China: The New Red Billionaires
(Chine : les nouveaux milliardaires rouges)
Laure de Charette et Marion Zipfel
On the tarmac of Sanya airport, in the tropical island of Hainan in Southern
China William Shi, unkempt hair, denim shorts and white shirt, has come to buy
a new jet for his father. While the young heir rushes into a car with tinted
windows, a small group boarded a forty million dollar private jet for a very
private business lunch.Welcome to the world of China’s super rich.
“To Get rich is glorious”! Deng Xiaoping’s famous slogan started China on the
way to capitalism thirty years ago freeing up entrepreneurial forces of an entire
generation. From the “cosmetics queen” Yue-Sai Kan, to the drinks tycoon Zong
Qinghou or the young internet mogul Robin Li, Marion Zipfel and Laure de
Charette have met these billionaires that have built fortunes in less than a
generation. Their fascinating characters and stories give a glimpse of the
economic transformation of China. Impatient, workaholics, devoured by
ambition and very well connected, they embody the “capitalism with Chinese
characteristics”. However, these success stories, sometimes built on corruption,
create a deep sense of injustice in a country that is getting more and more
unequal.
How Communist China has become one of the largest factories to billionaires?
Who are these new emperors of business alike and how do they live? How do
they spend their billions of yuan?
Laure de Charette, 29, is a French journalist living in
Singapore since 2010. She works as the correspondent of
“The New Economist”, a French leading business review.
She has written several books, such as the successful Gotha
City - Investigation inside the secret and powerful French
aristocracy. She worked during 5 years for the political
section at “20 Minutes”, a French daily newspaper, in Paris.

Sex, Lies and Politics
(Sexe, mensonges et politique)
Pierre Lunel
Pierre Lunel gives a quick outline of politicians who
made history through their sexual escapades. A lot of
politics are seducers more faithful to their promises than
to their wives. The author shows that the link between
power and sex is very strong, but paradoxically the latter
is their biggest weakness. He discloses great leader’s
obsessions and secrets, and doesn’t hesitate to make their
characters, sometimes that can be so charismatic, less
prestigious.

The Big Book of Russian Proverbs
(Le Grand Livre des proverbes russes)
Prince Constantin Mourousy
This book gathers more than one thousand proverbs
together, reflecting spirit of Russian folk, its essence and
originality. Russian language, famous for its aphorisms and
brevity, is full of proverbs as just as accurate. Although,
Pushkin used to say: “What splendor, what subtlety, what
wisdom in a Russian proverb! They are worth more than
gold!”
