This delightful love story begins in France at the end of the First World War, moves to a French colonial island in the South Pacific, then to war-torn Indochina, and ends back in France. It relates the extraordinary and heart touching adventures in beautifully described exotic settings of a young couple forced to part because of social barriers and prejudice. Defying all challenges, their courage and steadfast devotion keeps their love alive as they go their separate ways to experience different aspects of life in France and the Orient during the mid-1950s. However, nothing can fill the void of their separation except the hand of fate, but their love for one another, symbolized by the Chinese character on the cover, never dies.
Marie Villeneuve (Author) In order to encourage the learning of French by children of all horizons and all cultures, Marie has chosen to publish bilingual versions of this story in French-Spanish, French-Creole and French-English. To Marie, it is essential to create links between generations and between cultures; that is the reason why Marie asked children from Québec and Mexico to illustrate the book. In this story, Marie Villeneuve takes the readers to the African savannah, at the foot of an old baobab that tells the story of Ahmadou, the philosophical chameleon and his friends.
In the misty beginning of the medieval times, Duke Melan acquires a splendid red-haired slave from a Persian merchant. But before he can get to her, she mysteriously disappears from a locked cell at the top of a tower. He believes that witchcraft was involved in her disappearance. The Duke wants her back at all costs. He travels to the Mausoleum of Riach in Transylvania where he surrenders his soul to the ‘Evil Spirit’ in return for otherworldly powers. Melan strikes Albalux, the peaceful neighboring Kingdom, and thanks to his newly acquired powers, he slaughters all the males within a day. The nations of the time react. The Allies besiege Melan’s Black Stone Fortress. Soon the Church, Crusaders and La Chamza (a Brotherhood of witches and wizards) are drawn into the battle. Unlikely mysterious otherworldly alliances are made. Victories and losses are the results of never heard before tactics and strategies. Can the Allies overcome the powers made available to Melan by the ‘Evil Spirit’?

Une science vivante Depuis des millénaires, bon nombre de religions et de mouvements spirituels tels que l’Hindouisme, le Bouddhisme et le mouvement Nouvel Âge ont créé des représentations structurées, imagées selon une symétrie multiple avec des figures géométriques (carré, cercle, triangle, cube, sphère, etc.) tels que les mantras et mandalas pour l’avancement intérieur de l’Être. Bien que ces formes aient servi de support spirituel à l’être humain pendant l’évolution humaine, les temps ont grandement changé depuis. La conscience humaine a fait de grands pas dans l’avancement de son évolution à travers le temps, bien que la résultante de nos jours semble en...
This immense territory that would take many days to cross, had become a promise of surprises and wonders for us, together with the astonishing diversity of the countryside and climate. We deliberately chose to make it a trip to explore nature and not to travel conventionally. We opted to visit canyons, trees, lakes and places where nature displays its beauty and its strangeness. We wanted to see sights that nature generously promises us, like the burning deserts of Arizona, the striking sculptures of the different canyons in Colorado, the rugged Pacific Ocean coast in California and Oregon. And finally, the American National Parks as well as the parks of the different States, promised us numerous possible excursions. That is what we have realized during this voyage, and that we simply offer you with our best pictures. Bon voyage!
How a South Carolina cotton gin factory worker ends up in India, and successfully takes over the industrial hemp and cotton industries.
Current concerns in maritime Eurasia are centered on rising powers China and India. By way of background to understanding the current regional great power rivalry within maritime Eurasia, this book asks what we can learn from historic Eurasian maritime geopolitical players and their interactions that will inform and enlighten today’s international relations practitioners. Great Power Clashes along the Maritime Silk Road examines three seminal historical cases of maritime clashes in the China Seas, four in the Indian Ocean, and one in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Each of these is an example of local or regional conflict reflecting the circumstances of time and place. The cases have been chosen to provide a comparative framework of significant premodern maritime clashes distributed along the full Eurasian maritime perimeter. Lessons include understanding struggles between continental and maritime powers in Eurasia, and understanding the decisive impact that naval leadership, intelligence, technology, alliances, and identity have had in the past and will have on the future.
