I promise you, it's the best $26 you can spend.' Oprah Winfrey Nobel Peace Prize Laureates His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu have survived more than fifty years of exile and the soul-crushing violence of oppression. Despite their hardships - or, as they would say, because of them - they are two of the most joyful people on the planet. In April 2015, Archbishop Tutu travelled to the Dalai Lama's home in Dharamsala, India, to celebrate His Holiness's eightieth birthday and to create this book as a gift for others. They looked back on their long lives to answer a single burning question: how do we find joy in the face of life's inevitable suffering? They traded intimate stories, teased each other continually, and shared their spiritual practices. By the end of a week filled with laughter and punctuated with tears, these two global heroes had stared into the abyss and despair of our times and revealed how to live a life brimming with joy. This book offers us a rare opportunity to experience their astonishing and unprecedented week together, from the first embrace to the final goodbye.

Prima orfano e chierico, poi ladro e spia, approda infine alla corte dell'influente e spregiudicato Marchese de la Mota, grazie al quale ottiene un titolo nobiliare e apprende tutti i segreti dell'arte della spada e della ben più piacevole arte della seduzione.

Fino all'impresa più ardua, e non ancora compiuta: conquistare il cuore dell'unica donna in grado di fargli dimenticare tutte le altre, la bella e coraggiosa Ana, promessa sposa del Marchese...
