    The Fabulous Moolah.

    The Fabulous Moolah.

    Hardcover with dustjacket, in good condition. With illustrations.

    Lillian Ellison, known in the ring as the Fabulous Moolah, is one of wrestling's pioneering veterans and heroines, both in and out of the squared circle. When wrestling first caught the attention of the public, Moolah had a ringside seat. Appearing on the scene in 1949 as a "valet" for some male wrestlers, she was introduced to the crowd as a "slave girl" dressed in revealing leopardskin. But the woman who got into the business for the "moolah" wouldn't remain a valet for long, and soon Moolah turned her humble beginnings into a successful and long-lived career. Growing up in Tookiedoo, South Carolina, Moolah was the youngest of thirteen children -- and the only girl. Surrounded by twelve rambunctious brothers, she had to be tough from the get-go. After the death of their mother when she was just ten years old, Moolah and her father spent Tuesday nights at local professional wrestling matches. At first she was just excited to do something special with her father. But everything changed when Mildred Burke (one of the most popular "lady rasslers" of the day) came to town. After years of being surrounded by boys, Moolah had finally found a woman she could look up to. From that night on, Moolah was hooked. She stayed in the ring throughout the 1950s and 1960s, even though technically women were banned from wrestling "for their own good." When the Women's Division of the National Wrestling Alliance was failing, Moolah started training girls at her home base in South Carolina, and by the late sixties the girls she had trained at Girl Wrestling Enterprises represented the single largest group of female wrestlers in the country. Soon the National Wrestling Alliance recognized her as the undisputed Women's Champ, a title she would hold for the next twenty years. Here, for the first time, the Fabulous Moolah tells all, from her friendship with the infamous Jerry Lee Lewis to a marriage proposal from country-music legend Hank Williams Sr. Moolah dishes plenty of wrestling dirt as well and relates hilarious moments from her decades long friendship with her in-ring cohort Mae Young. After more than half a century of wrestling, Moolah still trains girls for the ring and even manages to get into the ring herself now and again. She is a role model for strong women everywhere, and she will go down in history as one of wrestling's all-time greats.

    Autobiographie d`un yogi tibetain tome 1

    Paperback, in goede staat.

    " Une source d'inspiration pour les disciples du bouddhisme, mais aussi pour tous les lecteurs à quelque horizon qu'ils appartiennent. " Le Dalaï-lama La vie de Shabkar (1781-1851), traduite ici par Matthieu Ricard et Carisse Busquet, est sans doute la biographie la plus célèbre au Tibet après celle de Milarépa. Comme l'auteur des Cent Mille Chants, mais beaucoup plus proche de nous dans le temps, Shabkar est révéré par le peuple tibétain pour sa sainteté et sa simplicité, sa faculté d'émouvoir aussi bien que de faire rire, la profondeur de sa spiritualité exprimée en un style qui la rend accessible à tous. Ayant atteint l'ultime étape de l'accomplissement (dzogchen), Shabkar fut supplié par ses disciples de raconter les étapes de son itinéraire mystique. Il s'y appliqua en retraçant, dans un passionnant récit en prose entrecoupé de chants poétiques, son chemin d'errance. Ayant connu le plus extrême dénuement et la plus grand félicité et ermite inspiré prodiguait ses enseignements à tous les êtres qu'il rencontrait, y compris des bandits dangereux ou des animaux sauvages. Son histoire illustre parfaitement l'enseignement bouddhiste sur le sens de la vie humaine, sur la mort, l'impermanence et sur notre possible délivrance vis-à-vis de la souffrance. En un temps où le Tibet était en proie au sectarisme religieux et aux rivalités ethniques, Shabkar incarna la tolérance et l'altruisme - ce qui rend son message d'autant plus contemporain.
