Icon-Icon Opinion :
More than just sport, tennis requires an implacable strategic scheme – the book describes the technique of the great champion Amélie Mauresmo, who reveals herself, and at the same time processes that forge the champions of this sport. Oh, how many techniques!

30 years of research and passion. A mechanical and anatomical truth. A history at the service of gestural technique. An encyclopedia from the end of the 19th century, from the whole of the 20th century and from the beginning of the 21st century until the end of 2002. 30 years of research and passion. Indeed at the beginning of my teaching between 1969 and 1972, I had the worst difficulties with my students to convince them of the most elementary technique because it was advised everything and its opposite. After a painful period when I almost gave up teaching tennis, I came up with the idea of showing photographic documents to prove the truth of what I was saying and taken in the game, I have after more than 30 years of research created a large collection on all the moves of tennis with in particular 4 files (more than 1000 pages of all the errors and incompetences made at all times and in all countries of the world) which prove that throughout the 20th century all the tennis federations of the world did not understand tennistic mechanics or tennistic technique. I show that there is a mechanical and anatomical truth and that the champions of yesterday played as the champions of today and as the champions of tomorrow will play. Throughout the 20th century the champions had a weak point and sometimes even 2 weak points which prove the incompetence of the tennis federations. In 1987, my 520-page book «TENNIS 15 ans de recherches pour une vérité» was published in 2000 copies. As I did not want my tennistic research to die in the bottom of a drawer, my 3 press articles 1) The new republic of the Pyrenees in 1983-2) Special last in 1985 3) All the news of Versailles in 1986 and this book «TENNIS 15 ans de recherches pour une vérité In 1987, not to mention L’hebdomadaire «La Semaine des Pyrénées «which produced in 1997 and 1998 about twenty articles on training and also on technical topics of all tennis moves. All these press articles and this book are evidently proof of the precedence of all my tennistic researches.

The Prince of Romanée-Conti
45.00 € En savoir +BuyIcon Icon Opinion :
It is the most prestigious appellation in the world – yet the iconic Romanée-Conti is the fruit of a vineyard that is small in size, but big in history. This is precisely what Laurens Delpech reveals in this book – the short story of the Prince of Romanée-Conti, the man who turned this modest vineyard into a grand cru, like a work of gustatory art!
Author: Laurens Delpech
Publishing House: Flammarion
Publication Date: October 2020
Description :Cousin of the King of France Louis XV, Prince Louis-François de Bourbon-Conti was a patron of the intellectuals of his time such as Diderot, Beaumarchais and Rousseau and a very famous collector of works of art. His stroke of genius was the purchase of the vineyard of the Romanée which was to be called Romanée-Conti. This book reveals the secrets of this mythical wine, object of a real cult by amateurs around the world. After a biography dedicated to the prince of Conti, it allows us, through recent tastings, to define the characteristics of this unique wine that must be placed within the Climates of Burgundy. These climates are terroirs where Burgundian grape varieties are optimally acclimatized. These long-recognized terroirs have enjoyed a unique historical continuity and were inscribed on the World Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2015. To understand Burgundy, it is necessary to know its climates but also to be aware of the climate, that is to say the meteorological conditions of each vintage, because the fact of producing great wines, to the northern limit of maturity of the type of vines used, is sometimes like an obstacle course where nature tries to play tricks on the winemaker. This is why Laurens Delpech reproduces large extracts from the harvest reports published since 1996 by Aubert de Villaine, who runs the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. This saga of successive vintages reminds us of the difficulty of winemaking. This original, very complete book, which highlights the duality of climates and climate that makes the greatest wines of Burgundy, is written with an alert pen. It is an excellent synthesis of the Romanée-Conti which will also be very useful to those who wish, quite simply, to refine their knowledge and appreciation of Burgundy wines.

Publication Date: 2020
Description : During André Leon Talley’s first magazine job assisting Andy Warhol at Interview , a fateful meeting with Karl Lagerfeld began a decades-long friendship and propelled Talley into the upper echelons by virtue of his shared knowledge and adoration of fashion. He moved to Paris as bureau chief of John Fairchild’s Women’s Wear Daily , befriending fashion’s most important designers. But as Talley made friends, he also made enemies. A fraught encounter with a member of the house of Yves Saint Laurent sent him back to New York and into the offices of Vogue under Grace Mirabella. There, he developed an unlikely but intimate friendship with Anna Wintour, and as she rose to the top of Vogue‘s masthead, Talley became the most influential man in fashion.The Chiffon Trenches is a candid look at the who’s who of the last fifty years of fashion, and proof that fact is always fascinatingly more devilish than fiction. André Leon Talley’s engaging memoir tells the story of how he not only survived but thrived – despite racism, illicit rumors and all the other challenges of this notoriously cutthroat industry – to become one of the most legendary voices and faces in fashion.
