  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.

  This is small copy of the introduction of the book: Welcome to the remarkable journey through the life and times of Jan Hus, a name that resonates through the annals of history as a symbol of courage, conviction, and religious reform. In this captivating biography, we delve deep into the extraordinary life of Jan Hus, a Czech theologian, philosopher, and the first church reformer. 
  Our journey begins in the heart of Bohemia, in the small village of Husinec, where Jan Hus was born around the year 1369. Little did the world know that this unassuming child would grow up to challenge the mighty Catholic Church and ignite a movement that would forever alter the course of European history. 
  As we progress through these pages, we will unravel the story of Hus's early education and his academic pursuits at the University of Prague. Here, in the hallowed halls of learning, he laid the foundation for his future endeavors, setting the stage for his role as a master of arts in 1396. But it was his appointment as a university preacher in 1401 that truly marked the inception of his remarkable journey. The Bethlehem Chapel in Prague became the pulpit from which Hus would not only disseminate religious teachings but also nurture the seeds of reform.
