In this narrative, Arthur Conan Doyle reconstructs a romantic entanglement that ends in scandal and legal consequence. The Love Affair of George Vincent Parker is both a tale of betrayal and a dissection of motive. Doyle explores the moral gray areas between passion and criminality in this short but compelling case.
A Syria-born dancer offers his deeply personal story of war, statelessness, and the pursuit of the art of dance in this inspirational memoir. Dance or Die is an autobiographical coming-of-age account of Ahmad Joudeh, a young refugee who grows up in Damascus with dreams of becoming a dancer. When he is recruited by one of Syria's top dance companies, neither bombs nor family opposition can keep him from taking classes, practicing hard, and becoming a Middle Eastern celebrity on a Lebanese reality show. Despite death threats if Ahmad continues to dance, his father kicking him out of the house, and the war around him intensifying, he persists and even gets a tattoo on his neck right where the executioner's blade would fall that says, "Dance or Die." A powerful look at refugee life in Syria, Dance or Die tells of the pursuit of personal expression in the most dangerous of circumstances and of the power of art to transcend war and suffering. It follows Ahmad from Damascus to Beirut to Amsterdam, where he finds a home with one of Europe's top ballet troupes, and from where he continues to fight for the human rights of refugees everywhere through his art, his activism, and his commitment to justice.Show book
This is a small part of the book introduction : In the annals of history, there are rare figures whose lives transcend their time, leaving an indelible mark on the tapestry of human civilization. Ashoka the Great, often dubbed "The Enlightened Ruler," stands as one such luminary figure. His story, one of profound transformation and enduring legacy, continues to captivate generations. In this journey through the life and times of Ashoka, we traverse the corridors of ancient India, exploring an epoch marked by both conquest and enlightenment. The tale of Ashoka Maurya begins in 304 BCE, a significant year that heralded the birth of this remarkable figure in Pataliputra, the capital of the Maurya Empire. From his earliest days, Ashoka's life was intertwined with the grand narrative of a powerful empire, where the fate of millions was shaped by the decisions of a few. We uncover the formative years of Ashoka's education and upbringing, the foundations upon which his reign would be built. The ascent to the throne in 272 BCE marked a crucial turning point. Ashoka's journey as the third Mauryan emperor was not simply an ascent to power; it was the start of a profound odyssey, a saga marked by military conquests that painted the map of the empire in the hues of expansion.Show book
Art forgeries are everywhere, in museums, exhibition halls, galleries. Why? Because forgeries are made with the complicity of the artists themselves (sometimes), through the collusion of the deceased artists' families (very often), and with the connivance of experts and gallery owners the world over (all the time). Eric Piedoie Le Tiec was a forger for 30 years and spent 10 years behind bars. In this extraordinary story of one of the main forgers of the last forty years, we discover the hidden world of the art market. Miró, Toulouse-Lautrec, Dufy, Chagall, Arman... and above all César, all the great masters pass through. The undisputed king of forgery created thousands of forgeries—of all the great masters—enriching many art dealers. “Everyone knew what we were doing, in Nice, Copenhagen, New York, Antwerp, Shanghai, but everyone kept quiet because there was a lot of money to be made.” The art racket finally exposed! Eric Piedoie Le Tiec, 63 years old, is today a gallery owner and art dealer in Grasse, on the French Riviera. This audiobook is read by a synthesized voice.Show book
