aborder la vie avec enthousiasme, tels sont les objectifs que Paul Wilson propose d'atteindre."A groundbreaking, freshly-researched examination of one of the most dramatic and consequential marriages in history: Henry VIII's long courtship, short…
union, and brutal execution of Anne Boleyn. Hunting the Falcon is the story of how Henry VIII's obsessive desire for Anne Boleyn changed him and his country forever. John Guy and Julia Fox, two of the most acclaimed and distinguished historians of this period, have joined forces to present Anne and Henry in startlingly new ways. By closely examining the most recent archival discoveries, and peeling back layers of historical myth and misinterpretation and distortion, Guy and Fox are able to set Anne and Henry's tragic relationship against the major international events of the time, and integrate and reinterpret sources hidden in plain sight or simply misunderstood. Among other things, they dispel lingering and latently misogynistic assumptions about Anne which anachronistically presumed that a sixteenth-century woman, even a queen, could exert little to no influence on the politics and beliefs of a patriarchal society. They reveal how, in fact, Anne was a shrewd, if ruthless, politician in her own right, a woman who steered Henry and his policies, often against the advice he received from his male advisers—and whom Henry seriously contemplated making joint sovereign. Hunting the Falcon sets the facts–and some completely new finds–into a far wider frame, providing an appreciation of this misunderstood and underestimated woman. It explores how Anne organized her "side" of the royal court on novel and (in male eyes) subversive lines compared to her queenly predecessors, adopting instead French protocol by which the sexes mingled freely in her private chambers. Men could share in the women's often sexually charged courtly "pastimes" and had liberal access to Anne, and she to them—encounters from which she gained much of her political intelligence and extended her authority, and which also sowed the seeds of her own downfall. An exhilarating feat of historical research and analysis, Hunting the Falcon is also a thrilling and tragic story of a marriage that has proved of enduring fascination over the centuries. But in the hands of John Guy and Julia Fox, even the most knowledgeable reader will encounter this story as if for the first time"Avez-vous jamais, dans un dîner, osé lancer la fameuse question : "Pourquoi les femmes font-elles plus pipi que les hommes…
?" Aussitôt, soyez-en sûr, chacun apportera son commentaire définitif à un problème non seulement complexe mais politiquement (et sexuellement) incorrect. L'urgentiste Billy Goldberg et l'écrivain satirique Mark Leyner n'hésitent pas, eux, à prendre frontalement ladite question et à livrer une réponse... qui pourrait bien vous servir en cas de besoin ! [...] Pourquoi les femmes n'ont-elles pas de pomme d'Adam ? Pourquoi sont-elles moins douées pour les maths que les hommes ? Pourquoi les hommes n'écoutent-ils jamais ?... et vivent-ils moins longtemps ! D'autres sujets sérieux (et moins sérieux) passent au scanner de nos deux compères à la verve scientifique et à l'humour dévastateur.

sol sous ses pieds produit un effet à la fois dynamisant et apaisant. Peu importe le but poursuivi, la marche, la balade, la promenade, la randonnée, le pèlerinage - c'est selon - font du bien au corps et à l'esprit. D'ailleurs, les philosophes ont aussi pratiqué la marche, chacun à sa façon : Thalès, et son faux pas qui le précipita au fond d'un puits ; Kant que rien ne détourna jamais de sa sortie quotidienne, à cinq heures précises ; Kierkegaard et ses promenades imaginaires ; Cioran, déambulant loin des hommes et de leurs désastreuses ambitions... L'auteur, promeneur assidu, examine attentivement cette mystérieuse connivence du pas et du mot, du souffle et de l'idée, du muscle et de la pensée. La marche éveille et stimule l'esprit, mais, bien plus encore, elle est une sagesse, une sagesse du corps." -- 4e de couvLa jeunesse n'a pas d'âge: mes secrets de forme

Par Omid Scobie. 2023
Endgame, the explosive book from longtime royal journalist Omid Scobie and author of the international blockbuster Finding Freedom, is a…
penetrating investigation into the current state of the British monarchy—an unpopular king, a power-hungry heir to the throne, a queen willing to go to dangerous lengths to preserve her image, and a prince forced to start a new life after being betrayed by his own family. Queen Elizabeth II's death ruptured the already-fractured foundations of the House of Windsor—and dismantled the protective shield around it. With an institution long plagued by antiquated ideas around race, class and money, the monarchy and those who prop it up are now exposed and at odds with a rapidly modernizing world. Relying on his vast experience as a royal reporter and over a decade of conversations and interviews with current and former Palace staff, trusted friends of the royals and even the family members themselves, Scobie pulls back the curtain on an institution in turmoil to show what the monarchy must change in order to survive. This is the monarchy's endgame. Do they have what it takes to save it?When the words suddenly stopped: finding my voice again after a massive stroke

Par Alan Stewart. 2014
"As the son of Mary Queen of Scots, born into her 'bloody nest,' James had the most precarious of childhoods.…
Even before his birth, his life was threatened: it was rumored that his father, Henry, had tried to make the pregnant Mary miscarry by forcing her to witness the assassination of her supposed lover, David Riccio. By the time James was a one-year-old, Henry was murdered, possibly with the connivance of his mother, Mary was in exile in England and he was King of Scotland. By the age of five, he had experienced three different regents as the ancient dynasties of Scotland battled for power and made him a virtual prisoner in Stirling Castle. In fact, James did not set foot outside the confines of Stirling until he was eleven, when he took control of the country. But even with power in his hands, he would never feel safe. For the rest of his life, he could be caught up in bitter struggles between the warring political and religious factions who fought for control over his mind and body." -- Provided by publisherThis book may save your life: Everyday health hacks to worry less and live better
