Ces deux heures d'entretien permettent à l'auditeur de redécouvrir la vie à bord des terre-neuvas, qui du XVe jusqu'au début du XXe siècle pratiquaient la pêche à la morue au large de Terre-Neuve, et des cap-horniers ? Puissants voiliers qui naviguèrent sur toutes les mers du globe.

Penseur brillant, Marx est aussi un homme d'action qui consacre sa vie à la lutte. Pour lui, le niveau de civilisation d'une société se mesure au sort qu'elle réserve aux plus démunis. D'où son engagement aux côtés du prolétariat, pour lequel il construit une théorie complète, dans le but de le rendre idéologiquement autonome. C'est en effet ainsi que peut se fonder efficacement son émancipation, qui par ailleurs délivre toute la société du règne de l'argent.

"Moment attachant et passionnant que cet échange entre deux générations qui traversent leur vie, leur passion pour ce métier."

La parution des Mémoires de Philippe de Gaulle chez Plon, créa, tant chez certains hommes politiques que chez des journalistes et historiens, un certain nombre de polémiques auxquelles l'Amiral désirait répondre de sa propre voix. Il accepta donc ma proposition d'un entretien avec Michel Tauriac pour y inscrire ses souvenirs majeurs et en même temps donner des réponses définitives à la vérité historique dont il a été un témoin privilégié.

Few people in Britain have not heard of the Kray twins, the infamous East End gangsters who murdered in cold blood with barely a backward glance. And more than 30 books, hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles, a blockbuster movie, and the spectacular funerals that brought the East End to a standstill have ensured that the twins' fearsome reputation lives on. But what did Ronnie and Reggie sound like? Did their voices match the terrifying violence that made them part of criminal folklore?

After appearing in three seasons of Made in Chelsea, Dunlop decided it was time to leave, and she moved to LA to pursue a career as a singer. Dunlop was struggling with anxiety and depression around this time and the behaviours she had learned when she was younger were no longer serving her to become who she wanted to be. She decided to start a podcast, Saturn Returns, with astrologist Noura Bourni, in which they look at the transitions a person in their late twenties can face when Saturn returns to the position it was in when they were born.

Churchill was an improbable hero for what was to be called "the century of the common man", not only because he was personally so very uncommon, but because he was from an elite British family and was never closely in touch with "ordinary people" in Britain, let alone the rest of the world. Yet to pigeonhole Churchill that way is misleading. Winston Churchill was seen even in his own lifetime as a historic figure, one of the great men of world history.

In this course, we'll examine the lives and careers of successful men and women who seized the opportunities offered by the vibrant and open economy that has ensued. We'll examine how each of these individuals found the necessary resources - both economic and personal - to achieve greatness in the business arena.

To study Franklin's life is to learn not only the history of a single man, but to understand some of the most monumental changes in all of human history.
