Sinopsis

Dive into the compelling autobiography of Börje Salming, the legendary Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman who transformed Canadian hockey.

What makes a hockey legend? Börje Salming, celebrated for his fearless, relentless play, was a pioneer among European players in the NHL. Born in the remote village of Salmi, Sweden, Börje's tough upbringing forged his legendary resilience. Whether crossing icy Torneträsk lake or blocking a puck, he took every risk.

Joining the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1973, Börje brought unmatched grit, redefining the defenseman's role in a league dominated by North American players. His success opened the NHL to European talent, leaving an indelible mark on hockey history.

Even in retirement, Börje's legacy endures. The man who once braved Torneträsk's icy waters may no longer take such risks, but his impact on hockey remains undeniable.

Includes an afterword by Börje's brother, Stig Salming, offering a poignant glimpse into Börje's final days.

    Why did Pope Francis canonize a priest responsible for the genocide of the Indians?
    Why does he wish to beatify the anti-Semitic French priest, Leon Dehon?  
    What are the unmentionable reasons for his papal election? 
    Pope Francis is presented as progressive and sensitive to the interests of the people, but underneath his smiles and his good words hides an authoritarian and dogmatic pope. This pope relies on very conservative movements such as Communion and Liberation or the Order of the Knights of Columbus, which are close to Opus Dei. 
    The good Pope Francis is beginning to drop his mask when he declares that Europe is undergoing a new Arab invasion (sic), when he calls on "Catholics with a sense of identity" to take to the streets, when he fights against republican secularism and demonizes atheists.
    After an overview of the financial, political and sexual scandals, Paul Ariès proceeds to a very detailed and documented analysis of the "Church of Francis," particularly in the areas of ecology and sexuality. This clear book offers a surprising insight into the best communicator the Church has known in a long time.

    Oliver Cromwell was an English army and statesman who led Parliamentary armies against King Charles I throughout the English Civil War. From 1653 till his death in the year 1658, he lead the British army in the British Islands area. 
    Why was he so hated by so many? And is this image of him historically correct? 
    Even though we cannot go back in time 450 years ago, we can certainly try to find the answers in the sources we have. 
    The reason why people thought he was so evil, is because of his brutality against the Irish at that time. Several Irish and English scholars agree that Cromwell was too cruel in Ireland. Other academics blame him of 'ethnic cleansing,' or the systematic expulsion of a certain ethnic population from a territory. It typically entails the execution and deportation of Catholics, and that he is despised by Irish Catholics. 
    Is this true? And why did he do this? 
    Find out more about his time, his life, his circumstances and his legacy.
