  This document is unique! It was written by the hand of a mob boss, on simple sheets of paper, between 2022 and 2023. For the first time, a Marseilles Tony Montana lifts the veil on the northern neighborhoods, the shootouts at the foot of the towers and the thousands of drug users who flock there every day.
  From his Algerian childhood to his run-ins with the law, via his career as a lookout, a drug dealer... and a dad, the man who calls himself Amin Kacem throws us into the world of Scarface. With his vivid, unvarnished pen, the mob boss tells of violence, danger, injustice, greed and the will to live.
  More than a story about a man and drugs, for the author, this book is a testament. Above all, it’s a terrible response to those who are surprised that entire neighborhoods are collapsing; it’s a thunderclap that will give pause to young people dreaming of a career as super-dealers; and it’s a merciless challenge to the politicians who, for a long time, could have, and therefore should have, prevented the current tragedies and imminent catastrophe.

  The Second World War was the most destructive and widespread war to date. The darkest of evils called for the bravest of the brave to step forward and defend the free world. 
   
  Millions of people lost their lives, millions suffered physical and mental affects. This wasn’t a time for just the brave few, it was a time of global challenge and almost everybody stepped up to the mark. And so, why should it be that those stars and celebrities of stage and screen should be exempt? The truth is that a great many not only took the challenge of war, but volunteered for it and shone as if they were giving the greatest of performances. 
   
  This is the surprising story of those showbiz soldiers who cast aside their cares for fame and fortune and joined the millions of gallant men and women around the world in the battle against tyranny.

  To the One I Love the Best

  Ludwig Bemelmans

  A witty and charming account of the wildly entertaining Elsie de Wolfe in 1950s Hollywood, recounted by her dear friend, the beloved creator of Madeline. 
   
   
   
  Ludwig Bemelmans's charming intergenerational friendship with the late-in-life "First Lady of Interior Decoration" provides an enormously enjoyable nostalgia trip to the sun-soaked glamour of Los Angeles, where de Wolfe surrounded herself with classic movie stars and a luminous parade of life's oddities. 
   
   
   
  With hilarity and mischief that de Wolfe would no doubt approve, To the One I Love the Best lifts the curtain on 1950s Hollywood—a bygone world of extravagance and eccentricity, where the parties are held in circus tents and populated by movie stars. 
   
   
   
  Bemelmans, who was working at MGM, had originally come to the California home of de Wolfe just for cocktails, but by the end of the night, he was firmly established as a member of the family: given a bedroom in their sumptuous house, invitations to the most outrageous parties in Hollywood, and the friendship of the larger-than-life woman known to her closest friends simply as "Mother." 
   
   
   
  To the One I Love the Best is a touching tribute to a fabulously funny woman and an American icon.

  'Mac Amhlaigh sought to record every pub and dancehall, every sunset, stone wall and rainbow in his mind, to pack the city in his suitcase so that she remained with him forever, so he could all at once hear her lost voice everywhere.' – Colum McCann
  'Mícheál Ó hAodha has done the literary world a huge service by translating Dónall Mac Amhlaigh's work into English.' – Gillian Mawson
  'a work that exudes authenticity and immediacy.' – Liam Harte
  A Soldier's Song is a classic account of Irish army life by a working-class writer whose work and contribution to literary culture is only now being fully appreciated.

  A lost treasure of Irish writing translated for the first time into English.
