In the chaos that grips the steppes in the mid 15th century, anarchy reins. Though there are though who call themselves khans, they were merely figureheads controlled by their own prime ministers, the taishis. The once mighty Borjigin Clan has been bled nearly dry, and usurpers are over every hill crest. 

Into this world of destruction and disarray, two children are born on opposite sides of the vast Gobi. The first is one of the last members of the House of Borjigin, a boy called Bayan Möngke, who will in time become the heir to the office of Great Khan of the Mongols. The other a girl of seemingly little significance, Mandukhai, who will be given to the sitting Khan in marriage as his second queen.

The best piece of advice i can give on delegating is very much up in the clouds, but you know me: I'm a clouds and dirt guy. ;) I'm pretty great at delegating, and I'll tell you the middle one rule to delegating well: recognize that 99.9% of things don't mean shit. If you actually think it's not that important, it becomes a hell of a lot easier to let someone else do it. If you recognize that someone else's 7.7 point skills are completely acceptable for a task in place of your 10 point skills, do it. It's all about humility. Ego is the issue with delegation. Even though I have a ton of ego, I have a boatload more of humility than you think.

Le dirty talking ou dirty talk : en français, le parler sale. Les trucs un peu hard qu'on (se) dit au lit. La sexualité étant un espace hautement culturel, on a même réussi à codifier le dérapage – il s'agit d'être explicite mais pas trop, de se dire des cochonneries mais pas trop. Maïa Mazaurette donne quelques conseils de bon sens illustrés de sons réjouissants.
