times. It's because it does!'Bout Life 'N' Other S**t addresses some frightfully dreaded day-to-day struggles in verse. In Volume I Other S**t we see it manifesting, seemingly randomly under various guises and disguises. It is described coarsely at times with a directness that can shock. The author hopes that this openness inspires the reader to own theirs fearlessly with no judgement or shame, no naming and shaming, but just a gentle all-embracing acknowledging of what is.In stark contrast 'Bout Life takes us on heart-warming magical journeys through different characters, settings and experiences. It rekindles our child-like sense of awe and wonder in the ordinary, transforming it into the extraordinary. A magic wand is waved reawakening the power of our imagination for present and future manifestation and transformation.Ultimately, it reminds us that magic is in us and all around us.

Si le cours de l'Histoire n'est jamais un long fleuve tranquille, que dire des interprétations que les grands événements et les grandes dates suscitent ! Empoisonnement de Gabrielle d'Estrées, affaire Dreyfus, mythe du Masque de fer, victimes de la Révolution française, mort de Napoléon, affaire des diamants de Bokassa, suicide de Pierre Bérégovoy... Qu'il s'agisse des victoires éclatantes ou des plus cruelles défaites, de décès de grands noms ou d'accessions au pouvoir, de scandales politiques ou de bilans des guerres, notre histoire est une fabuleuse machine à inventer les plus incroyables mensonges. Le livre de Philippe Valode et Luc Mary revient avec délice et précision sur près d'une centaine de mensonges historiques qui ont eu - et ont encore - la vie dure. Des Gaulois à François Mitterrand, de la Renaissance à Napoléon, en passant par le siècle des Lumières et les deux guerres mondiales, les auteurs parviennent à démêler les fils parfois invisibles de la mystification. Grâce à leur analyse approfondie des faits, les événements majeurs de nos annales sont revus et corrigés avec minutie. Le mensonge qui éclate alors au grand jour a parfois de quoi surprendre... De la simple rumeur fantaisiste à la stratégie mensongère, l'imagination des puissants, des comploteurs et même de certains historiens est sans limite !

Podtitul: Tragédie jednoho panovnického rodu Příběh rodiny posledního ruského cara Mikuláše II. na pozadí bouřlivých událostí dvou ruských revolucí. Čtenář se seznámí s osobou panovníka a jeho nejbližšími, zajímavý výklad mu pomůže pochopit historické souvislosti a příčiny pádu dynastie. Dozví se mnohé i o „divotvůrci“ Grigoriji Rasputinovi a jeho neblahém vlivu na carskou rodinu. Autor se nevyhýbá ani líčení obojetné politiky bolševiků a jejich naprostého nedostatku skrupulí při osnování vraždy carské rodiny. Živý a poutavý jazyk a zároveň informativní styl knihy bezpochyby zaujme i ty čtenáře, kteří se v ruských dějinách počátku 20. století příliš nevyznají. Lze doporučit i jako „historickou detektivku“.

Quelles raclées historiques ! Parfois, les vaincus sont couverts de gloire. Quand on livre une guerre, il vaut mieux la gagner... Mais l'Histoire passe parfois au-delà de cette évidence... Quand Napoléon se fait corriger à Waterloo, nul ne peut se douter que cette raclée entrerait ainsi dans l'Histoire. Et que dire des perdants de Roncevaux, Alamo, Varsovie ou Troie ? Luc Mary et Philippe Valode plongent dans ces batailles féroces pour redonner gloire aux vaincus ! La défaite n'enlève rien à l'héroïsme, au sacrifice, à l'honneur laissés sur les champs de batailles. La défaite peut-être belle !
