    For many years, Saint-Germain-des-Prés has been a stronghold of sans culottes, a refuge to artists, a paradise for bohemians. It's where Marat printed L'Ami du Peuple and Thomas Paine wrote The Rights of Man. Napoleon, Hemingway, and Sartre have all called it home. Descartes is buried there. Now bestselling author and Paris expert John Baxter takes listeners on a narrative tour of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, which is also where Baxter makes his home.Tucked along the shores of the Left Bank, Saint-Germain-des-Prés embodies so much of what makes Paris special. Its cobblestone streets and ancient facades survive to this day, spared from modernization thanks to a quirk in their construction. Traditionally cheap rents attracted outsiders and political dissidents from the days of Robespierre to the student revolts of the 1960s. And its intellectual pedigree boasts such luminaries as Pablo Picasso, Arthur Rimbaud, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Simone de Beauvoir, Gertrude Stein, and Albert Camus.Part-history, part-guidebook, Saint-Germain-des-Prés is a fresh look at one of the City of Light's most iconic quarters, and a delight for new tourists and Paris veterans alike.

    DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
    This is a summary, and it does not accompany the official 
    'The Fund' by Rob Copeland delves into the world of billionaire Ray Dalio and his hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates. It exposes the carefully crafted image of Dalio as a benevolent business titan, revealing that his touted "principles" fostered a toxic culture of paranoia and backstabbing within the company. Through interviews with insiders, the book provides a thrilling glimpse into the world of wealth and power, where figures like former FBI director Jim Comey and political candidates like David McCormick are influenced by Dalio's charisma. It serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the disconnect between making money and understanding human nature.
